This is a FANTASTIC game! The only reason i didn't give it a 10, is because of how dark it is. Because of the GBA's screen...it's hard to see.
Castlevania: Circle of the moon stands out as one of the great castlevania. Many have compared it to symphony of the night, but in actuallity, it has very little to do with it. The main hero uses a whip, uses cards to cast magic spells, and the boss fights are ALOT harder in this one.
Besides the "darkness", the graphics in Circle of the moon are top notch. They're richly detailed, and for the stuff you can see, fairly colorful.
This is one of the GBA greats. Not as good as Harmony of dissonance, but still a great game. YOU BUY NOW!
