Full Version: Castlevania X Chronicles
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
The Good:
+ Classic Castlevania (Pure nostalgia)
+ Remake of Rondo of Blood - Never before released in the US
+ Symphony of the Night bundled into it as an unlockable
+ ORIGINAL Rondo of Blood also unlockable (should you dislike the 2.5D approach)

The Bad:
- Classic Castlevania (No evolution here)
- Ham-Fisted voice acting (somehow makes it feel more classic)

There really isn't anything truly bad about this package. It's one of the few PSP games out there that really plays like a handheld game should! Quick, fun, stop and go whenever you please.

...and for once, we get a true castlevania. Not metroid-vania or even the current incarnations on the DS where you get superpowers. No, Richter Belmont is a TANK. A tank that can do backflips.

I'll mention that Symphony of the Night has some new voice acting and additional content (Maria playable, and I think more familiars like the Saturn version had) and is paced well if you're stuck on a bus or plane and know you won't be going anywhere for a while.
I've always enjoyed castlevania games and it sounds like this one is pretty solid. Isn't this one suppose to be very hard also?
im considering getting this but my only castlevania experience is simons quest and super castlevania. is this anything similar? i have SOTN on xbla and i dont really like it
Oh God I use to love playing Simon's Quest. I'd suggest you got to IGN.com and check out the game and read up on it's review to get a better idea of what Castlevania X Chronicals is all about.
There really isn't much else to say other than it's Castlevania.
ign didnt give it a great review, but they did hype the SOTN unlockable
IGN can go sodomize a Transylvanian goat.
