Seeing as this is the only Castlevania game for the PSP it had to be purchased from a long time fan of the series. Believe me as an 20-year veteran gamer, you won't regret it. If you are a fan of side-scrolling games and own a PSP, you owe it to yourself to buy this as your next PSP title. Rondo of Blood is much more difficult, and requires more practice at beating the faster enemies and traps.

Starring Richter Belmont, this game is as beautiful as Symphony of the Night, but more on a linear 2D experience. Originally released for the Japanese PC Engine's SuperCD add-on, this version is remastered and remade. Not only is Symphony of the Night hands-down the best Castlevania ever produced, but it is of the highest quality 2D games ever produced.Īlso included in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is Rondo of Blood. The styles are even quite varied with some heavy metal and electronica mixed in as well. It seems as if most of the score was wri tten in the Renaissance era of Europe. The monsters are complex, the stage areas are lush, and the equipment effects are very unique. The animation in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is also some of the best 2D animation ever conceived. Using these methods as introduced in Castlevania 2, Konami was able to create a more realistic Castlevania experience by using height ratios to castle areas. Not only are the 2D Castlevania games the best style for the series, but the two games contained on this disc are the best in the series.Ĭastlevania: Symphony of the Night takes side scrolling to a whole new level by utilizing free range mode and vertical scrolling. If one considers thyself any kind of Castlevania fan at all, one *must* own this title!
