I recently got Dracula x chronicles for psp, my first castlevania game which includes both Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the night. While Rondo of blood has the best soundtrack i've heard on my psp i still have not gotten past level 4,seriously why does it have a lives system?
SoTN on the other hand feels so completely unlike Rondo, its metroidvania and while it could use more story its quite good. Even if the difficulty vanishes near the end. It is alot easier than Rondo and actually has save points near bosses. Also the maria mode is alot of fun but it feels like it was a bit rushed.
So we have too different games, one overly difficult action game and one easy but fun metroidvania game. I like the latter more than the former, looks like i have some old gameboy games to track down.
