Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
October 10, 2005
Just picked this up last week and am having a blast. Best Castlevania game in a long time. I am not to far into it yet so quick impressions are all I can offer.
The graphics are some of the best 2D I have seen on the DS. The animations are so smooth. Having the map one the second screen seems like a gimmick at first, but it’s really cool once you get used to it. So much easier than pausing and going back and forth.
The bosses are all huge. The only problem so far are the magic seals you have to use to finish off a boss. The patters now aren’t to bad but I can imagine them getting rather hard quickly.
The music and sound effects are all fitting. The cutscenes leave a little to be desired. I wish they had used the game engine more instead of just text.
