With at least four known endings, Symphony’s already astounding replay value is entirely phenomenal.

The music is outstanding. It sets the mood perfectly for each scene and makes you feel like you are really in the game.

One of the best games available for the original PlayStation. With all of the new features available, Symphony of the Night is very different from the previous games in the Castlevania series, but it also stands out as one of the best.

This is exactly what I'm looking for in a 32-bit Castlevania game: great graphics and animation, plenty of way-cool Bosses and tight 2D gameplay.

The music is brilliant too - sometimes daunting, sometimes rousing and always doing what music should - enhancing the action.

Anyone even remotely interested in the world of 2D side-scrollers or the Castlevania series should pick this up – it's a must have.

Quite possibly the best 2D action side scroller ever.

It's tremendous fun and very addicting, despite the uninteresting plot and the bad acting. I only wish it were larger because I enjoyed it so much.
