Song Comments:
The list saw some confusion yesterday as the second theme from SotN, Wandering Ghosts, got blocked by Sony. I pulled this one down from a higher rank to see if it works, but apparently, Sony was too arrogant to include music from a Nintendo game on their Castlevania Music Collecion, so they don't seem to have any rights for the DoS soundtrack. It's fine with me - I initially overrated this tune, anyway, but there's another Castlevania tune much higher on this list that my heart is attached to.

Game Comments:
Incredibly well-made 2D action. The bosses in this game were especially fun - well, unless you BSed your way through the game with potions. Still, the game was satisfying enough to motivate me to not use potions... at least until I got past the bad ending. Afeter that, the game became a little to tough for its own good, and I had to use an FAQ to get past the bad ending to boot. Once I use an FAQ, my motivation to properly play a game pretty much evaporates, which is why I've refrained from doing it completely for the past few years now, with very, very few exceptions.
