 Best. Castlevania. Ever. ...well, as of 5/08. May 29, 2008
I am a big CV fan, played all the 2D cv's. Aria is the best, because the story is amazing, dont read anything about it - just buy it, and play it.
My Ranks:
1)AoS
2)CotM
3)SotN, DoS and PoR
Keeping in mind they are ALL VERY good and VERY close. SotN Gets bonus points for being the pioneer of the CV awesomeness. Cant wait for OoE - Order of Ecclesia!
If you've got a gba or ds, you gotta get this game! December 11, 2007
Castlevania Symphony of the Night is probably my favorate game ever, definatly my favorate castlevania game so far,and this one comes very close. Although Soma Cruz the main protagonist looks like a 65 year old ugly women, but is actually a guy, i still found this to be my favorate game on gba. Instead of spells of subweapons, soma has Power of Domminence which lets him steal souls of his enemies and use their abilities. so occasionally while fighting an enemy u will get their soul and be able to use their power. there r 3 types of souls and 3 pieces of gear u can equip at once. this adds a strategy into the game. Although not the longest game out there, you will want to replay it. It features 3 different endings as well as Julius Belmont a playable character when you beat the game with Soma. This is a great gba game. If you have never played castlevania before this is a good place to start and if you are a Castlevania fan, you wont be disapointed.
one more thing, however there is a **SPOILER ALERT BELOW**
One more thing to top of this great game, Alucard, the main protagonist from Symphony of the Night is in this game, although he is in disguise and referred to as Genya Arikado. He isnt playable unfortunatly, but in the DS sequel to this game Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow, he is playable.
one of the best game boy games July 11, 2007
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow was my second Castlevania game
I played. I got to tell you it is probably the best game
for the GBA. This one was probably the most easiest
Castlevania game to beat, but it was also the most fun.
The graphics are outstanding for the Gba. The game takes
you about 10 hours to beat. When you think you've passed
the game, there is really another ending to it. The ending
really surprised me. Even if you have not played any
Castlevania games, this one should be your first. Go out
there and buy it. You will be glad you did.
Best for the advance August 17, 2005
Buy this game. This is the best castlevania for the advance/sp.
Do not miss this one. If you are crazy like me for castlevania
you will LOVE this game. Resons to buy this game
1 GREAT GAME PLAY 2 GOOD GRAPHICS 3 GREAT STORY 4 CHEAP ON AMAZON
Ebay I seen this game used for 50$ so buy it here wile its cheap
p.s Dont look in Wall-mart I have looked in alot of them nothing.
Well if you dont want to spend alot on it rent or borrow it.
ALL TOGETHER ITS A MUST PLAY GAME!!! I also recomend castlevania4
and the one that is close to me CASTLEVANIA BLOODLINES!!!!!!!
May be quite possibly the best Castlevania ever... May 28, 2005
While the past two GBA Castlevania's were good, this one is leaps and bounds ahead of them.
The Soul system of this game is brilliant and is quite addicting. However, getting the souls of every monster in this game can be quite time consuming. Though, one expensive ring does make this task much easier...
And the main character, Soma, just looks downright cool.
Plus the dozens of swords, hammers, spears, and even guns he can get all behave differently and are unique. No two weapons look or act the same.
And its just plain fun to swing a sword twice the size of your main character. :)
The challenge in this game can be a bit high in some areas but never leaves you frustrated.
Add to the fact that this game has hidden final bosses, hidden areas, a special arena mode which earns you rare and awesome weapons, a hidden playable character, and a mode which allows you to restart the game with all your items intact makes this game a gem and a real joy to play. Also, there is a special Hard mode which can earn you rare items like Deaths Scythe and a werewolf killing Silver Gun.
All in all, this game plain old rocks and will give you plenty of enjoyment and fun for your money. Pick it up, you wont be sorry.
