Exciting Castlevania

User Rating: 8 | Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow DS
Dawn of Sorrow features some pretty good 2-D graphics. Some of them are recycled from previous Castlevania games, but that doesn't stop them from being appealing at the same time. The environments are nice and give the horror kind of feel everyone expects. The characters all look quite nice and the special effects are quite good. All of the enemies have distinct personalities and characteristic about their design as well and really bring up the level of quality. The bosses are what really look good though. It is one of the better games in terms of 2-D graphics for the DS. My favorite part about the game was the sound. This game has an excellent soundtrack that truly brings out the mood of Vampires, demons, and anything else associated with a horror game. It truly is the best game in terms of sound on the DS by far, in my opinion. The sound effects are all smooth as well and in tune. There's really nothing about the sound that I didn't like. Truly a handheld masterpiece when it comes to sound.
