the best side scrolling platformers ever? will any game beat the depth, gameplay and sheer scope of the playstation classic "symphony of the night"? I'm too broke to afford a nintendo ds, and thus can't get "dawn of sorrow", has anyone played it, if it's half as good as ANY of the GBA ones then it has to be worth buying a ds for. I was playing the old megadrive "castlevania - bloodlines" and I noticed a lot of the s.o.t.n. soundtrack done in much earlier z80 (midi esque) form, SPREAD THE LOVE do yourself a favour, play a castlevania game today. |

I don't know, Mega Man gives it a run for side scroller. But..... the latest installment of Castlevania for PS2 is really, really good too! |

I've only heard bad things about it, (but then they're probably comparing to every other castlevania game out, talk about tough competition eh?) |

I found Super Marioland for the GAmeboy the other day and haven't played it in years - completed in about 30 minutes, but died on level 4-2 second time around, Grr. |

God bless Castlevania. I love Symphony, Aria of Sorrow, Harmony of Dissonance, Circle of the Moon, even Lament of Innocence, but for my money, none of them are as legendary as the old CVs. Mostly because the older ones really had... FANGS, lol. Hard fucking nuts to crack. If you can beat CV1 and CV3, you're an elite gamer. The new ones are fun and satisfying but they're cakewalks. I think CV has the best musical tradition of any video game series and CV4 is one of my favorite collections of music ever, video game or otherwise. Really realistic samples and interesting compositions, borderline avant-garde, none of that cheesy heavy metal and dance tunes from Symphony and Rondo of Blood. Bloodlines' music had awesome style too. |

perhaps bloodlines had the same composer as s.o.t.n? I'll have to download this and play it immediately now! :D was this the sega genesis game? |

Yeah, Michiru Yamane did the soundtracks for both Symphony and Bloodlines. She is the most elite female. |
