    I remember when I played Castlevania on the NES when I was just 5 years old. I was bubbling with excitement to finally try Castlevania 2. I also got Castlevania 3 and then 4 on the SNES. All classic games. And then, ... Read Full Review

    This is THE best 2D scroller game for the playstation 1 in the world. this game was the turning point for the castlevania series (I think) to make much more fun. The abilities you could use are the best from almost all t... Read Full Review

    A perfect gaming experience, except for the campy voice acting.

    By sieg6529 | Review Date: Mar 15, 2006 | PS

    This was the first Castlevania I had played since Dracula's Curse for the NES, so it is understandable that I nearly cried as I played. What can I say that hasn't been said already? Maybe I can wax eloquent on the way ... Read Full Review

    You've got to play this game to consider yourself a worthy gamer.

    By steff3121 | Review Date: Mar 13, 2006 | PS

    This is the best of the best (meaning the best of castlevania). You play as Alucard (really smart people know that this is "Darcula" spelled backwards) in his atempt to find Richter Belmont. His search leads him to his... Read Full Review

    "Masterpiece" this is the only word that can describe this title.

    For me Castlevania: SOTN was the first chapter of this fantastic saga that I have played(sorry for my poor English but I'm Italian...and i'm learning your language ^^...). It has been a shock for me...'cause I was hesit... Read Full Review
