Castlevania Chronicles

Why not Rondo of Blood???

After the incredible SOTN, the Playstation had a "new" Castlevania, and the choose was an obscure and not so good old Castlevania game for an only Japan Computer...
If they choosed to make a port of an old "unknown", at least for American/Europe, I think they would go much better with Rondo of Blood (Turbo Grafx). But like Rondo of Blood isnt the game, lets talk about the Castlevania Chronicle.
If you use to like the old school Castlevania you would like, but not love, this one.
The sound isnt good for a cd version, and the graphics are very outdated.
The gameplay is funny, but the control isnt perfect. And beside this the game is short.
If you "cant live without all Castlevanias", pick it, but for others this will be a disapointment.
