Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Review

Classic Game for the GBA
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon is one of the most challanging, yet fair games I have ever played. I've played many games where it was challanging sure, but only because your enemy used cheap moves or was insanely powerful in comparison to the enemies you fought to get to them. Not in this game. Castlevania: CotM maintains a constant level of difficulty while remaining fun and rewarding. You aren't completely reliant on levelling up throughout the game (though it certainly helps) as a good amount of skill can see you through almost any battle unscathed. A good title for fans of action games and RPGs, this game is easily worth a 10-15 dollar drop in the bucket.

old school style fun
I like the Castlevania series, so I have no complaints about this game. Controls are good, and it sticks to the tried and true platform genre.

This is the 2nd best one for the GBA
First of all, yes this game is infamous for it's darker-than-any-other-GBA graphics. It is probably highly recommended that you play this game on a backlit GBA, the Gameboy Player or the DS. This is why I gave it the overall 4 star rating.
Now for the actual game itself. After the great but overlooked Symphony of the Night (due to the fact that Sony and everybody else, which is the audience, wanting 3D games), known for it's gameplay and amazing 2D graphics, fans wanted more so when the GBA launched, a month later, this game came out. some think that this game wasn't as good as Symphony of the Night. Well, even though their mostly right, but people have to remember that this was a game that was meant for a Handheld so of course it's not as pretty as that game. the gameplay is just like Symphony of the Night except there are a few differences. Graphics are good but a bit choppy, your Whip is the only weapon you can use, the Card system is great and has a lot of experimenting, the replay value is good, The Game is not quite as large as the other one (there were 2 castles in the PSone game), The gameplay is more of "as soon as you defeat this boss this is the next area to go to" unlike Symphony of the Night in which you can have multiple paths to go (make your own decision on where to go, but still not every place you can go quite yet), the EXP system is actually better (in SOTN, whenever you fight enemies for a long time, they go from whatever EXP points they have to simply 1 EXP so your maximum level to get to is 62 to be exact) but this game doesn't have that so you can go to level 99 in this game. Because this is the rarest of the 3 GBA game (the other 2 were rereleased in a 2 in 1 cart.), some people might make their price higher than 30 bucks so get it while you can. this game is Better than Harmony of Dissonance but not as good as Aria of Sorrow (or the other non-GBA RPG Castlevania games)

Challenging and dark Castlevania game.
This game is just plain old fun. Its very challenging, unlike most other new Castlevania games, and really gets you into the adventure.
The special items you can obtain all make the game more interesting and the magic and card system just plain rocks.
You can change your whip into fire/ice whips, get magical swords and even summon a dozen monsters to help you.
The card system is what really makes this game shine.
Pick this game up if you really want a fun and exciting dark adventure, but be warned that this game requires a bit of skill to get through as it very tough.

hard but gets better
I reccomend this game to good thinkers and people who like strategy games and long action-fantasy games. I first had trouble with this game but then it became easier to play though some bosses are hard.(use Holy Water when facing the IRON GOLEM)I liked the story, and its better to use a GameBoyAdvanceSP or a regular GameBoyAdvance with a light to catch the good graphics.Its very hard to get all the dss cards(unicorn and black dog are gotten in the battle arena).To defeat Draculas second formI reccomend URANUS WITH THUNDERBIRD DSS CARDS.Its a very good game, so buy it.
