IGN: "Quite possibly the best Castlevania, on any system, ever"

UG'nG along with Gradius, is my most wanted PSP game, but I gotta admit, I'm not wild about how it looks. I'd rather have a pure 2D game, like that other guy said. But, seriously, who's going to complain at this point. It's been over a decade since a real, new G'nG came out. Take what you can get. If Castlevania 2D is on DS, I can live with that. They were awesome on GBA, and they're awesome on DS.
 
Animation makes me go hmmmmmm... but I'm seeing attacks and stuff that impress me...

The 2 character thing is the best part - awesome!!!

And the backgrounds and deforming stages look cool...

Looks different enough from Dawn of Sorrow to warrant another Castlevania buy - THIS is why I bought a DS - for killer 2D games - JSS2 and Castlevania PoR make me a happy gamer!!!

Those two games almost make me forgive Nintendo for not just making the DS Lite THE DS period, especially since I bought it so early...

Did it?
What kind of sales are we lookin' at? I thought it bombed hard...
Selling over 100K is bombing now? Unless you mean in Japan only.
 
This is one of my most anticipated games of this year. Dawn was absolutely fantastic, I don't understand how anyone could level a complaint against it (besides the touch-screen stuff).

tell me again, which one looks better.

Are you.... are you saying this game looks good visually? Because those games certainly look better than this:

SOTN is just, one of those games, man. You know?

don't get me wrong, all the handhelds have been awesome games. I'm just tired of the media declaring each new entry "best ever" only to actually play them and think SOTN is still better.
