As a huge fan of this game's predecessor, Dawn of Sorrow was a fun and an enjoyable game, with a great story, characters, and gameplay to match. Or at least for the most part, there are many more annoyances such as enemy placement in certain areas that make little sense and how enemies hit you from every angle. Not to mention that once you defeat a boss, you have to use a stylus to draw lines called "Magic Seals" to truely beat the boss, you could understand the frustration when it comes to certain bosses that are annoying to beat and with little help items. This Magic Seal was responsible for a lot of unnecessary deaths during these boss fights. Not to mention that some magic seals work more than the others. Other than that giant hinderance, the game runs well and the sprite art is amazing. Kind of wished that they sticked with the Kojima art work like in the last game, but hey at least the characters are more expressive. The Music is as phenomenal as usual.
