I just have to say that even though I have no fucking clue what I'm doing most of the time, this is the greatest DS game I've played. I bring it with me everywhere. I play it at lunch, I play it at work.

I'm buying it again when the state-side one comes out, I like it that much. Everyone should buy this game!
 
I will heed your advice good sir and buy this game when it comes out. It better be as awesome as you say it is.....or else (shakes fist) :)
 
I was planning to already :P

You won't be. Symphony of the Night was one of my top 5 playstation games. This is giving me the same kind of fun as that title did, its really great. Animation is smooth, the boses have been cool. I have no idea whats going on in the story (other than what I'm making up in my head...which is FUCKING SWEET -- go go Pimp Daddy Sora).
 
It was an excellent game and looked fantastic. It's my second favorite "Metroid-vania" at this point, with my only real complaint being the soundtrack (which isn't bad...but is often rather dull).
 
Forgive me for my lack of knowledge but whe does this game come out in the states. And doestn this game just make you think of the possibilities of a metroid on the Ds?

Early October, I believe.

I wouldn't say this game makes a case for the DS features themselves, though, as the touch screen elements were occasionally a bit annoying. Not bad, but nothing special. The star of the show was the game itself.

Yeah from all the videos I've watched the soundtrack doesn't get me as excited as other Castlevania games. Plus it's competing with SOTN music by default and well, that game has the best music I've ever heard in any game.

Day 1 purchase for me. Haven't done that since Digital Devil Saga.

LOL, that's so Hard Mode. You would never have that angel soul or that many hit points by the time you reach that boss otherwise.

Dawn of Sorrow is the best DS game.
 
Its so awesome I'm buying it twice!! If you own a DS this is a MUST BUY.

If you don't buy this game God will STRIKE YOU DOWN WITH GAME-CANCER (note: game-cancer may or may not actually exist)

If you don't buy this game God will STRIKE YOU DOWN WITH EA OF THE SOUL

Your soul becomes shrilved and starts promoting other souls infected with EA. The disease has an incubation period of around 10 months (or whenever the movie is due to come out)
 
This game is incredible. I actually think the music is pretty good, but there's a few bland tracks in there.

It really is helped by having two screens though. I used to have to stop and check the map screen so often, and now you can have your map and play the game too.

Oh, so you never played Super Castlevania IV or Lament of Innocence? Pity. Great games, those are.

How does it look on the bottom screen? Playing AW:DS and other GBA games, the top screen makes them look better, and the bottom screen makes some things hard to make out. It's something that I've worried about ever since I first saw it.

Honeslty it looks pretty amazing to me, everyone else who's played in my office has proclaimed its PURE FUCING SEX status. THe Animation is fluid and boner worthy. Bust this into your DS and make sure you have not ONE but TWO towels.

Oh my god. Deja vu. I distinctly remember coming into a thread EXACTLY like this several weeks ago. And reading a message exactly like yours, with the same avatar and everything.

For some reason, it's not an issue with this game. It's strange because on other DS games it definitely seems to be an issue, but for some reason this one looks great. Maybe it's just because there's usually so much movement going on? I'm not sure why.
