Nintendo DS Game Review

A new Castlevania has arrived and its available once again for the Nintendo DS. This one takes you closer into our time period, taken place in during World War II. Our hero is not a Belmont but a relative of the Belmont who has the rights to wield the Vampire Killer Whip but only when needed.
The game keeps the same format as all other Castlevania's post Symphony of the Nights. It uses the large castle map and weapon system that Castlevania fans have come to love. What different in this game is that Dracula's castle is now filled with portraits in which acts as portals to other worlds opening up different areas to play. So you are no longer trapped in that castle. You maybe traveling to the desert fighting mummies, or to a completely messed up circus complete with a 360-degree fun house.
Overall the game plays like any other Castlevania games, you'll either love it or you hate it. What makes this one different from the others is the ability to play 2 characters simultaneously. You play as Jonathan and Charlotte; Jonathan is the weapon user while Charlotte is the Magic user. Pair them together you can do powerful attacks. Of course with the ability to use two characters at the same time, means new puzzles to solve that involve controlling them.
Castlevania is just good old fun, it is old school 2-D but it shows how 2-D can still be fun and entertaining after all these years!
