Review: Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

Castlevania returns to its roots with Circle of the Moon, an epic 2D action/adventure game that should be one of the first picks for everyone?s Game Boy Advance library.

Drac?s back?thanks to the Game Boy Advance, and all?s well in the video game bloodsucker?s paradise known as Castlevania. The evil Count Dracula has been resurrected, and you, a member of the legendary, whip-wielding, vampire-hunting Belmont clan, are called into action to put him down for the?um, count. Circle closely resembles the PlayStation?s famed Symphony of the Night with a non-linear game structure, a host of power-ups, potent weapons, a gigantic piece of real estate, and play time that?s guaranteed to suck the life from the Energizer bunny. Set against a myriad of beautifully rendered 2D environments, the detailed visuals convey a feeling of dread, and although perceptive Castlevania fans will notice several music pieces have been lifted from previous ?Vania titles, they?re no less effective here. Game Boy Advance owners should stake out a copy of this game before the next full moon.
