Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
So yeah, this game is really Really awesome. It is like; if they took Dawn of Sorrow, give more flashy attacks, a much better story, American voice acting, and actual cool Villains. This game might be the best thing next to downloadable porn Castlevania Aria of Sorrow. The game is a little stale in that they keep on repeating the same map/exploration "Metroidvania" style of game; not a bad thing, but it has been the theme for six games now. It also incorporates "mini-dungeons" through the castle that take the form of "portraits" you enter.
Overall, this game is pretty cool. I dare say it almost makes for Castlevania: Vaudevillian of Chair Fetish Curse of Darkness. Konami will not be forgiven so easily though, if they put out another great Castlevania game in the near future that I greatly enjoy, I might overlook the folly of that game.
Edit: I've also noticed this game seems to drain battery power at a accelerated rate than most DS games.
