I'm with the author on this one, the art style present in SoTN really made it stick with people in a way that the AoS/DoS/PoR doesn't. The music is always great as is the atmosphere but stylistically those fall short in my mind.

It's really bad quality, like Sailor Moon or something. Yeah, Harmony of Dissonance sucked for me because the music was bad, the graphics were lame (your character looked like a foppish nobleman) and the game was too easy. Aria of Sorrow is probably all-round the best hand-held Castlevania (although I have not played through the DS ones just yet) though the original Game Boy ones are excellent. However, Circle of the Moon (also for GBA) is by far more difficult than Aria of Sorrow. I actually didn't put the time in to beat that one, but my friend told me the final boss and ending is really awesome. I highly recommend Symphony of the Night for PSone, Circle of the Moon, Bloodlines for Genesis, and Castlevania IV on SNES. Lament of Innocence for PS2 is pretty decent too, but it's a 3-D platformer kinda like Devil May Cry, but a little darker and more serious.

Also, "Harmony of Dissonance" is pretty much the only Castlevania game I've played recently (I beat it!) and I enjoyed it...But I haven't really played any others other than the NES ones and "Aria of Sorrow," which is fucking difficult as shit!
