"Posted on July 4th, 2012: I used to be unable to pick up magazines and comics unless I started with issue #1, so I had no qualms getting the short-lived Nintendo Power Advance's first issue in anticipation of Nintendo's next handheld system.

I got stuck and never went back...And after roughly 7 1/2 hours of non-stop gameplay, I've finally beaten the game from beginning to end. This is a fantastic Castlevania entry, and the first game in the series to attempt to re-create the magic of Symphony of the Night. While Aria of Sorrow eventually tops this one, this is still a great game to play through if you never have before. Highly reco"
