I tried doing something a little different this time by integrating a skit my brother and I had recorded into the start of the review. I hope it's okay. 

Additional notes: There are some things that I appreciate about this game that I think I understated in this review. While watching Nahoc's video, I noticed that there were areas I barely went to in the game and bosses I never fought. I appreciate that there are different ways to play through the game, like how Nahoc beats the last (non-secret) boss about halfway through. 

This replayability, which is boosted by all the collectables, is important for a GBA game. I think Aria of Sorrow has a sort of mindless addictive quality like WoW or games of that sort, which I don't think is an all bad thing, it just doesn't appeal to me at all.

Also, for more on Castlevania, I infinitely recommend Egoraptor's Sequelitis videos, though you've probably seen them already.
