I was inspired to play this game after watching the Castlevania anime on Netflix. Now I'm pretty sure I'll be a fan for life!

It's been awhile since I played this one. Still as amazing as when I first explored the castle. Could possibly be the best Castlevania ever.

Played on PSP until I got the "bad ending" then stopped playing.

My main problem with this game is the lack of challenge.

I just finished SOTN. It's a great game but shorter than I would've thought. For example, I also played Traps and Gemstones on iOS and this game didn't seem to be much longer (if at all).

This game has exceeded all of my expectations. It's a real masterpiece, no wonder it receives so much praise. I thought I had almost finished it, but it looks like I've only just scratched the surface!
