Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles - PSP Game Review

Today we'll review a popular video game developed by Konami. This video game series is about a war between the vampire hunting family of the Belmonts and Dracula. Let's start.


Genra: Action

About This Game: The legendary action game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (the “lost” chapter never seen before outside of Japan) is reborn on the PSP system with incredible 3D graphics and timeless side scrolling gameplay in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. Gamers take up the Vampire Killer whip as Richter Belmont as they seek to destroy the maniacal Dracula once and for all in this pivotal piece of the ongoing Castlevania saga. Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles also includes unlockable versions of the original Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night games, delivering incredible gameplay and value while updating two of the most beloved video games of all time for a new generation of gamers.

Gameplay: 6/10 - This game has some major clipping issues can you say walk right thought a set of stairs or run thought a wall and this is by no means done on purpose.

Learning Curve : Insane difficulty - There are major control issues in pretty much every aspect of this game….all of which are very very frustrating at the best of times…

Graphics/Sound: 6/10 - Looks great…but sound is very bland and boring.

Lasting Appeal: 6.5/10 - If you can get past the first few bosses and levels and get to unlock the kewl extras…by all means..it is very kewl game then…if not…you are gonna drop this game like a sack of bricks or toss your PSP out the nearest window

The Whole Package: 6.5/10 - Great game in theory…that is it I love Castlevania…but control issues and the major difficulty to the point of being unbalanced and broken in almost every aspect….takes away from a clear cut Castlevania standereds

Over all rating 6.5/10 - This game looks great and has some really awesome extras..that is provided you don’t mind the insane number of tries to get past even the first part…..
