Well what a game to kick off this blog with, i've been waiting years to play this game but due to the previous high price and my own personal dislike of using emulation it looked like i'd be waiting for years more....
However, The hidden port included in the PSP remake last year "Dracula X Chronicles" has brought the price down significantly and i was able to pick up a mint copy for a decent price.
The game itself is fantastic and is fast cementing itself as my favourite traditional Castlevania title, everything about it just reeks quality from the tight controls to the fantastic music and graphics!
The substantial difference from the previous Castlevania games in my opinion is the unlockable character Maria, unlocked in the first couple of stages Maria controls vastly different to the various Belmonts - agile and not like a tank, in my eyes she lays the template for what would become the Alucard character in the follow up Symphony Of The Night
This is a game that needs to be played if you have ANY interest in the Castlevania series so don't leave it as long as i did.
