Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower

Vampire is always under-appreciated but now the spotlight is on as it's the launch title for PSP. The new mode is fun and provide a great package overall.

Don't get me wrong, as a port of Vampire Savior 2 to the PSP, this game really works out. It's really nice to be able to play rounds of Savior 2 on the go. However, where is falls flat is in the excecution of the DS1 and NW modes. Simply put, with substituted moves and a few innacuracies, it's simply not up to games like Hyper Street Fighter 2. The Tower Mode is somewhat fun, if you're looking for a neat gallery full of surprises. So let me summarise: If you like Darkstalkers 3 and want it in portable form, get this one. However, if you want the power of all of the Darkstalkers games, get the Darkstalkers Collection for the PS2 instead.

I only played the game once and it was my first Vampire Hunter\'s game, but I didn\'t really enjoy it. My friend had it as well and traded it in and he has actually played other VH/DarkStalkers games before.

The game looks pretty, but the controls aren\'t the best. Even things like jumping at an angle aren\'t always executed when you press up and forward on the D pad.

I couldn\'t figure out any specials other than the five-versions-of-you-attack-back-to-back-while-glowing one. I doubt I\'ll ever pick it up again.

But hey, I\'m a guilty gear fan, so maybe I\'m a little biased.

Since you can not get Tekken 5 for your PSP (at least for now), this game is the next best thing! Excellent graphics.
