Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for PlayStation 1

Pros: Great music, depth, variety of levels, enemies, unbelievable amount of secrets
Cons: Kind of easy, sort of cheesy voice acting

Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night is hands-down the best PlayStation game ever. Maybe best game ever period. I don't care if it is 2D and there isn't any polygons or whatever, it's in the gameplay that counts and it delivers in bunches and...

Pros: Very dark and detailed graphics, excellent sound tracks, and RPG-like game play.
Cons: Maria isn't playable, I guess.

With all the hype and attention going to other Playstation titles like your Tomb Raiders, Resident Evils, Crash Bandicoots and even your Final Fantasies, people may overlook one of the Playstation's best games ever made; Konami's legendary ...

Pros: You get to be a half-vampire, with all the cool powers!
Cons: Good luck finding it

Alright, I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for good vampire lore. Among my favorite books are Dracula (go figure) and Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot. My favorite character in literature is Lestat, the charismatic vampire rock star who stars in Anne...

Pros: see below
Cons: see above

Konami's CastleVania series has long been known for its consistent quality. Beginning on the NES, the series has evolved considerably in the fifteen-plus years since its inception. While core gameplay has remained the same, new magic and experience ...

Pros: Everything: graphics, music, gameplay, atmosphere, and everything else
Cons: The voice acting isn't very good

In the Castlevania series, Symphony of the Night is probably the most revolutionary part. Konami has chucked a lot of old aspects of the series overboard, while stuffing in dozens of new aspects. But you won’t hear me complain – I believe...

Pros: good graphics, some great game play if a bit easy
Cons: a bit on the gory side, like I said to easy.

All right I have been a major Castlevania fan since I was but a wee lad and picked up Castlevania 3. I have own several Castlevania games in my collection and like every one of them (yes including the N64 one). So when I heard that this was the best...

Pros: Ingenius old school gameplay, beautiful graphics, incredible music, an lengthy quest
Cons: The voice acting, my copy is scratched

Symphony Of The Night is without a doubt, the most respected entry in the long-running franchise that got its start on the old NES in the late 80's. And for good reason. This is simply a beautiful gem of a game. I had previously played Castlevania ...

Pros: nice story, excellent soundtrack, inverted castle
Cons: voice-overs are terrible

Intro: Castlevania that one word alone should ring a bell to many gamers. This new and improved installation to the series proves mighty worthy of carrying the Castlevania name. Castlevania Symphony of the Night clearly demonstrates that ...

Pros: hand drawn, 2D side scroller!
Cons: no complaints here.

No Castlevania to date comes close to the experience you'll have playing this one. There is more depth and feeling than in any previous installment, and the atmosphere is very convincing. For example, it's storming outside and you see a creature(or an...

Pros: Neat 2D graphics, awesome music, lots of atmosphere, interesting gameplay mechanics
Cons: Cheesy voice acting (of course!), there may never be another game quite like it.

Konami had some real guts releasing a game like this to the public. After all, 3D gaming was pretty much dominating the spotlight at the time. And everybody thought 2D sidescrollers were pretty much dead. That is... everyone except Konami. The company...

Pros: gorgeous 2d backgrounds, special effects, and sound
Cons: awkward spell motions, metroid style, inferior music, no old themes,stiff as a board enemies

Castlevania represents all that is good in the video game industry. If there was ever one series of games the made a person proud to be a gamer, it has to be the CV series. Konomi knew what they were doing when to created the very unknown but still...

Pros: Wonderful hand-drawn visuals, ambient music, killer old-school gameplay
Cons: May not be noticed by superficial gamers

There was a time when I was wowed by the beauty of Super Mario 64's 3D world of fun, when I liked the new look in Final Fantasy 7, when the Quake and Unreal series dizzied my eyes with dazzling engines.

But in the end, there's nothing like...

Pros: Excellent gameplay, soundtrack, multiple endings, pretty much everything!
Cons: No playable Belmont (without cheat), way you need to use items is annoying

I would just like to start out by mentioning that this is one of the BEST Playstation games ever made! This game is just so cool, I can't really get over it. I've had it since it was first released a few years ago and I still play it!

The...

Pros: superb fusion of platform jumper with RPG and action-adventure
Cons: not always evident which direction will add to the adventure, some secrets are a little too secret

After reading a few reviews of this game here, I decided to dig it out, since I had never finished it back in the period when I was acquiring several new games every week. I remembered it was a great deal of fun, but just how much fun really...

Pros: Excellent Sound,Graphics,Gameplay,Story,and Replay Value
Cons: A couple of the spells are hard to pull off and it's almost impossible to get the 206%

This is by far my most favorite game on any system. It beats out Soul Reaver and Metal Gear Solid hands down. Now where to begin the many many praises of this game? Well lets start with the story.

THE STORY: You are ALUCARD (Thats...
