Any castlevania fan recodnizes 2003's GBA game, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. I for one loved it, it was one of my favs right next to castlevania: CotM.
If you guys liked it, then you get another chance to play it...on your phone!
Now i know what you are thinking: "Was konami's previous attempt to bring castlevania to mobile phones complete shit? Will this one be the same, watered down crap like the previous one?" Answer is, No O.O! This game is completely in-tact, the full Aria is here and it is awesome on the phone.

Story: Its 2035, and Soma Cruz was going to visit his friend, Mina Hyakuba until they get sucked into the lunar eclipse. Inside, lies the legendary castle of darkness, castlevania. In order to escape the castle in the eclipse, Soma must find out the origins of his dark powers and travel deeper into the bowels of castlevania.

I guess there are a couple types of phone that are actually decent for playing games but nobody has them and people who want serious gaming on the go end up buying a dedicated platform.  But I definitely agree with you and I've gotten a couple of ports that I was promised would control pretty smoothly (Mega Man 2, Sonic) and ended being a complete waste of my three dollars or whatever.

megaman 2, yes but i found sonic pretty smooth....

I don't get mobile gaming beyond like PONG or SPACE INVADERS or TETRIS. When the PSP does so much multimedia shit and costs, what $140 or whatever, why would you spend that much on a phone with a terrible game library? You could argue for the ALL IN ONE aspect of cell phones, but how often are you just CHILLIN with nothing to do and you decide to break out your phone to play some shitty handheld port? If you're going on a long trip and need plane/car entertainment, why not just use the real deal GBA or DS or PSP?

BASICALLY, how often do you have the TIME for playing an involved game like Aria of Sorrow on the go but also DON'T have access to a better handheld platform?

ok ill admit, 90% cell games blow in mi opinion, i think the other 10% goes to great moblie games like sonic or doom rpg. According to reviews, it fits into that 10%. What intrigues me is to how did konami fit the full game into 256 kb?! It is the full game, all areas and monsters are there and all those should have taken waaay more space o.o and its still a cool game, even with space in the kb's, which is rare

Dude what.  Aria is the best GBA Castlevania what are you talking about man!!  The lost boss isn't even that bad you're just a pussy.

agreed, chaos was a sick last boss, it was so fuckin cool ​, the worst dracula fight in CV history was in simons quest.....
I dont exactly count chaos as a dracula boss too much, more or less graham was more of a dracula-ish boss
I mean look,
First Form:
Looks similar to a dracula, just with a white suit :P
Final Form:
Looks like a dracula beast form to me :O

Chaos...:
...does not even look like a dracula beast form, its still badass!
Edit: In case some of you are wondering, the whole room IS chaos, not just the skeleton dragon :P

i dont remember chaos being very hard? what was his one hit kill attack?

its not that its one hit, most of his attacks just hurt a shitload and unless you have like over 700 hp then you could easily die in one hit
