was it because of the story?

i thought the controls were dodgey, the graphics were sub-par, and his whip seemed lifeless to me.

I enjoyed playing it, but his spells in that couldn't compare to absorbing souls/abilities in aria of sorrow

yea, the second time i fjucked up that seal drawing, I wasn't a fan of it

I like both Circle of the Moon and Super Castlevania IV. In fact I thing Castlevania IV finally made good use of the whip by being able to whip in any direction. I think Simon's Quest is the worst one.

i actually like Super Castlevania IV. When I said "after Super Castlevania IV" i was referring to the chronological order, if that makes any sense

No. I dont' care about video game stories heh.

I thought the controls were just fine after you got the ability to run, which was very soon into the game.

I didn't have any problem with the graphics. I don't really care about graphics as long as they don't hinder gameplay. I thought it looks very nice on a DS Lite.

There was more challenge and I thought the game play was the best of the bunch.

Ooh, I got it now.

That's it, I finally did it. I went and got me own black DS Lite. Now I can join the little family.

I had a question for the people who sent their DS Lite off for repair. I'm sending mine in for the crack hinge and 3 stuck pixels. Does Nintendo usually repair the DS or do they give you a refurbished DS? Also, do they have a pretty good turn around? I just started paying Hotel Dusk and was just starting to get into it.

Getting a little long... feel free to start a new thread.
