5.0 out of 5 stars A classic gets its long-awaited released in the US
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2007

[This review is from one of my sons.] Back in 1997 when 'Castlevania: Symphony of the Night' was released, I was instantly enthralled with the series, and I've been wanting more ever since. The game I wanted the very most, however, was the original game with Richter. I once had a test-play on Dracula X at a PlaySource store, but it wasn't long before I learned that the said title was a pathetic redo of an awesome legendary PC game only released in Japan. I was severely disappointed that this awesome title would never rest in my hands. Fortunately, 9 months ago I received word of the PSP port and remake and instantly decided that I would be getting a PSP just for this.

After finally playing the Remake, the Original Rondo and Symphony again, I realize that this game is a complete steal - $30 for two (three, if you count the Remake and Original as separate) legendary games on a handheld. The Super Nintedo game "Dracula X" is not included, but Rondo of Blood is much better anyway. You have to unlock the original games, but you will so happy to play the Remake and look around for its secrets this shouldn't take long. You even can unlock "Akumajyo Dracula Peke", a silly Easter egg that originally played on the original PC game when said PC was imcompatible with the disc.

About the Remake: the game is really fun, and has great graphics, almost like a 2D game with a Lament of Innocence look. After playing the Original Rondo all the way through, I realized this Remake is not exactly the same - there are some various changes throughout, such as having to find all the maidens before being able to rescue Annette, and having to fight the Hydra on level 5'. If you save all the maidens, you also have to Dracula in a third form, much harder than the first two (which you can almost easily beat without a scratch). There are also various puzzles to find various record discs which you can use to Assign Music to different stages. Said music includes music from all three games. It can be quite funny to fight Dracula with the Long Library's (from SotN) music!

The Original Rondo was somewhat more fun to play for me; for some reason I have a taste for old school games, even the remake is awesome. The graphics in this game are great too, considering it was made 14 years ago. While no doubt still being challenging, it is a bit easier than some of the older titles, such as the very first Castlevania. The Item Crash also gives you an edge, as does the backflip(which actually works better than it does in SotN) against enemies, especially against a large horde attacking all at once. After playing through all the stages, alternative stages and all, you can see why they called this the Holy Grail of the old school games.

Symphony of the Night is something most CV gamers probably already have, but for some reason playing it on a handheld makes it more convenient and fun. This game is not exactly the same as the PS version, as there are new familiars from the Saturn Japan Only version, as well a fight with Maria and being able to play her once you beat the game but, sadly, the missing levels were not added. If they were going to add so much Saturn additions, why not include all of the addition features? Still, the additions to the classic game are interesting, even though I would have liked to have seen the two extra levels as well.

As I have said before, this game is a steal. It is cheaper than most other PSP games and, in my opinion, is the best PSP game on the market currently. A lost (and awesome, and vital) chapter in the Castlevania series is finally here in the US, so if you want a thrill and a bundle of fun for weeks (and years of replaying), look no further. You're looking at a bundle of the two best games of both generations of Castlevania gaming.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great gothic horror adventure
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015

The Dracula X Chronicles is a "remastered re-release" of the '90s Castlevania game "Rondo of Blood" (which prior to this version had not be released outside of Japan). Included as unlockable bonus content are the original version of "Rondo of Blood", and the direct sequel to "Rondo of Blood", "Symphony of the Night" (originally released on the Playstation and Sega Saturn).

At first glance the game seems like an old-fashioned linear side-scroller; however most levels have multiple paths, and you are encouraged to explore every path of the game to find all of the hidden items and get the best ending. Furthermore, an easily accessible stage select feature allows you to revisit and explore previously defeated levels without restarting the game. All together, these features produce a rather unique game-play experience.

This game is also notable as one of the handful of Castlevania games in which you have the option of playing as a girl (although you must rescue Maria as Richter before you can play as her).

The graphics and music of the Dracula X Chronicles have been totally overhauled from that of Rondo of Blood, and now look and sound like something you might find on the PS2 (as opposed to Rondo of Blood, which look and sound like something for the SNES or Genesis). Some of the puzzles have also been made a little harder, there are a couple of new bosses, and there are more hidden items to find. Otherwise, however the two versions play almost exactly the same.

As for "Symphony of the Night", it is an entirely different game from Rondo of Blood, with a different main character, and a rather different game-play style. It is one of the first to adopt the "Metroidvania" style (the first if you don't count Castlevania II for the NES); in it Dracula's castle is like a maze you must explore, sometimes backtracking to an old area in order to use a new item or ability to access a new area (as in the Metroid series, and the GBA and DS Castlevania games).

Note that the version of Symphony included here is a new translation based on the Japanese Playstation version, and as such has a new English script, new voice acting, and a number of other differences from the US Playstation version.

"Rondo of Blood" and "Syphmony of the Night" are considered by many fans to be among the best of the Castlevania series, so any fans of the Castlevania series or gothic-fantasy-horror in general who have a PSP ought to consider checking the Dracula X Chronicles out if they haven't already.

For your money you get a remake of Rondo of Blood, the original Rondo of Blood, and Symphony of the Night with an additional character not in the PS1 version! My only complaint is that you have to unlock the other games, but aside from that it's an excellent package.

Classic CastleVania remade. The graphics where out of date when this was new, however, it controls well, plays nice, and having both Dracula X games is really nice. However, SotN has a little bit of text change.
