Now if I'm not a fan of Castlevania, will this game change my perspective on the series or should I just save myself 40 bones?
i don't think it's that expensive...but yeah, even for a none castlevania fan you should still find it entertaining as it's a good, solid rpg. it's also extremely addicting
other good ds games (this is just my opinion take it for what you want):
Metriod Prime: Hunters (fps)
Mario 64 DS (if you liked Mario 64)
Mario Kart DS (A must-have multiplayer game)
WarioWare: Touched (you won't think this game is fun till you play it for like 15 minutes. then watch what happens)
Animal Crossing: Wild World (if your into that kinda game)
Trace Memory (if you like puzzle games)
