Castlevania is a 2-D game that takes place in a castle (obviously). The graphics are amazing, for a 2-D game. I'm not really sure if this is new, but you can play as two characters, either individually or at the same time! There are plenty of weapons and spells and you also get some side quests from a ghost. The music in this game is great, and the game is pretty challenging. If you compare the difficulty of this game compared to Dawn of Sorrow, its pretty hard, you can't say that the game is easy. The bosses are also very cool, this is a game that you MUST get for the DS.
