The second Castlevania game for GBA and quite possibly the best of the series.
Story:
Juste Belmont and his friend Maxim are going into a dark castle to find their friend Lydie. And as the story evolves Maxim is getting controlled by a dark lord and with this the story has some twists and is interesting. Of course is the story something that's not the biggest part of the Castlevania-series, but this one is good.
Gameplay:
Since Castlevania: Symphony of the Night the series has become a Metroid-like game. The gameplay is simple and brilliant at the same time: you walk through the castle, find items, beat enemies and bosses and get new abilities. Harmony of Dissonance has got a lot to offer that means you can find many many items. Unlike it's successor (Aria of Sorrow) you just got your whip which you can upgrade and is completely ok, and next to the whip extensions you can find armors, helmets, boots and cloves which make you stronger. You also get different spell books and each one got its own abilities, advantages and disadvantages (my favourite book is the wind book by the way). To keep your orientation you can use the map (which looks exactly like in Metroid) and it's always a great feeling when you discover something new on the map and get new things. The worst thing at Harmony of Dissonance is the difficulty. I hate to say this ( because it's pulling the rating down) but the game is not very difficult. There are some moments, especially when you get into new areas, where the enemies are challenging but they get easy fast and then there's nothing challenging anymore. Even the boss fights are easy.
Graphic/Areas:
The graphic is GBA-like good but the strength are the areas. The areas of the castle are truly different and each one looks special and they are just fantastic. From creepy (posted screenshot) to fantastic (posted screenshot) to fascinating there's everything.
Sound:
The game doesn't just have great areas but also a great sound. It's like in Super Metroid: the simple sound and the areas create a special atmosphere you don't have often in video games. The sound is just great!
Conclusion:
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is a great game! It has a perfect gameplay, fantastic and varied areas, a great sound and a lot to offer. A game that steals time and gives a lot of fun. You just have to play it!

I haven't heard of this castlevania game, but I've seen gameplay of it and it looks good, I might try it sometime. Good review btw.

pacman1755 : It's definitely worth playing. When you know the other Castlevania games and like them then you should play this one.
And thanks for your reply.

Well it is a pretty good game but has some pretty good music like the selection when u play the game.But i mostly like how they added spell books like the ice one and added new sub-weapons like the bible and others.
