Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow for Nintendo DS
By Corbet onCastlevania - Dawn of Sorrow is the first Castlevania game on the Nintendo DS. It is actually the sequel of one of the titles available on the Gameboy Advance. Castlevania games are considered action exploration games, where you explore Dracula's castle and try and prevent him from coming back. This game follows the same basic format, like the others, but I felt like they did a great job. I really enjoyed the boss battles - all of them were very different and there are some pretty cool gimmicks that take a while to figure out. The graphics are very good for a 2D game, some of the best for the DS. One thing I'm not a fan of is a gimmick they decided to use with the DS touchscreen. In order to destroy a boss you have to draw a symbol with the handheld's stylus. I felt this was useless and a waste of time. Overall I feel like this is a great Castlevania game for anyone to enjoy.
