Alright, like alot of people, I was skeptical about how well Symphony would be ported to the 360. Turns out, excellently. The intro is completely intact, along with the weapons/items in the castle keep. The controls are spot-on(which is no surprise, seeing as how Digital Eclipse handled the porting), and everything else seems fine. I'll keep this updated as I progress, and try not to spoil anything.

I've reached the library, and the Master Librarian still sounds like a crazy old man. It seemed a little harder to get there than before, but then again, I haven't played this game in quite some time.

You're welcome. Now, I've tested the graphical update, and it's cool. It's not true HD, it just blurs the textures, and gives them a very "oil-painted" look. I've made it to the Royal Chapel(?), and am up to lvl. 17. Also, for anyone wondering, the castle map is assigned to the left trigger, and the "back" button(select) is used to bring up the status screen, and the start button is used to bring up the XBLA version-specific menu. It takes a little getting used to, but it serves it's purpose.

*UPDATE*

I have reached lvl. 42, killed 2,592 enemies, visited 1,545 rooms of the castle, recieved 132,370 exp., and made 232,564 GOLD pieces. All this in 8:10:08(hrs:min:sec). Am I doing well? No, seriously, I have no idea how good that is. If anyone else would like to compare, by all means, do so.

Chang: I don't really have a way to upload vids, but I'll see if I can get a hold of a digital camera ;)

Skullz: You should definitely get PoR. It's pretty sweet.

Oh, I beat the game yesterday as Alucard, and I'm working on getting the $500,000 item from the librarian.

well, its a pretty faithful port. on my TV (pretty small) the emulation fills the screen, but on my moms 38 inche HDTV, it has like artwork around the emulation. Havin fun with it, trying to fit it in between my crackdown and GEoW sessions. ;)

 Yeah, i may get PoR then. Probably before my holiday so i have summin to do on the plane. (the flight is like the entire day.)

Yeah, the coffin is classic. And about the border, it doesn't change, per se, though the foggy clouds are constantly changing and flowing to the left. It's pretty sweet.

Alright. I've got the pics on my digicam, all I need now is my USB cable. Once I find that, I'll upload them to my photobucket account, and post an address(chang, you might need to turn it into a link for me ;) ). And then you guys can judge for yourselves how good I actually am. 8)

I almost bought a new cable last night, but my budget's real tight at the moment. I'm talkin' Top Ramen, $10.00 game budget, that sort of thing.
