A great start the GBA legacy. COTM is very reminesent of symphony of the night for the playstation , which is a very good thing. Level progression is like metroid , where you have a pre-determined path but you can go off the beaten path to explore if you want. Great graphics , classic gameplay , lots of items to collect for your arsenal and the DSS card power system is pretty creative but can frustrating to figure out what each power acutally does. The only downsides are that the brightness level is really low (bust out the lamps) and the DSS and item collection aspects can be ratheer annoying at times , otherwise a great addition to the Castlevania series and a fantasic addition to your GBA library
