5 out of 5 stars great game   May 31, 2008

nice game, but symphony of the night is the best part. you do have to unlock it but it is not too difficult. what is difficult is playing symphony of the night with maria she is so weak.

Finally a spruced up old-school castlevania. I fell in love with the series when i played the original gba title circle of the moon since then i have done my best to get as many as i could.

Originally i was more excited to have a portable Symphony of the Night and the remake of Rondo of blood was an added bonus. I have spent far more time with the remake of Rondo than anything else.

The backgrounds are simply put amazing and gorgeous. Yes this follows the linear castlevania formula with clunky controls no ability to change direction after a jump. But these are easy to get used to. unlocking maria as a playable character makes control issues less of a problem as she is far more menuverable.

As mentioned above this has an unlockable version of symphony which is a superb game to say the least. Also the original Rondo is included which make for some fun comparisons between old and new.

Bottomline This is a treasure in my video game collection. the Remake of Rondo is a must for any fans of old-school gaming. If you have only played the recent castlevania titles i would recommend trying to track down some other older titles that are cheaper just to see if you dig the style. Overall this is a great package the satisfies my hunger for linear and non-linear gameplay.



4 out of 5 stars Insanely difficult!!!!!!!!!   March 26, 2008

The re-mastered version of Rondo of Blood is one of the hardest Castlevania games I have ever played. It is not so much the enemies or the obstacles you have to overcome, it's the restrictions of the main character-Richter Belmont. Once you get to the third stage you can rescue Maria and use her as a playable character. She is much easier to control than Richter. You can also unlock Symphony of Night ("S.o.N") and the Original Rondo of Blood in subsequent stages. You can also use the old cheats for S.o.N which makes things interesting. The graphics are really incredible for the re-mastered Rondo of Blood, but it is really frustrating to get through the stages because of Richter's restrictions. If you are a fan of the series you won't be disappointed; just try not to break your PSP.

If you are buying this game to get Symphony of the Night then you will be happy with buying this game. The other two games in it are not worth the time or money. I even went as far to download a gamesave so I wouldn't have to burn time unlocking the game I actually wanted to play. I wish they'd come out with another Symphony of the Night sequel that actually followed the same format and had the role playing aspects and all the hidden items that Symphony of the Night has. Util then I keep buying these re-treads.

As for the PSP version of Symphony of the Night it is pretty spot on with the PS1 version and they don't take full avantage of the wide screen format on the PSP but at least give you some decorative bars on this sides and it isn't too annoying. I still would have preferred they just recreate Symphony of the Night to fit the PSP resolution and leave out the other games they tried to redo and include in this.



5 out of 5 stars Aside from III best yet!   February 4, 2008
Awesome graphics and kick butt monsters in this new Castlevaina collection. Amazing visuals, great combat and totally castlevaina style. Although Castlevaina III will always be the champ for me (I still play it) This is a close second.
