great adventure game, now at an even better price

User Rating: 9.4 | Castlevania: Akatsuki no Minuet GBA
out of the three original castlevania titles on gameboy advance, i found that this one is in fact the best crafted. circle of the moon was sluggish(not bashing it), harmony of dissonance was too easy and too bright, this game found more of a balance in difficulty and an acceptable color palette. you can run through the game quickly, but if you want 100% it's well worth the money. my play time with all souls and all was 26 hours at a level 99. you'll find little playability after that much play, but with stop and go portable gaming, you'll find that the time is spanned over a possible few weeks. if you're looking for an in depth adventure game with great sound and smooth visuals for your gameboy, this is a great game to think about - especially now that it is sold with harmony of dissonance.
