The game that blows away SOTN and the only good castlevania game on the GBA.

SOTN is a great game but this is by far the best castlevania in every category.
You start out as Soma Cruz. A young man who on his way to watch a lunar eclipes with his friend; gets sucked into Count Dracula's sealed castle. Now Soma is not a member of the Belmont clan...he is something more. Gameplay is generally the same as SOTN except for the fact that Soma has the power to absorb the souls of the enemys he kills. Otherwise its pretty much the same. Graphics are ok for GBA standards and the soundtrack is doing its best with the hardware at hand. All i can say is that SOTN was a good game...but this has to be the best in the way of story and gameplay.
