Metareview - Castlevania Double Pack (GBA)

By Blake Snow

Konami's Castlevania Double Pack for the GBA features legendary titles Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow combined into one cartridge. Here's what the critics are saying:

  • GameDaily 90% – "Now we have another definitive Castlevania release, combining two of the best adventures ever produced on one cartridge. It would've been nice to see some new areas or items added, but, as is, you'll still find lots of action and exploring that carries forth the license with greatness."
  • Maxim Online 70% – "Take this Castlevania collection, which pairs Harmony of Dissonance (in which you fight vampires with your trusty whip) with Aria of Sorrow (in which you are a vampire with a trusty sword). While these side-scrolling action games are still addictive and challenging, it's hard to get nostalgic over games with release dates from 2002 and 2003,
    respectively."

Which of the two included games do you favor?
