| * diplo: It's too digestible --- too lite. There's no savoring, and little to no reason to savor. The whole game seems to have been built for the most manageable consumption possible. It just hits me the wrong way deep inside. More than any other //Castlevania// I've played it feels like the gaming equivalent of a Reader's Digest magazine: an aesthetically barren shuttle through easy-going vacuity. I don't mind Aria's pacing because the level design is almost without fail better, in terms of large-scale layout and micro-detail, than Portrait's, as are the sectors' themes and expressions. To me, //Portrait// has the most unimaginative and ugliest castle of [[company:kcet|KCET]]'s [[genre:metroidvania|Metrovanias]]. I almost prefer //Circle of the Moon//'s. Soma is also less smooth in his movement compared to //Portrait//'s duo, which I think makes for more friction in navigation and fights. I guess you could say that my critique of the pacing is not the fastness itself, but the context of that fastness in the atmosphere and structure of the surrounding world. | * diplo: It's too digestible --- too lite.

| + | * Ni Go Zero Ichi: It has the best soundtrack out of the three DS titles (handled by Yuzo Koshiro rather than Igavania regular Michiru Yamane) and the worst everything else. | ||
