If you are trying to get Symphony of the Night for a low price, buy this instead of looking for a used version of it on e-bay! IT'S FREAKIN FACTORY SEALED!

A PSone masterpiece from Konami
This is by far, one of the greatest, if not the best, Akumajo Dracula game (Castlevania) ever to hit a console. This version is almost exactly like the old versions, but with an added analog-stick controls, and some of the obvious glitches are removed. (Glitchers, fret not, it's still glitch-friendly) You play as Alucard, son of Lord Dracula, out to end his father's evil ambitions. Gameplay, music, graphics and replayability are all top-quality.

Awesome game! Get this!
I was fortunate to bump into this game this last week. I came to the conclusion that this is a treasure among a vast sea of video games. This is where Castlevania changed it's format. In short, it's Metroid - with swords! The music is perfect, ranging from classical to rock to techno. Alucard is a bad-ass sword-wielding hero. Graphics are very nice for the old PSX, although I enjoy 2D graphics anyway. This is a real video gaming experience to cherish.

Unfortunately I couldn't find this game earlier on Play-Asia, so I resorted to other methods of purchasing this game and it cost way too much. I found out that this title is being sold here today and for an extremely decent price. This is a true classic. Get it - before it's too late!

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Best game ever made in the history of mankind.
