I want to say something snarky, but I'm too tired.

Another great post my friend!

Good post

Of the Castlevania games I played on the GBA this is my favorite, and the DS sequel is also very good. Not sure which of the two is the better game though (and I haven't yet played SotN so I can't compare).

A comment (minor complaint) when I read this:

The Belmont character is of course the secret unlockable character, ala Richter in Symphony of the Night and Maxim from Harmony of Dissonance.

The first two times I read it I thought that you were saying Maxim from HoD is a Belmont, particularly as Richter is a Belmont... The third time I read it I noticed the other way to read it where you are not implying this, but I think the way it is written is slightly misleading.

Snark away. I can take it! I... hope

ARRRRR.... A very good point! I guess I was too tired to notice it (I wrote it in several sessions after work). I'll clarify it later. Thanks for mentioning it.

ah, it was more I was going to make a "is this a review or not" joke. But yeah. Meh.

Great review and probably my favorite Castlevania.

This time, it is a review of the game with some retrospect and personal opinion, the difference from the last one, is this article is more coherent from the beginning to the end. And you do discuss more about what's in the game than who's behind the game.

Good Job!

Thanks! Next time I do a retrospective, I'll definitely label it as such.
