Pros Great graphics and music, great gameplay, true to the series
Cons Dismally dark scenes are hard to see on the GBA
Recommended it? Yes

The Castlevania series of video games has achieved great fame and virtually all long-time gamers would not hesitate to call it a classic. The Game Boy Advance title follows the tried and true Castlevania recipe, and it comes out as one of the best games in the series to date.

The Castlevania series lives on and keeps getting better...

Pros Great gameplay, new options like whip enhancements, and armor.
Cons Very dark. Don't expect to play unless you are under a nice light.
Recommended it? Yes

I just picked up Castlevania: Circle of the Moon for Gameboy Advanced and have logged in 6 hours straight of playing this game. It truly takes advantage of the GBA platform including better sound (no more midi sounds like in previous GB versions) and much better graphics. Below are all the good and... Read full review »

Castlevania: CotM or Dracula's looking to get his butt kicked, again.

Pros Excellant graphics, buffo sound, vampires, whips.
Cons Hmm.... makes poor salad seasoning.
Recommended it? Yes

You know, if I were Dracula, I think that I would take up a new career. I mean, he's terrible at this taking over the world thing. At first, it was just the Belmonts, so you could be like, "Well, he just kinda goes dumb when a Belmont is around, like he has a crush on them". Then his son got in on... Read full review »

Pros Fun, addictive, new upgrades
Cons could have had a better story
Recommended it? Yes

Introduction:
There have been many Castlevania games in the past on systems such as Gameboy, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and so forth. I have played a bit on some of those systems, but for some reason didn't seem fun to me. After playing this Castlevania for the Gameboy Advance, it was too hard... Read full review »

Excellent action game, lacking in depth, story.

byhobbes22 Jan 24, 2002
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Hours of gameplay, challenging enough to be fun, not so much as to be frustrating.
Cons Need a strong light source to see adequately.
Recommended it? Yes

To start with, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon will have you hunching over your GBA for hours on end. Between leveling, searching for equipment and DSS cards, and of course, progressing through the game, it will have you hooked. Story is a bit weak as there are really only 5 characters to deal...

The best GBA launch game? or not?

byxenonexus Aug 3, 2001
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good RPG elements, good depth (DSS), and great graphics and sound.
Cons Lackluster story and infrequent items. The graphics are detailed but dark.
Recommended it? Yes

When I bought my GBA, I had a pretty good choice of games. Their's Mario Advance, but I already had Mario 2 and they're the same thing. F-Zero is a classic but it just wasn't what I wanted. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, I had heard, was a great game and had several RPG elements. I bought... Read full review »

One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach...

Pros Beautiful colors, haunting soundtrack, flawless control, many hours of challenging...
Cons Character animation could be smoother, not a lot of innovation in character abilities.
Recommended it? Yes

Finally, 2D Castlevania returns to Nintendo, and what a magnificent return it is. In a somewhat-sequel to Symphony of the Night for the Playstation, you once again take on the role of a whip wielding vampire hunter out to destroy Dracula.

First of all, I have to get this out of the... Read full review »

Pros Great graphics, balanced difficulty, haunting music, hours of gameplay
Cons Haven't found any yet
Recommended it? Yes

When I heard that Konami was bringing Castlevania to the GBA, I immediately cringed. "What's he smokin?" You ask.
Well, if you've played the sadly disappointing and horribly executed installments on the N64, then you'll
understand what I mean.
After cringing, I jumped online to read... Read full review »

Best GBA Launch Title!

Pros Comparable to Playstation 2D Castlevania game, Very responsive controls
Cons Very dark, requires a very good source of light in order to see
Recommended it? Yes

The return of Konami's classic 2D franchise is comparable to the Playstation Castlevania game "Symphony of the Night". It has very responsive controls which allow for quick paced gameplay. The game is unbelievable and is the best game for those who miss the days of 2D gaming. Seeing the Gameboy... Read full review »

Pros good graphics for a handheld, classic 2-d gaming. Castlevania
Cons Overly Dark
Recommended it? Yes

It has been 4 years since the last Castlevania release that was worth playing. Castlevania Symphony of the Night was one of the best Playstation games, and is one of the best Castlevania games overall. Ignore the 3-d releases on other systems, that was the Castlevania to get. Now the newest... Read full review »

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

Gamers have been enjoying Castlevania's eerie storylines since 1987, and the latest version of Castlevania for Game Boy Advance is one of the very best in the series. Powered by Game Boy Advance's 32-bit color graphics, Circle of the Moon looks great and sounds even better. The haunting music tracks and awesome sound effects are some of the greatest audio treats we've ever heard on a portable system. Turn down the sound on this one and you'll be losing a great deal of the gloomy atmosphere which is crucial to the Castlevania experience. Circle of the Moon relies heavily on the platform-jumping skeleton- whipping formula which led to Castlevania's initial success, but Konami has created some new gameplay elements which add to its depth. Instead of simply working your way from point A to point B in Dracula's castle, you can choose your own route through branching passageways and corridors. The gameplay is mostly linear, but you'll definitely make a few wrong turns before figuring out where you're supposed to go next.
