All the reviews here are true. Two (decent and fun games) in one? You can't go wrong with that!!!
HoD:
+ the 2d-platforming gameplay
+ nice spooky GBA graphics
+ the 3-5 hours time spent on it...plus some replays
+ nice map layout
- too short of a game
- needs some heavy plot aside from battling the Count himself..
AoS:
+ improve graphics and gameplay
+ nice animation( especially Soma's and Julius' animations)
+ the soul system and being able to equip weapons other than
whips
+ the good replay value
+ always the nice map layout
+ and the 3-5 hours time spent on it....plus replays
- why is it always too short?
- plot's script needs imrovement...
All in all, it's a great bargain. 2 brilliant games in 1.
They should've include CotM and made it into a 3-in-1 game, what do you think? :)
