<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Circle of the Moon was pretty good, I thought, if you have a GBA (the worst part was lighting). Harmony you just get lost in. Haven't played Aria, but I hear it rules</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Harmony was neat and closer to SotN, but short and easy. CotM is a damned hard game, but excellent gameplay (different coder team). (The card combo system is awesome.) Have not played Aria.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Nah, I'm only looking for one. You don't have a favorite? I'm leaning towards Aria of Sorrow, by Gentz's reccomendation and reviews I've read.</div>

Aria of Sorrow! Trust me.

<div style='font: 10pt "Stylus BT"; text-align: left; '>I own CotM and AoS and both are great games. AoS is the best of all three in my opinion although a few would make a case for CotM. AoS pretty much a GBA SotN (definitely the closest to SotN of the three) while CotM is whip style CV. AoS is somewhat on the easy side while CotM is much harder, but otherwise AoS is near god-like. I wouldn't get CotM if you don't have a SP or a screen light accessory.

Harmony is the worst of the three, but that says more about the other two than it does about HoD. HoD is still a pretty good game.</div>

Aria of Sorrow! Trust me.

Part 4 had some nice gameplay additions, but unfortuanately they made the game fairly easy. Personally speaking, I finished it the first time I sat down to play it, the only Castlevania game I had ever done that with. I like to put this one on par with Ko

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Its still a game that is definately worth buying even if it is a remake, but if you want the best Castlevania experience, look at Dracula's Curse. If you like Symphony of the Night then you will absolutely love Aria of Sorrow.</div>
