Good, but could have been better
User Rating: 8 | Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles PSP
Well lets' start off by saying what i've been say since day one. The whip should be used in full directional form like simon belmont was able to do in super castlevania. This would have made the game sooooooooooo much better. Making Richter able run wouldn't have hurted either. I understand this is a remake, so the little extras' like runing and better directional whippin action could had been a huge plus for this game. Like Double Dragon on Game boy advance, they could run, but it didnt hurt the game at all. The game is crazy difficult, and be sure to make sure you be alert when killing the bosses, because sometime they can make a last action that will kill you if your energy is low, trust me this can be very dissapointing to you, if you lose on your last live, since you will have to start the level all over from the begining.:( in a sense, its kool, it keep up the challege factor
Overall, even though this may sound like a lot, its not. The game is still visual and audially wonderful. I never heard music sound so good on the psp. The 2.5D is a huge plus. There's lots of unlockable content including the original Rondo and the most anticipated SoTN. If you is a hardcore fan like me, this will be a keeper, and for $30, its a steal
i give it a 8.0 rating because of the lack of moves given to ricther, to me this was a HUGE step back for this remake, but overall the is still worth buying
