hi

Just thought I'd let people who didn't know already that gamespot have a special feature on the history of the game series and revews, cheats and stuff for the stuff.

http://gamespot.com/gamespot/features/video/history_castlevania/index.html
for the link.

Enjoy!

just like to say that castlevania on the GBA is sooo kool- probably the best lanch game for GBA
fans of castlevania: SOTN and peeps who loved the Metriod games will love it

[Prine]

Ok I will now order it. I never thought about getting Castlevania (Tony Hawks is brilliant), but all the reviews have gave it a excellent score. I am going to order it today.

[Sturae]

castlevania aint for everyone..its quite a deep game and can be lost on less hardcore gamers...im sure a lot of peeps would get bored with it quite early

[Seabass]

casual gamers looking for a quick fix will most likely not like it

[Chow]

So what's the GBA version like? I heard it was similar to SOTN on the PS. If that is the case I will buy one very soon!

[Prine]

Hi Chow, where have you been??


Nice to hear from ya

[Chow]

Just been busy with work, watching Buffy and Angel and had some family stuff to take of.
But I am back now :)

[Seabass]

castlevania on GBA is very similar to SOTN (which is a good thing)

not to start a flame war but pffffffft (insert mild insult)

anyway just to tell u guys that the castlevania bosses can be unforgivingly (but forgivingly) hard (just wait till u get to the thrid and fifth boss)

[Sturae]

welcome back chow m8...
icq me:)
ull love castlevania for GBA m8..it owns big time:P

[Chow]

Ok thanks for the views :)
Is there alot of text in the game?
I don't know whether to but the US or Jap Version now.

[Seabass]

there is quite a bit of text- most of it is only plot wise and dosen't reveal any clues- but when u get a new item- like the dash boots it will usally tell u what it does and how to activate it- and if u can't read japanese well ur screwed.

oh...the card system rules

[Chow]

I suppose I can always get the FAQ.

I think I am going to go for the US version of Tony Hawks 2 and US version of Castlevania.

[Seabass]

though u probably know this already i saw a translating FAQ in gamefaqs

[Sega GameSation X]

Chow, you'll love the game itself.

I find it a cross between the SNES CVs and Symphony of the Night, makes for a good mix if you ask me!

The animation is probably the least polished part of the entire game, but when ur whipin hundreds of Zombies, Skeletons, Worms and Bats you don't care.

Can't wait to see the next GBA ones...they're almost gauranteed given the success of this one.

[Seabass]

okay guess what- my castlevania save has been wiped out! i have to bloody start again- (this calls for action replay)

[Chow]

Nice one :)
Should get my Jap Gba soon
I am paying £60 for it plus shipping :) heh heh

Then off to the US to get some games :)

[Sturae]

chow u ©unto!!!!
i wanna go to us:(

[Chow]

My Castlevania is coming!!!! A few more days!!!!!

[JackG2]

God, I wish I had a Gameboy advanced now. :{
And too bad they cancelled that Castlevania game for the DC all that time ago. That made me very sad. Now I just sit at home playing Castlevania 64 and I dream.

[Sturae]

..and realise that castlevania 64 is a disgrace to the whole franchise!

[JackG2]

That may be so, but I happened to enjoy Castlevania 64, thank you very much. :P

[Sturae]

Its about as enjoyable as warm beer:P

[Sega GameSation X]

CV64 was a good game in it's own right...just...how the hell was THAT CastleVania?

I can't wait for Chronicles on PSX! back to the old skool style! This RPG stuff makes it alot more complex than it was...that ain't a bad thing...but I just miss the old straight forward style of the original ones on NES an SNES.
