The D.S. had almost no appeal before this game. Castlevania represents the top notch for D.S. gaming, as it continues the story of Soma Cruz. Some of the bosses are unique (Rahab, Dario), but most feel tacked on in convienent locations, like Death and Abbadon. Still, this game has tons of replay value, as you can collect all weapons, get all souls, and get all three endings. Unlocking Julius mode plays off of the story like if you failed your quest as Soma. My only other complaint is that the D.S.'s unique features weren't used (the only soul that I found that relies on the touch screen is Alura Une) as much as they could be.
