A DS must-own!
User Rating: 10 | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin DS
I have always liked Castlevania games, and I think this is the best so far. It has great graphics, even for the DS, with great music, gameplay, and replay value (assuming you have unlocked the secret characters). This time, the main vampire isn't Dracula, but a new villain named Brauner, although Dracula does play a part in the story, as well as Death. The two protagonists are Jonathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin. You soon discover a ghost named Eric, who is called Wind for most of the game, who helps you and gives you challenging quests to do to get items. The game does not have the soul capture system of the previous title, but instead you wield a weapon and secondary weapon, which is replaced by a book and a spell if you are Charlotte. The story is easy to follow, gameplay is fun, and graphics are good, making this one of the best handheld games I've ever played.
