SOTN is an artistic voyage into the world of Castlevania! |
| Louisa from St.Louis, Mo. USA says (28/Aug/2003): |
I couldn't belive how amazing this game was the first time I played it. First the music hits you,it's so dramatic,so romantic,very vampy. The music sets the mood for this absoloutly fabulous castlevania venture. I think you really feel the full intensity of every scene because of the sweet,haunting,sometimes scarry full scale melodies.
Then,the opening scene,what can I say,I was impressed,as I'm sure most people were. When you see the castle,& the huge moon,your eyes devouring every word running across the screen,you know you're in for a great game. Alucard,running through the forest-(ok,is it just me,or is Alucard sexy)-moving so fast he's passing up nocturnal birds & such,then he flies over the moat into the castle. It's just plain cool!
Once you actualy get to the game it's self there's so much to explore! No matter how many times I play it,I got it when it first came out mind you,it never gets old. I think this game has one of the highest replay values out there. The game is beautiful,down to every detail! The rooms & backgrounds are works of art,you almost feel that you could walk right into them.
I also love the enimies,they are so much fun to kill! They bleed,scream,explode,wither,& basicly try to take you with them! I like the fact that the baddies have real personality.
All of the details are really what I think make this game great! All the weaponry,speacialitems,secrets,familiars,speacial moves,npcs,the bosses,(the bosses are great, there's even one made up of tons of zombies,my fav!). The fact that you can actualy drink blood as a vampire in this game is really cool.When you sit down in this one room, you can put your feet up, & you can even go into the confession booth,& the spirit of a preist comes in to listen! I mean this is the stuff that I used to dream of in a game! I would recomend this game to anyone who enjoys a challenge,& can apreaciate the artistry,& care that was obviously put into is game! Keep makin' em like this one & I'll keep buyin' em!

The world came tumbeling down |
| Darius Enthalamine from .....Go away.... says (23/Jun/2004): |
Konami has long been one of the greatest game prodicers on the plante when it comes to graphics and gameplay, but I do believe this game alone rivals Squaresoft (Acclaimed Final Fantasy)! This game as superb fighting methods, classic enemies, and some of the best sub weapons (Aside from Lament of Innocence on PS2) in the series. I found of the best plusses in the game that you didn't play as a member of the "Melmont" family, which was getting pretty repetitive, and instead played as Alucard the Vampire. I believe Konami captured Alucard correctly (according to pages taken from his diary) in that he was silent, strong, and alltogether brilliant with a bleek outlook on life. You get my ten Konami, now go and make Squaresoft cry!
((Note: I love the Final Fantasy series and have no disses for Squaresoft, I'm just glad to see them getting a little competition in the Action RPG industry))

Best Game Ever! |
| Justine from Dever, Colorado, USA says (28/Jun/2003): |
When I first saw my friendz playing the game, I thought it was broing and lame, but when I played it, it was the best game I ever played in my whole life! I have to Castlevania series and I play it more than any other game I have. The graphics are fantastic, the ame is just a great game, and there is no doubt about it!

Castlevania SOTN is quite possibly the GREATEST 2D game ever made... |
| XYZ from Toronto, Canada says (17/Dec/2000): |
The Playstation edition of Castlevania is simply a flawless entry. First off, I should start by saying that I love 2D platform games. They remind me of the old great Nintendo days of the past. Yet nowadays it is really hard to find a good, in depth, fun game in this genre. Well, Castlevania goes well beyond keeping up the tradition, for it surpasses greatly almost every other game in the category. I'll admit that this review is a little dated. But when I was browsing through the list and saw that no one had done one, I knew that I had to do so. First off, Castlevania is visually beautiful even as a 2D game. From the bosses, the background to Alucard himself the game looks very, very good. Sometimes an escape from the 3D worlds can be so beneficial. The game flows smoothly and the loading is very minimal. The music is addictive and suits the game perfectly. However, where the game shines is that it is so much fun to play. You'll find yourself roaming the large castle without even realizing the time which has gone by. Include that with the fact that there are multiple endings, 2 castles and a host of other things to do, and the result is a special type of video game. In my opinion, this is truly one of the finest games to be created for the Sony Playstation. And I would easily put it on my top five list for the best psx games ever, a recommended buy for everyone.

Dracula X: by Esmelin gonzalez |
| Esmelin from USA, New York, Bronx says (16/Nov/2002): |
I think this game is one of the best game i played in my life.the first time that i played this game it took me 21hours and 23 minute. i was wonderring around when i did know what to do.i told friends that this game is very hard to be. one of them belive me because he was betting it.

Best game of the century!!!!!!!!!! |
| Clinton from Singapore,Singapore says (21/Apr/2003): |
What else is there to say except to play the game and feel the adreling rush of being a dark knight. Alucard is the coolest vampire to show that not all dark knight are evil. He has some of the coolest move and attacks ( though there is actually only 1 and that is his sword or weapons)
Overall i recommend this game to every1
Alucard rox & rulez!!!!!!!!1

the true master of all vampire games |
| Justin D Fries from Madison Wi USA says (21/Apr/2003): |
I'll be honest, I've played several castlevania games on other systems. BUT ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THEM CAN COMPARE WITHE S.O.T.N. IT'S TRUELY A MASTERPIECE. even if you don't like the genre of rpg type games this is the one you'll reget not playing. squaresoft has great titles but they can never beat the true master.

just the perfect game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| genaro from santo domingo,dominican republic says (7/Jun/2003): |
first of all,man,this game rulz,the first time i played the game i was like 8 years old,so i didnt pay that much attention but like 2 years later i remembered it and all i could think of was castlevania,i was an addict,now im 14 i finished thee game with205%,alll items spells endings,u can ask me anything,oh,and the music,the best ive ever heard on a video game,like ff7 music,but theres still something about the game that i dont know,playing as richter with the cheat when u get out of the castle u cant come back right?ok.theres like an underground cave under the bridge and i cant get in.

This gaem is excellent!!!! |
| Gfoo excellency from Salt Lake City UT says (12/Jul/2003): |
From the very first day i saw this gaem I loved it and I couldn't get enough of it! first of all, this gaem has lots of weapons and items(I still haven't found them all and ive beat it 16 times)second,the graphics are amazing for a playstation game. overall, this game is the greatest game i have ever played i still play it all the time!! ive also played every castlevania ever released in the US and all the ones on Gameboy but none of them even come close to SOTN.(Alucard is dracula backwards...hehe)

A rare gem worth keeping. |
| John from Sacramento, CA U.S. says (28/Jul/2003): |
This is probably the best Castlevania game (along with Arria of Sorrow for the gameboy advance) available right now. I'm still waiting for the next Castlevania game to come out for the PS2 in November. I hope it'll be better than the lame Nintendo 64 versions. With a new hero who uses swords, gloves, and rapiers rather than a whip, this is something worth looking into. There even a trick to play as Richter (but he sucks because of his low life bar, poor defense, and not having the ability to level up and collect new weapons like Alucard). Richter does have some cool moves though and he can use the sub-weapons a lot better than Alucard. My only complaint is that why is there no option to switch the language from American to Japanese with American subtitles? The Japanese voices were acted out perfectly but the American voices were done poorly. At least Konami won't make this mistake again in the upcoming Castlevania. Despite all this, go and buy this game. It's worth it since it is really cheap now.

Best out of all I've played. |
| Bunny from W. Richland,USA says (12/Nov/2003): |
I've only played 2Castlevanias. SOTN and Aria of Sorrow. Still working with the second. However Symphony is the best of the two. The characters are great. Plus the design of the whole game is perfect. I'm still trying to get all items (defeated game about 4 or 5 times). If anyone knows how to play as Maria please let me know, I heard that this can be done but I have not managed it yet.

you can get the crisagrim. |
| sword brothers from calirornia says (18/Dec/2003): |
You can get the crisagrim by deafeating the schoomo things.The crisagrim is so strong because it is soo fast and you can use it while you are walking you need a lot of patience to get it.name your character Richter when you defeat dracula you will be richter.I found this game very excitng.There is two endings when you finish the game with all relics you will have a good ending.does any body know where to get the sword brothers relic? Please if you know tell me. Can your player be Maria iif you know please tell me.

i love this game, GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| nightmare from Philippines says (8/Mar/2003): |
I really love, admire(like ALUCARD), addiqueted to this game. I really like to play this game. This game really gives me a creep. I really like a bloody game, specially this game. It's sounds and songs, like 'I am The Wind', I like this song, just like a melting heart inside my body. Even though it is really scary to play(if I play 'THIS' in the 'MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT') but still rock baby! I like Alucard, even if he is a vampire, he's amy type of a guy or a vampire, he's so cute!!!!!!!For the ladies out there, try to 'hunt' him. Even so much like Richter, I don't like him, 'cause his skill is different than Alucard(I know because his a Holy one.) It's graphics were great to, it is out of this world. The item were fantastic to, some of them can be used, some of it were useless, like the 'Trifying Sword'(a cursed sword), and the 'Rusty sword'. This is a game who loves 'BLOOD', this is perfect for you.

Best 2D I have ever played!!!!!! |
| Vesi Roy from Fort Worth, Texas says (24/Apr/2003): |
Well I have played many 2D games, and this game leaves all of them, every single one, eating it dust. Castlevania is the greatest 2D game out there. Compared to all the other Castlevania games this one rules over all of them. Castlevania Symphony of the night is the sequal to Castlevania Vampires kiss. You play as a half-Vampire half-Human man named Alucard. Dracula's son. Alucard can use many different weapons instead of just a whip like all the other castlevanias. This is a definatly a MUST BUY game. And I just heard about the sequal to Catlevania Symphony of the Night. Man I cant wait for that to come out.

The most indepth platformer to be created. |
| AlucarDraculA from Bristol, England says (26/May/2003): |
Firstly, I'd like to say that SOTN has one of the largest arrays of weapons and items. One of the main things I'd like to focus on in this review is the shere quality of some of the enemies, the bosses inparticular.
Anybody who has been in a fight with Galamoth for the first time with a lack of experience,health,abillities( like mist that can move) and weapons , will probably agree with me that he is somewhat the most impressive boss ever created.
His size, strength, speed. Even now, when i no longer consider him a threat, do i tremble at the thought of fighting Galamoth. The game is fantastic. There is nothing I dislike.
the inclusion of so many secrets only adds to the quality of this truly great game.

this game is the best game i ever played!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| A gamer says (27/May/2003): |
ive played castle vania from the beginning. i thought thatthe games were cool. but when i played this game it took the cake it was better than any game i have ever played for the playstation. the sound to this game is 10 out of 10. the music for this game is awsome. it is 2d not 3d but i think it is better than a 3d game. you get to turn into a bat, a wolf, and into mist. you get to learn how to transform and how to do spells. they stoped making this game so it hard to find this game.this game is fun. it also has very good background art. at the beginning of the game youre a man named belmont richard and you start as a vampire slayer, and you have to slay Alcards father who is a vampire. and when you beat him richard belmont goes missing for four years, and suddenly a castle appears and you then start out as alcaurd at the beginning of the castle. i think you should play this game because it is the best.

| D.j from USA says (11/Jul/2003): |
