 Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow review: A solid addition to the Castlevania series which will make Symphony of the Night fans the happiest they've been since Symphony of the Night.

 Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow review: Not since Symphony of the Night has a Castlevania soundtrack sounded as crisp or well written as this one. Beautifully orchestrated music echoes through the DS speakers, changing as you enter each new area, while retaining that trademark Castlevania musical styling that has been somehow missing in each of the Game Boy Advance Castlevania releases. The sound effects in the game perfectly compliment the foreboding settings in the game, with enemies all sporting their own individual moans or screams.

It's almost a forgone conclusion that most Castlevania fans are going to embrace this game right off. Not only does it take some of the better aspects of the Game Boy Advance series of Castlevania games, but it also manages to expand upon those ideas with several unique touch screen functions that add even more originality to an already established formula. While some developers of Konami still struggle to bring the Castlevania experience into the world of 3D gaming, other members of their development teams have just created the product that once again illustrates just how well the game can still be executed in a 2D format. If you've been looking for a reason or excuse to buy a Nintendo DS system, you've just found it.

DS Central previews "The immortal series jumps into dual-screen territ
 Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow preview: Castlevania DS is looking like it’ll be just as addictive and immersive as the last 4 games in the series, continuing to use the largely successful and safe formula first established in Super Metroid and further elaborated upon with Igarashi’s masterpiece Symphony of the Night. Soma makes his return in August across both Europe and North America.

 Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow review: Konami has released Castlevania title after Castlevania title for nearly Eighteen years now. Throughout the years there have been highs (Symphony of the Night) and lows (Legacy of Darkness). What’s allowed Konami to release these various incarnations, and what put Castlevania on the map was its original release back on the Nintendo Entertainment System. This 2-D side scroller was difficult, had innovative gameplay for its time, and had more enemies than you could shake a whip at. In their latest release for the Nintendo DS, Konami has resurrected this 2-D formula with Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, giving it enough upgrades and extra content to make anyone that has had a falling out with the series rekindle their love for all things Dracula.

 Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow review: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow doesn’t revolutionize the series but it is a very solid evolution from the Gameboy Advance games. The modernized graphics, outstanding sound package, solid gameplay, and cute use of the Nintendo DS makes for a very compelling game. One of the best the Nintendo DS has to offer.
