Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

Jampacked with Castlevania Goodness

Strengths: 2 versions of Rondo of Blood and 1 version of Castlevania included

Weakness: None, because you don't have to pay an obscene amount for Rondo anymore

Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles is a action side-scrolling game for the Sony PSP. You play as Richter Belmont in Rondo and Alucard in Symphony of the Night. Rondo follows Richter's adventure in rescuing his girlfriend from Dracula. All the games included in this pack are sidescrolling beat'em up games where you bash all baddies with either a whip in Rondo or many various weapons ranging from...

This is what Castlevania is all about

Strengths: Gorgeous remake of a classic Castlevania that never saw a wide release. Original Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night games are unlockables.

Weakness: Gameplay may seem tired to some.

Rondo of Blood was one of those great Castlevania games that was never released outside of Japan. Instead we got a sub-par port called Dracula X for the SNES that lacked music quality, levels, and gameplay and story elements of the original. Twelve years of waiting and Konami has finally delivered. The Dracula X Chronicles is a beautiful remake of Rondo of Blood. The graphics are outstanding to...

Finally! The game that made Castlevania series...

Strengths: An excellent remake of original Rondo of Blood and two bonus!

Weakness: A very small graphical glitch at times and slow attack button response bug.

If you don't have an intention of dish out over 100 bux for Dracula X Rondo of Blood for PC Engine, this is very good alternative! It is remake of Rondo of Blood but if you'd rather play the original, unaltered version, it is also included. All you have to do is find this certain item while playing the remake. Each level is kind of too short compare to another excellent addition to Castlevania...

Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)

Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles is a great remake of Japan-only release in the series, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.

Castlevania Old school

Strengths: great music, characters, animation

Weakness: n/a

This is a great game altogether. More like an old school Castlevania than the newer GBA and DS iterations (Metroidvania style). Animations are fluid and game runs great. Also, the addition of Castlevania: Symphony of the night is spectacular.

New Packaging, Same Product

Strengths: Great value, great games.

Weakness: Challenging.

Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is a fantastic addition to the PSP's library. Not only is the highly-regarded Symphony of the Night included as a bonus, but a remake of another top-notch Castlevania game, Rondo of Blood, is the main course. Both games hold up well despite their age, as Symphony represents the new Metroidvania style of Castlevania games, while Rondo/Dracula X represents the...

Finally crossing the pacific

Strengths: Previously unavaliable (in english) Castlevania game, new and improved Symphony of the Night.

Weakness: Old school.

Rondo of Blood was a japanese-only version of castlevania that has finally now been ported to the PSP in english. The upside is clear. No longer do you have to pay a fortune and buy an old import copy of the game. The downside is that it's obvious a bit dated. There are actually two versions avaliable on the PSP, an updated version of it where there are updated graphics and voice acting, or the...
