The greatness of Symphony of the Night, on the gba.

Simply amazing

The sidescrolling wonder that is Castlevania continues on the gba. You'll find yourself collecting weapons and equipment whilst navigating the castle in a manner infinitely superior to that of Harmony of Dissonance. The new soul system provides a new level of depth to the game, though aquiring souls can be difficult and frustrating. Hard mode and Julius mode add to the depth of this amazing game. Its two predecessors on the GBA were good, but Aria of Sorrow completely outdoes them in every way. The game is much more fun and accessible than Harmony of Dissonance or Circle of the Moon.

Graphics
Amazing effects, a detailed gothic environment, and fluid animation make this one of the best looking gba games out there.

Sound
You'll here the amazing compositions expected from a Castlevania title.
