Just finished beating Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Aside for the fact that this is a Castlevania game, there was one lil' thing that made me want to play this game, that thing being that Shanoa, the main character, is voiced by Michelle Ruff, my favourite voice actress. I was disappointed, though, that no dialogue is actually voiced. Oh, she'll grunt or say stuff like 'Yah!' or yell 'Flames!' or something, but never real lines. From what I understand, in fact, none of the Castlevania DS games are fully voiced. That's a shame...
Anyway, the game is still really cool. It's a cool breath of fresh air to finally have a girl main protagonist, as where it's pretty much always been male main protagonists, in the past (Richter Belmont, Simon Belmont, Travis Belmont, John Morris, Juste Belmont, Leon Belmont, Desmond Belmont and so on) I know of Sonia Belmont, from Castlevania Legends, but that was a GB game, making it pretty much physically impossible to develop a personnality for her (And Castlevania Legends sucks, anyway) Shanoa is very different from the other male protags, of course, because she lost all her feelings, thanks to a spell cast by the game's "antagonist" Albus (I use the term antagonist very loosely because it's made very obvious from the beginning of the game that Albus isn't such a bad guy) But, even with all her emotions gone, she remains kind and generous, which is good.
The Glyph system is kinda cool and offers something different than the usual Whip + Random Weapon, though I feel they could have let us play around a little more with those. The game is also very easily breakable. There are several parts, in the game, where you can make an
insane amount of money in a matter of minutes and others where you can just max out your experience
while sleeping.
I was disappointed by the final boss, though (Which is Dracula, of course) I was hopping he would have some sort of demonic second form, but all he does is just kinda walk towards Shanoa and sometimes bites her.
Great game, anyway

I also love the New Game + option, which lets you start a new game with almost all the glyphs you had!
