Worth the price of the Castlevania Advance Collection alone. I had a fantastic time playing through this. I couldn't put it down. My favourite game in the series so far.

There's something magic about those GBA sprites, and although the environments are somewhat basic compared to the later versions, I thought they were great, with the backgrounds and scrolling really adding to it. The way the game opens up with each new ability is great, and the lack of sign posting and hand holding adds an extra degree of challenge.

Excellent game and I am dead keen to crack on with the rest of the Castlevania Advance Collection.
