A remake well done.
The remake stays faitful to the original pretty much in every aspect with the difficulty slightly reduced at a few parts and more depth added to the characters and the story.
As for SotN, the biggest enhancements are two familiar creatures and a playable Maria which were only available in the japanese version of the game on Playstation and Sega Saturn. The english script has been re-written and the dialogue has been recorded with new actors, which didn't even do a very good job except with Richter and Ferryman.
The game could be considered difficult by today's standards, but all the enemies fight in patterns so once you master the enemy's movements Chronicles and Rondo will be a cakewalk.
I highly recommend this to all the other hardcore Caslevania fans and to those who never got the chance to play Symphony of the Night.
