Castlevania: Portrait of Sorrow will whip your gaming needs into shape.

User Rating: 9.7 | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin DS
Castlevania: Portrait of Sorrow is the best, new edition of the Castlevania series. All in all, I would rate it a 9.7 out of 10. The gameplay was amazing; it had a wonderful plot and it was easy to catch onto the story. The music is once again great with a few familiar and loved tunes. The only problem for me was that the characters were too familiar. It was like playing the same game again on a different platform. The weapons were awesome with some spectacular new additions such as Nebula which homes on the target. The value of this game was decent; if you waited a while it dropped. While some people enjoy an easy ride through games, most like challanges and suprising twists. After you beat the game, you can unlock boss rush, sisters mode, richitier mode, and sound mode. The hard level caps add a twist to your characters. Maria and Richter are back again also; Loretta and Stella try to fight off some evil. Overall, this was a fantastic game. The new subweapons and quest can keep you busy for countless hours. If your looking to play a game with fun characters and amazing weaponry, Castlevania is back with a refined return.
