Castlevania Chronicles on PSN today

by Justin McElroy { Dec 18th 2008 at 2:46PM }

Just a year and a half or so after it was rated by the ESRB, we're finally seeing Castlevania Chronicles show up on the PSN today for the bargain price of $5.99. So, if you're in the mood for a distinctly different take on Castlevania (well, not that different), merry Christmas.

It may have gotten tepid reviews when it appeared on the PlayStation in 2001, but for six bucks it seems like a fine way to spend a December afternoon.

$5.99 is a superb deal considering original copies start at $30 on eBay.

This is good and all, but US PSN PSX support is seriously lacking... I have my credit card on standby just READY to give Sony my money! If they would just take 15 mins out of there day and toss Xenogears and MGS1 up on the US store, JPN PSN has it, so I know it can be done. PLEEEEEEEASE SONY!!!

"their"- use proper grammar.

* they're

The mere mention of Xenogears makes me drool. I would love nothing more than a digital copy of my favorite game of all time.

umm....hello??? @ Dec 18th 2008 3:22PM

* their

Skyelark is correct.
NOT they are (they're). c'mon.

I'll put my PSP to good use tonight. I love Castlevania games. I've never played this one before

I'm sold...Castlevania fanatic here, so that wasn't difficult...now if Sony will just go ahead and put all of the NES/GB/GBA/DS Castlevanias in a PSN Bundle, I'd pay almost any price...even my soul.

The only PS1 Castlevania game I've heard of is Symphony of the Night, and that's one of the best games I've ever played. I can't imagine this being better but I'll look it up

I still have the ps1 version. I guess it's now officially worthless ;)

The game isn't that great, but it's not bad at all for 5.99

acefondu @ Dec 18th 2008 3:12PM

And Skyelark is right it's "their" they're is a contraction for they are which if used in a sentence clearly doesn't work.

StingerVI @ Dec 18th 2008 3:19PM

I know that. I didn't even know what was going on. I just randomly commented with a form of there/they're/dare/their to be a part of the action

acefondu @ Dec 18th 2008 3:36PM

Heh, gotcha.

Different taste.....
Different taste?

WHAT DIFFERENT TASTE?!?!?!?

This is in the style of the original games!
People today....

I've been a diehard Castlevania fan since around 1989, still prefer the "oldschool" formula over the "Metroidvania" one and yet I still hate this game. If this ends up being the only taste of oldschool Castlevania that post-SotN players will ever see, then I would suspect they'd be re-affirmed in dismissing all of the previous games in the series.

As far as I'm concerned, this is only slightly less rotten than Haunted Castle and Castlevania Legends.
