Wow. I was so happy I played this game. It just reminded me of Symphony of the Night for the Playstation. The main character Soma was just like Alucard in a way. The things that make this game kinda better than SOTN is that Soma can collect enemy souls as when you equip them to you, they all do something different like attack, steal hp or mp, make you more resistant to attacks and so on. Some of the places in the castle were almost similar to SOTN also. Some of the enemys were just the same as in past games also.
The story was pretty cool. Soma winds up in the eclipse and is in Dracula's castle. He meets a couple of people that either help him or figure out somethings wrong with him. At the end, Soma has dracula in him and has to try and release that power out of him.
I loved this game and now im playing it on hard mode because more items turn up that you couldnt get in normal mode. Also the boss rush mode is really cool. My bro did it so fast - 2 min 38 sec. I recommend you go out to buy this game for your GBA or SP.
