Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - soul stealing for sunpath

Yet another game franchise I had never played at all is Castlevania, and this was a good one to start with.

I sucked at the bosses in the beginning and had to get help on the first one, but I think I'm at least 30% of the way done with the game now and have been charging along (until other stuff came up to distract me).

The collection mechanic with the souls makes it much more interesting to run around and kill all these enemies, level up, buy new weapons, etc. The art is awesome, the sound and music immersive. I didn't even mind the touch screen "trace a seal before you can kill the boss" part, as it wasn't that hard for me. It's getting to the part where you're allowed to do the seal, that's hard for me.
I still don't have the Bat Company soul so I can't fly around, so there must be a lot more of this game left. I resist the strategy guide. I resist!
