Aria of Sorrow all the fucking way!!! Ok maybe the plot was kinda weak and it was kinda easy but still it gave me this feeling of epicness and i got to beat the game without dying ONCE!!! (I mean in real life Soma wouldnt have infinite lives now would he :P)
It was really good for your first review. Keep them coming. PS: do the DS castlvanias now. We have almost the same opinions on all of them. Want to hear yours about them :) ciao
i loved this game,but the questions i asked myself when i was younger were:
1.if dracula just wanted to kill soma,why didnt he build spikes all over his castle,its not like soma can fly over then so he had to run from castle or just to kill himself
2.if this is dracula's castle,why is he making such traps,what if he wants to go to eat or something,he goes trough his castle avoinding minions he put? what if he meets some of bosses?
Although you did fail to say only 3 Souls are Mandatory of getting Boss Rush,New Game Plus,Hard Mode and Sound Gallery this aint a bad review and from personal experience in this game I have to agree with those damn spikes the last 3 Bosses should be difficult then the spike/stone combo
Of all the bosses, I find Balore the hardest, but Death is certainly a close second.
I enjoyed this game immensely, and have finally bought it for GBA after playing it far too much on an emulator. I can't wait to finally play it on its home console.
@OriginalRatoly What about Julius? I think he's probably the hardest boss; he's the only boss that has multiple attack patterns. It takes time to get used to his erratic movements. Yeah, there were some bosses that kicked my ass A LOT like headhunter, death, and Balore. Those were probably the hardest bosses in the normal ending.
@Dawnemperor1 I've never found Julius extremely hard, I usually just stocked up on healing items and MP recovery items and spammed the Balore soul on him.
wow i had it this on mobile before......it wasn't bad but this 1 is better but the best of the castlevania series i think was super castlevania 4 and symphony of the night.
Dammit, i remember playing this when i was like 10 on the gameboy. Lol, i got the best ending i think* where when you kill like the white suit guy the last level supposedly, you can go to the chaos realm and fight the three bosses. I forgot lol.
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE! last I checked, Death is in Aria of Sorrow and just about every other Castlevania usually before and I mean RIGHT BEFORE Dracula with Lament being an exception since Death is the final boss, but seriously, DID YOU EVEN PLAY THE GAME? if you had and went through the clock tower you would know Death is there, by far I say Death is my favorite boss in the series.
if I remember correctly Death is in the Clock Tower and has 4,444 HP and gives 4,444 EXP upon defeat. oh and if you dont know this then your gonna be shocked, you remember Alucard from Sotn I hope, well Genya is Alucard, so many hints are given throughout the game, its just a shame you cant play as Alucard in this one.
its good but there is another Castlevania I liked more, Circle of the Moon, that one was pretty good on GBA but overall, Symphony of the Night is the best in Circle of the Moon Death kicked major ass despite being an optional boss which it was preferred that you did fight him because of a lil relic that proved to be useful.
That was a pretty good review. I like how you mention how poorly thought out the weapon placement is throughout the castle because I thought the same thing. For example, it didn't make much sense to have to use the bat soul to fly to a weapon that wound up being worse than ones that could be bought earlier in the game. The Claimh Solais is a good find though. Despite its minor flaws, this is still my favorite GBA game.
Well, this video is certainly a review. Nice job. There's too many videos on Youtube today that call themselves reviews, but in reality just rants. Good to actually watch a thought-out review once in a while.
this is a really great review. nice job. i like your style, perfect blend of humor and facts. nice job keep the great work up. check my videos out if you want, i think youd like them.
Thank you :). If I had to choose, it would be this one. They are all great games (CotM has a better castle and is more difficult, HoD has a few quirks here and there, but I'll be addressing those in the next review) but I just have more fun with AoS. Had CotM been made later instead of being a launch title, then I'd go with that one instead. What's your favorite?
I am more of a Zelda bot but i LOVED Symphony of the night :) A bit older today and miss some titles. Of the GBA Castlevania games i have only played CotM for a few hours. I liked what i saw but other things came in between. Looking forward to next rev
@topaz989 my friend had CotM, and he said it was better than My HoD, and then our 3rd friend got AoS and we realized that AoS kicked more ass. best graphic, music, and that Soul thing added more fun. but i still loved HoD
nice review !

Maybe Soma is related to Dracula and Mega Man. It would explain his spike problem.
