Read original review"If you’re at all a fan of Metroidvanias and haven’t played most of these games, there’s no reason to wait. Not every game here is perfect, but they’re all at least good. Circle of the Moon provides the best mix …"

"A Collection that includes some of the most representative and entertaining 2D episodes of the entire saga. Let&s;s hope that Konami will soon put in the hands of M2 the chapters for Nintendo DS."
Read original review"Castlevania Advance Collection really showcases a side of Konami we don’t see very often anymore. On one hand, they trot out old franchises with low-effort projects and try to essentially trick people into buying them. On the other, they are …"

"Four games of proven quality. Three Castlevania metroidvania and the vilifying -unfairly- Super Nintendo&s;s Dracula X. The games are worth a lot, but the way to collect them is less lavish. A fair compilation, with the problems of entering the …"

"Castlevania Advance Collection shows that Konami&s;s efforts are praiseworthy mainly due to the original material&s;s quality. However, a simple re-release feels outdated and somewhat disrespectful to fans."
