After playing through the demo I've come to the conclusion that it's still slightly more fun than the following CVs:

Curse of Darkness
Lament of Innocence
Adventure
Vampire's Kiss
Simon's Quest
Legends
Haunted Castle
Order of Shadows

So comparing it to CV is no disgrace - it's a compliment.  :D

Most people in this forum would add the gba- and ds-ones to you list.

Dunno. I love Dawn of Sorrow. It's basically what Aria of Sorrow should've been. Aria had a much better soundtrack though. Portrait is better than all of the games I listed above IMO, but it's still very average. My favourite handheld CV by far is Harmony of Dissonance though. I love how it's weird and "wrong" in all the right places, the soundtrack.. the castle layout.. it's excellent.

Circle of the Moon is a little... stiff. But great. It's probably the game that feels most like an old school CV to me (except Nathan jumps ridiculously high)
Anyway, great game. Great music too.

Good lord.  If that game is better than all those Castlevania's, plus *possibly* the DS & GBA ones, then I don't know why some of you even play the damn game anymore.

I was suppose to say something profound here. I don't 'do' profound so much as ramble so...whatever. Here lies text. Congratulations for reading it.  You were as bored as I am. Seriously, stop reading, you can't be that bored.  Still here? Really?  You officially are my new favorite person and now are owed one internet cookie. Don't eat it though, it gives you bad gas.

And here's this old discussion again. Yeah, well. Let them emo-kids play the old cvs und symphony of the night 'til the end of time. I like something new sometimes. And I personally think the gba- and ds-games are great.

Just because I kinda like this game better than som CVs doesn't mean I hate all the CVs in that list (I do hate Adventure and Haunted Castle though, but that's about it). Cause apart from the repetitive backgrounds, I sincerely like this type of games. I wasn't trying to bash CV.

I wasn't saying my comment directly towards you, that's why I added the *gba & ds* games, cause that part wasn't part of your comment.  I meant to/for those people that would have actually added those games along with your list, not just your list in general.

Slightly Off Topic: Kamirine, did you draw that avatar you have now or just make an avatar out of it?  It's prettiful if you did!
