I bought the double pack 2 weeks ago to save time of switching the two games.

...I guess by contrast Aria is just that much better, though I never felt that way until now.

Yes it is, and so is COTM.

HOD isn't a horrible game, but it is a rather boring CV castle design. TOo much repetition and the music grates on my ears. ALso not fun to look at Juste's crappy running animation.

The whole thing just feels awkward, and is more and more feeling dated -- even against COTM.

I play through it when I got nothing better to do, or I just want to mess with Maxim's mode, which is pretty fun.

I used to rag on this game a lot, and I still think the graphics are too bright for my taste, but Harmony has really grown on me. I still like Aria more though. And while I prefer the darker look of CotM, I think HoD's level design far surpasses Circle's.

Explain, Ol' wise fluid-filled jar.

Harmony is such an odd game, and I love every second of it. Best in the GBA trilogy.  :)

Uhh... which one is that again?

The tracks I liked a little were the file select (remix of CV1's unused track) and the entrance hall. Oh and marble gallery grew on me... "Offense and Defense"?

That's it. The rest are pretty unmemorable.

"Wailing Way" and the cave song are just awful.

Succesor of fate is the music of the entrance.
