Gamer Limit writes: "Perhaps the limited success of the TurboGrax-16 in America would have contributed to this, but I say that the lack of games, like Rondo of Blood, is what ultimately finished the system. Thanks to Sony, the long lost Castlevania has finally seen worldwide release. Castlevania: the Dracula X Chronicles is a remake of Rondo of Blood, along with extra bells and whistles. Utilizing 2.5D graphics and old school gameplay, this new version is a testament to the original, even if its age shows through."
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "We are now in the second half of our series of articles that pit an original game against its remake and for this entry we’re turning down the lights and putting on some spooky music as we take a look at one of gaming’s most spectacular franchises – specifically Castlevania: Rondo of Blood and it’s PSP remake, The Dracula X Chronicles. Now this is as interesting entry in this series has both of these games earned a dedicated cult following but aren’t often remembered among the franchise’s high-points like the ‘Sorrow’ saga and of course the classic Symphony of the Night so revisiting these ‘pretty good’ games is a pretty interesting prospect."
It's also worth noting that Dracula X Chronicles contains the original game too. I disagree with Game Sack about the 2.5D aesthetic of the remake as I don't mind it at all. I think both versions of this game are great though. I'm glad I scored a bargain bin copy of this game for $10 new several years ago.
