User Rating: 9.8 | Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow DS

I had played Castlvania: Aria of Sorrow. This game is practically the same as Aria. Being a NDS game, Dawn of Sorrow uses all possible functions in a way that the gaming experience is maxed. The top screen saves you from pausing the action and reading the map. And the touch screen is used to save the game, but items, command familiars, break blocks, and all sorts of things. The only frustrating part is that you have to deal with magical seals. If you dont input the seal quickly enough, the boss revives and you've got to kill it again!
Anyway. the stroyline is a continuation of Aria's story, and it is still amazing.this game is definitely for hardcore gamers!
