IGN : “ The final product is what is clearly one of the best Castlevania games in the series, and an
absolutely top-notch, beautiful, and most importantly, fun DS game that doesn't try to push a lot of unnecessary
touch-screen gimmicks. “

Nintendo : “ I think this is one of the greatest DS games I've played all year. ”

Gamespot : “ The bottom line is: Whether you're familiar with the series or not, you can't go wrong with Dawn of Sorrow. “

Gamespy : “ Regardless, it is a must-have for all action fans, and kicks the ever-loving crap out of any other
action/platformer on the DS or (especially the) PSP. “
