    So, who else picked this up today?

    I did and I'm loving it. I spent most of the day playing it and got pretty far. I love all of the options you have with the different souls, and being able to upgrade your weapons with them too. Also, I think they did a great job with the touch screen stuff...it blends nicely into the gameplay.

    Definitely a must have title for the DS.

    I picked up this game yesterday.

    It's so short! But it was fun...

    I ended up going through it in about 8 hours straight, non stop. It was kinda sad that it was over, at least I can go back to "Lost in Blue" and finish that up...

    I went through it without a guide/online FAQs etc... and ended up getting 98% of the Castle completed(I know where the missing space is by looking at my map)... and 40% of the souls...

    Way too easy IMO... but it's a great addition to the Castlevania series...

    Next up, PS2 Castlevania!

    Yeah, I'm having a lot of fun with the game as well. Great game, a lot of fun like Aria of Sorrow, and some nice new options. I like all the extra stuff that you can do with the game from the main menu. Well worthy of the Castlevania name.

    I agree... the whole second screen interface made the game so much easier... I can fight/run around while looking at the map and checking out stats... also the whole doppleganger soul makes everything so much easier....

    Use the doll + the soul from the ape that throws the flaming barrells... that works too.

    You won't be disappointed! I'm very much enjoying Dawn of Sorrow. The graphics alone are reason to play. The animation and attention to detail is for all to gaze at. The pseudo three-dimensional "animated/moving" backdrops, when used, offer a surprising level of depth and scale. All round, the presentation is top-notch. Dracula himself would be proud.

    The music, too, is undeniably absorbing. The game freakishly combines a selection of eerie, addictive and funky sounds to create a stellar soundtrack. Everything feels spot-on, not least the sound effects. Once again, Dawn of Sorrow (as with Meteos) is a reminder that the DS' headphone socket isn’t simply there for the aesthetics.

    The gameplay feels familiar to previous 2D games in the series… to an extent. Personally, I would argue that it feels far fresher than reviewers give it credit for. Regardless, I am truly engrossed, and would class this as a real highlight in the legacy that is Castlevania.

    Another stunner for Nintendo's frontrunner! Play it.

    I got the game Wednesday, and unfortunately , due to college and work, I have had very little free time to play it. I am only around 4.5 hourse in, but I am having so much fun with it. I think that the boss fights (well, the 8 I have faced so far) are better than any of the other "metroidvania" games. And I love that you can collect each soul more than once to upgrade them, I just wish they woul appear more often. At an rate, It is definitely one of the best DS games yet.

    Yea, I got it the day of release. If you're gonna fly through it then yea, its gonna seem short. If you're gonna take your time and explore what all the game offers and collect the souls then its gonna have a ton of game play. So far my favorite soul are the mini devils, if you get 9 of them it turns into this little tiny succubus looking devil and owns. I love everything about this game except for one downfall, if you can even call it that, Hammer is a big wuss.

    Also is it just me, or do punching weapons always suck in Castlevania games. I've imbued my punching weapon untill its the best it can be, the Kaiser Knuckle. That weapon sucks, its not even close to easier to get weapons.

    Im a newbie to the GBA CV games, and I'm loving this one. I couldent imagine what it used to be like having to switch to the map all the time, the 2nd screen is so useful. I like the soul stuff, feels like pokemon kinda trying to catch all the souls. 3 star ones are a bit too rare though, but I guess that ads to the fun of getting them
