About Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
Castlevania is one of Nintendo's oldest and most popular series. Ever since the original Castlevania release for the NES in 1987, it's been a hit. Main characters and plots may have changed throughout the series but you can usually count on at least one constant; Dracula is causing trouble (even from beyond the grave) and there are plenty of undead for the hero to whip into shape. Castlevania games have always been sidescrolling in nature and this version is no exception. Even as there are fewer and fewer 2d sidecrollers Castlevania still delivers a great experience. This version features Soma (a returning character from the last game) who must fight a cult on their terms. The controls are great and it uses the touch screen well if rarely.
