User Rating: 9.3 | Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow DS
Castlevania makes a successful jump onto the DS with Dawn of Sorrow, an action packed adventure.

Gameplay-Excellent. I found the gameplay a lot of fun, with a puzzle here and there. The special abilities were neat too.

Graphics-Great. Very good 2D graphics with nice detail.

Sound-Excellent. Great music and awesome sound effects.

Story-Great. A very good story with some unexpected plot twists. There are multiple endings also.

Replayability-Good. You can collect all the souls of your enemies, beat it with the different endings, and play it on Julius mode.

Button Layout/Control-Good. Pretty much easy to use system. Once you get the feel of it, the control should present no problems.

Overall-Superb. An absolute success; it is definitely reason to continue the series if you're a fan, or start playing it if you're new to the series. Could be another reason to own a DS.....
