One of the best Castlevania games so far in the series.

Well, this game is a big improvement to Aria of Sorrow in different ways. The gameplay is pretty much the game to other Castlevania games, which is good for us who played these type of castlevania games with the RPG elements. Personally, I think this game is a little more challeging than Aria of Sorrow. The only beef is the magic seal system. I rather just beat the boss and get it over with them need to draw a magic seal to make the boss go away. Other than that, the gameplay is fine.

The graphics are much better then on the GBA. The monsters look really good and animate very well. The enviroments and backgrounds look really good. Soma's character sprite looks OK, wish it looked better, but it animates really well.

The sound is really excellent in this game. The sounds from the monsters and envrioments sound natural instead of the digital sound in the GBA games. The music is excellent in the game, my favorite is the background music in Wizardly Lab.

The value is that it is worth a buy. Heck, I own this game right now. I hope to get Aria of sorrow so I can start a new game with the Rare Ring. I am now waiting for the next Castlevania, I hopefully it will be even better than this game.
