I think portrait could have been better without the player switching. Just combine the two characters.

I have PoR and I got 100% in Dawn of Sorrow. I like DoS much more. I haven't played the newest one. Pick up the double pack they have for the GBA that has the two Castlevania games on it, I can't remember their names but it's a great package.

I beat DoS recently and started PoR. It's waaaay worse thatn DoS, or at least so far, so I say Dawn of Sorrow is the best.

Heed his advice! The double pack he's referring to is Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance. Just because there's only 3 DS Castlevania games doesn't prevent you from playing the 3 GBA titles (unless you already have). My order: Aria of Sorrow Dawn of Sorrow Order of Ecclesia Harmony of Dissonance Portrait of Ruin The other GBA game... Never played it, but I hear it's nowhere near AoS/ HoD.

You mean Circle of the Moon. I've heard it is the better one of the three.

Well, i have just played Dawn Of Sorrow and portrait of ruin and of those two i would say that ruins was better exprience. The soul system was fun in sorrow but portrait had more interesting places and that matters most.

depends on what your looking for in a castlevania... dawn of sorrow gives a more SOTN-like experience than Portrait of Ruin or Order of Ecclesia, but if you want to use a whip in the main quest, PoR in the one to go with... OoE is the most difficult of the three, with (imo) DoS being the easiest, so if your looking for a challenge of dexterity over challenge in exploration, OoE takes the cake... because of this, I find it difficult to say any of them are better than the others... though as far as bonus quests go, DoS has the best, then PoR... I'm not a big fan of the bonus quest in OoE, but the main quest more than makes up for it...

I haven't really played a whole lot of OoE, but Dawn of Sorrow is a great game, and it probably ranks among my top 5 DS games.

There's a whole lot of content and game modes in DoS as well. PoR is...alright, but somewhat of a disappointment compared to DoS. I didn't really like the gimmicky "character-swapping" thing, and I didn't really like the castle layout too much.

Dawn of Sorrow was one of IGN's Top 25 DS games of all time, I haven;t played it though I have OOE but I haven't really touched it yet
