I'm using this in a review I made of this game on a French site here: http://www.geekmodeblog.com/2009/10/castlevania-symphony-of-night-ps1.html#complet This is also the first video in a longplay requested by ArcadeHero48. Even though it says Final Stage, this is how the game begins in order to recreate the last battle in its prequel, so it's impossible to lose, but the stats of another character named Alucard depend on your performance in this battle. This is a PS1 classic game (which gained critics and fans' acclaim, unlike the Sega Saturn version in which there are strangely additional areas) that everyone should give a try. Is it strange that I played the prequel, Akumajō Dracula X Chi no Rondo, in its original form (PC Engine CD-ROM², which is a Japanese exclusive)? Of course, nowadays both games are available in America in an updated collection for the PSP called Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (Symphony of the Night is unlocked by finding a secret in Stage 3). Both games are great and the one featured here is sometimes called the best game in the Castlevania series, which is quite an accomplishment. If you don't know the Castlevania series, you're missing a lot. Some recent games might not feel the same as the older ones, but the series still features some of the greatest titles ever where you play as a vampire hunter who must make his way to Dracula's castle and vanquish the legendary vampire. The gameplay is your standard jumping around and fighting enemies with your whip (or whatever weapon each character uses). They added lots of attack combinations not present in past games, such as an air dash and an uppercut for Richter you'll see another character in the next videos which can acquire a ton of power-ups. There are also subweapons that can be collected in the stages, you need to spend the hearts you collected to use them or perform a special attack related to them as Richter can do (heart is not health in these games). Finally, a little bit like in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest for the NES, there are RPG elements in this game, such as stats and the gain of experience, also weapons, armors and stuff. So, be prepared for one hell of a ride in a game that proved 2D gaming's excellence (with nice old school graphics, effects and very great music thanks to the CD format like its prequel) in an era where 3D slowly began to dominate video games everywhere. Don't forget, if you have requests like for another video game I should consider for a similar treatment as this one, just ask here or on my channel or even by sending me a personal message and if I can make it, there are good chances that I will... eventually! You can always see the current list of games already requested so as to avoid doing the same request twice (don't worry if you do) or to see why it might take some time for me to complete your request: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FoYbyzJ3CMYK8zi6ORh6EbZxqPZtO1S2ojoSM7k__g8/edit Note that the list is in no strict order, especially since most of these were simple suggestions made with no sense of urgency. So don't be intimidated by the list, don't be shy to ask me to do a game like this, even though you might see a lot of games already on the list.
