 Not worth the money August 19, 2010
Terence N. Campo (New York, NY)
I really wanted this game, and I guess my expectations were higher than the quality of the game itself. The game play slow, choppy, and the character moves like he has cement shoes on. If it wasnt for the fact that SOTN was part of this Konami would never had made a dime.
A classic release January 24, 2010

I'd heard a lot about The Dracula X Chronicles. I'm glad this was released so I had a chance to play it. It's on the difficult side and extremely short.
The real heart of this package is unlocking SOTN (The father of modern Castlevania).
Great price for getting both games!
 Konami FAILED HARD on this one. =/ December 30, 2009

Really, this is a good Game, but the only real reason why I Bought it was for Castlevania Symphony of the Night, it was my most Favorite Game when I was Little and unfotunatly, I have Lost my Copy for the PS1. Now, I know from Reviews that they Changed the Voiceovers and such, but Seriously? They don't even Sound right, and they Changed all of the dioalogue! I'm honestly not going to buy another Castlevania Game unless it's the Original, because I Wasted $20 on a Game that I probably won't even Play now, thank god I Bought FFVII:Crysis Core when I bought this. =/
Pros: If you like Castlevania's that're Sidescrollers you're going to Like this game and it's Graphics are a bit Vamped. (No Pun intended.)
Cons: Castlevania Symphony of the Night was completely Changed, there's no reason for it, Konami can and should Shove it where the Sun doesn't Shine. =/

Yes, that was a vampire pun. Moving on...
I bought this game for $[...] at a Gamestop sale awhile back and finally got around to playing it recently what makes it worse is that I brought this game with me on a trip as my only source of entertainment; GOOD GRIEF!
The difficulty wasn't what really bothered me but the game IS extremely hard. I like a good challenge in my games but when the challenge comes from broken mechanics and utter BS it doesn't translate to an enjoyable game.
I tend to prefer the Metroidvania type games more than these. Playing through stages in this type of game just doesn't tickle my fancy quite like the castle exploration aspect of SotN.
I'd say the only actual reason for owning this game is to play SotN. I know this wasn't a great review but it's hard to explain exactly why it's so bad. It's just clunky, boring and difficult. It's frustrating; not fun.
Almost perfect. September 14, 2009

If you are looking for a special, one of a kind platformer, this game is a compilation of what Castlevania fans have been waiting for, and without the hefty price tag to actually own all of the games included!
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Akumajo Dracula X: Chi No Rondo, and a spectacular remake of Chi No Rondo all make this game a worthwhile purchase. Most folks in the US have been waiting for Chi No Rondo since the mid-90's when it was released for the Turbo Duo. Importing this to the US was a costly and timely manner, usually cumulatively costing $400 for both the game and Turbo Duo console, and the "system card". For many, though, the gameplay, soundtrack, and replay value were worth it.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is arguably the best platformer ever released for the Sony Playstation, and has been hard to find at times. The music, graphics, challenge, and replay value all make it a must-own.
This compilation is truly one of the best values you will ever find for a video game. The only reason it does not get 5 stars from me is that it does not include the Japanese Sega Saturn version of "Castlevania: Nocturne in the Moonlight", which is essentially Symphony of the Night, but with 2 bonus levels, character helpers, and music.
