Beautiful graphics, good storyline, classic castlevania play with a soul stealing twist? I'm there!

User Rating: 10 | Castlevania: Akatsuki no Minuet GBA
By ThatGuy_5 | Review Date:
Gameplay? Straight ten, Castlevania players and others will agree with me. Good controls, fun combat, provides a challenge when trying to beat it 100% (Getting all the souls is the hard part...), has interesting attacks (and lots of them), cool addition of soul stealing, has an excellent storyline which I will not spoil. It also boasts 2 seperate endings, an unlockable boss rush mode, and an unlockable playable character.

Graphics? I'd have to give it a 10 there too. Well crafted backrounds go along with the castlevania feel. The creature and character sprites are well done. The animation is perfectly sprited. Good job there.

Sound? Classic, like the castlevania music always was (and should be). Delightful sound effects that are executed right. Yet again, gets a 10.

Value? 10, 10, 10 baby! Well worth the excess cash spent. Good for quite some time and is worth playing again. I, personally, have played it through 4 times.

Reviewer's Tilt? ...what's that? Oh well 10 anyways because this game's that good.

    Yet another Castlevania quest to stop Dracula results in yet another very fun game.

    Castlevania warps to the future in the latest Dracula-busting sequel--different time period, same type of characters and environments. Does a shift in time period hurt the series? Hardly. With the setting 2035, the ti... Read Full Review
