Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon for Game Boy Advance (GBA)

Pros: Awesome gameplay, stunning sound and visuals.
Cons: As a single player experience only, it may have limited replay value...

I was lucky enough to play this game a while back at a local import shop, and I thought giving you my impressions might help your decision. I really enjoy the Castlevania series (except for the ill-fated N64 game), so this game was on my list as a...

Pros: Nice graphics, great Castlevania gameplay, dark atmosphere and good story.
Cons: Too dark to see sometimes

I just recently bought this game because everyone was saying that it was real good. I then knew why everyone liked it, this game is really fun! There aren't any boring moments, and it is really challenging. Now the review.

Graphics: 6/10 ...

Pros: Great graphics, balanced difficulty, haunting music, hours of gameplay
Cons: Haven't found any yet

When I heard that Konami was bringing Castlevania to the GBA, I immediately cringed. "What's he smokin?" You ask.
Well, if you've played the sadly disappointing and horribly executed installments on the N64, then you'll
understand what I mean....

Pros: Great gameplay, new options like whip enhancements, and armor.
Cons: Very dark. Don't expect to play unless you are under a nice light.

I just picked up Castlevania: Circle of the Moon for Gameboy Advanced and have logged in 6 hours straight of playing this game. It truly takes advantage of the GBA platform including better sound (no more midi sounds like in previous GB versions) and...

Pros: A lot of fun, even if you have no clue how to play
Cons: The ill-lit corridors are really ill-lit.

It'sbeautifully simple. You are locked in Dracula's castle, and your only real objective is to kick Dracula's butt (and save your Master, but, really, who cares?). So basically, you wander around his castle for hours, trying to find a way to get...

Pros: gameplay, secrets, bosses, cards
Cons: no multi-player, hard to get around(huge map)

I was excited to hear that Konami was re-releasing one of my favorite childhood games, Castlevania, ...

Pros: Good RPG elements, good depth (DSS), and great graphics and sound.
Cons: Lackluster story and infrequent items. The graphics are detailed but dark.

When I bought my GBA, I had a pretty good choice of games. Their's Mario Advance, but I already had Mario 2 and they're the same thing. F-Zero is a classic but it just wasn't what I wanted. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, I had heard, was a great...

Pros: Eight hours of awesome gameplay, nice graphics, responsive controls.
Cons: Screen gets a bit too dark at times.

Konami’s classic vampire-hunting adventure series has been a favorite since the days of the NES, when the series got its start. The series has yet to venture into the realm of 3D, but that’s okay; each incarnation of the series has given us 2D...

Pros: One man, one whip...and a vampire that needs the hurt put on him again.
Cons: Darker than a moonless night...

The moon rises over a mist engulfed castle...Dracula, Evil Lord of the Undead, rises again!!

Fortunately there's always a vampire hunter when you need one. This time around the honor falls upon Nathan Graves, the prodigy hunter given the...

Pros: Comparable to Playstation 2D Castlevania game, Very responsive controls
Cons: Very dark, requires a very good source of light in order to see

The return of Konami's classic 2D franchise is comparable to the Playstation Castlevania game "Symphony of the Night". It has very responsive controls which allow for quick paced gameplay. The game is unbelievable and is the best game for those who miss...

Pros: Incredible Gameplay packed in a small package
Cons: The Graphics are so dark.

I have never played a game as stunning as this title on a handheld platform of any kind. This game has such depth complexity and volume of gameplay that while playing one cannot believe that this is coming from a cart that is three by three inches big....

Pros: good graphics for a handheld, classic 2-d gaming. Castlevania
Cons: Overly Dark

It has been 4 years since the last Castlevania release that was worth playing. Castlevania Symphony of the Night was one of the best Playstation games, and is one of the best Castlevania games overall. Ignore the 3-d releases on other systems, that was...

Pros: Imagination-inflicting intimate intimidation of intrigue.
Cons: if you've got enough light in the room, no complaints. A little dark.

I thought that every CastleVania game held some kind of a memory to my childhood. Especially when I was a child. The original "CastleVania", with the whip, the bosses, and the music...it was way beyond what I'd ever played before.
"CastleVania II:...

Pros: Great Adventure Games, nice graphics for Game boy advance
Cons: Don't play in the dark

The Game Boy Advance version of Castlevania will be very familiar to anyone who's played any title in the series, as the design doesn't stray from the basic formula. You'll beat zombies, spirits, bats, and other ghastly beasts, as well as collect hearts...

Pros: Great Game, Both Novice and Master gamers alike will love it.
Cons: Screen is a little dark, save points are fairly far apart.

This game is great, before this I had never played a game from this series and man was I missing out. Not too long that it gets boring, but not too short either. I was entertained for weeks. I am a gamer who gets frustrated easily, but with this game I...
