Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance

I haven't played this game yet (considering the fact that it comes out at a later date), but I already know that it's going to raise the bar on all action games. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon is the best action game on a handheld console to date with its seamless mix between action and RPG, flawless graphics and animations, and not to forget the wonderful music tracks. Nothing has come better, but now this new title can give a run for CotM's excellency. With more fluid animations, the new fusing system, and the old gameplay intact, this looks even better than Symphony of the Night (PSX). I mean, who wouldn't want to customize your own room with items from what you find within the castle? My only problem is the lame "back to 16 bits" music, with those bips and boops, and no fully orchestrated music. But if the game is as good as it is hyped up to be, you could forget the music and keep on playing.

The music...

When I first heard of this game it was the music that caught my attention. Some of it is supposedly composed by Mana from Malice Mizer (go check 'em out) So I thought AWESOME!! 'cause their music totally rocks. But then it turns out that the music is that ... electronic beep kind. Other than that the game looks great but the music... =(

Harmonius Sequel

Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance is possibly the best Castlevania game to date. The graphics and play control are improved, and the pure fun of the classic side-scroller all overwhelm the downgraded music. People who have played the previous Castlevania game for GBA will love this game, and retro gamers as well. Bottom line: PRE-ORDER THIS GAME NOW!

I got this game imported from Japan and it rocks. The American version isn't different except for the language as far as I know. Must buy!

Will be great

Let me start by saying that though I have not played it; I will be the first in line to buy Castlevainia Harmony of Dissonance. I own Circle of the Moon, I bought it about a year ago and I'm still discovering new areas and enemies. The graphics in HoD have taken a major step up from the CotM (which,in my opinion were already great, save the fact that it couldn't be played without a good, bright light source) Every aspect of the game has been improved (save the sound) including the length. I heartily recommend it to anyone who loves GBA and games for it. 5 stars. Order it now.

Yes, it is Symphony of the night Part II but. it is TOO EASY

I've played castlevania games since the first one for Nintendo, this title is the continuation of Castlevania 2 (the one where you played as Simon Belmon), the game have the following pros and cons.

Pro:

Good Graphics.
Good Sound.
Good gameplay.

Cons:

It is too easy, there are 2 castles ( A - B ) and I've played the game for just 2 days ( 2 hours each ) and i have 180% of the maps

There aren't enought new things, just a new sub-weapon, but there is not like Symphony of the night where you did get a lot of weapons and new style, some magic spells were taking from older Castlevania title.

If you played symphony of the night and circle of the moon, this title will be really easy for you...

Symphony no MATCH for Harmony

I am a Castlevania Hardcore expert and all I have to say is that this is the BEST Castlevania ever made from KONAMY since the company starting to release the tiltes on 1985. WAY TO GO KONAMY!!!. Play it, and get ready for some real demon ... wooping.

Castlevania in Transylvania?

Well well well. Konami dropped us a gem. Don't get me wrong, CoTM was hella better but the graphics are better and brighter (THANK GOD). I think that the layout of Circle should have been in this game and Nathan should have been the main char. But, i love this game.

I love any rpg or rpg related game but castlevania's been my fourth favorite series with final fantasy in first, suikoden in second, and skies of arcadia in third. The castlevania games are great and I've played Circle of the moon and Symphony of the night also. This castlevania is just as good as the others and just as hard. I suggest the caslevania games if you like rpgs and/or 2d side scrollers.

A GREAT ADDITION TO THE SERIES

Well, I seem to be the odd one because I prefer "Circle of the Moon" to this game, But it still a great game. It's not very hard though(which is why I prefer CotM).If it takes you more than a week to beat it, then you're not really trying.But I love it.
