What could possibly be said that hasn't already. Excellent.

User Rating: 9.8 | Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku (PSOne Books) PS
In the first real update to the series (Dracula X was ok, but the story is the same) Castlevania: SOTN destroys any hopes that this series would ever die. Because of this game we have many more, some of them are good, (Castlevania: Curse of Darkness) others, not so good? (Castlevania 64) This game was the first game I played on the Playstation, and is the main reason I one one today. The game was long enough to keep you busy, and exciting enough for you not to get bored by dull repetition. If you don't own this game, go now, don't stop, get this game, and close yourself in your room for a good 10 hours straight playing it. No bathroom, no food, just play. You won't be disappointed.
