Having finished the previous two Castlevania GBA games, I was excited to get to grips with this one, often considered the best of the three. Both aesthetically and aurally, it's way better than the previous two. Especially that dogs dinner of a soundtrack on Harmony of Dissonance.

Yet I felt it didn't quite hit the mark of the tight level design and gameplay of Circle of the Moon. That being said, this was an absolutely fantastic game, and one that left me wanting more after I'd finished the final boss.

I know I've still got a few rooms I've missed out on, and I'll probably go back at some point, but for now I'm gonna leave it at that, especially with a new Metroid on the horizon, and the added bonus of Vampire's Kiss/Dracula X to play as well. All in all, the Castlevania Advance Collection is an absolute must have. One of this year's best releases, and what are now my favourite games in the series.
