Rebirth isn't an attempt by Konami to expand what has become a very convoluted franchise. Instead it's an attempt to give the loyal, stalwart fans something they've been dreaming of for a very long time; a fresh, but thoroughly traditional, Castlevania adventure. Make that almost fresh, because as the title suggests, this Rebirth title is a remake of the original Gameboy title from 1989. After such a long time has passed, and having been given a visual tart up, the game certainly falls more into the category of freshly reanimated corpse, than stinky rotting cadaver."
