Very nice Castlevania game

I got a x68000 emulator going and it wasn't working quite right so i came across this and thought i'd give it a shot. I managed to get through the first two areas on the x68000. The controls were much more squirelly, the music and sound wasn't synced right, the timing of the CPU Would jump and shift. Still, the game looked nice. I was quite pleased to see everything in the original mode of CC was looking proper and very close to the original ( i couldnt tell any difference despite having just played the first two areas) the sound was good and the timing was as it should be.
This game has a pretty cool intro (And ending) video. I actually played the 'new arranged' mode and really enjoyed the electronic/rave type soundtrack as it is really unique! i spent some time in classic mode just listening to the sound test. This really is a nice game in the sense it archives effectively a very old title that is a really good game and lets people experience it through the PSX (Something people actually have access to)
The game is fun, the difficulty isnt too bad (at least at first, i found the later areas fairly hard) this is worth playing if you like the Castlevania series and while it isnt a very long game its decent to experience. It's not the same as Castlevania on the NES but a lot of the same areas, maps and some of the bosses are pulled from this (but also Vampire Killer, though i haven't played that one...). If you really like the NES you really should play. The screen posted here is from an interview about the game, which is nice.
I am really looking forward to playing Symphony of the Night soon
