    absolutely jaw gratingly hideous. worth it for SoTN, but my god they dropped the ball on this one. Gameplay amongst the worst I've ever encountered, it's like they ramped up the difficulty by giving your hero advanced arthritis.

    As a reinvented version of a 16-bit game, this looks quite nice on the PSP's sharp display, but it plays like nobody's greased the machinery since its original 1993 release. [Oct 2007, p.127]

    Given the obscurity of the original PC engine origins and all the extras that play to true fans, Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles is an esoteric gem. [Oct 2007, p.92]

    Classic "Rondo" alone would be a great budget title for virgin Western audiences; adding a remake and "Symphony" turns this into a no-brainer. [Nov 2007, p.120]
