Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Eternal Sonata (PS3 version, even if only for the gameplay and music)
Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors


I played Symphony of the Night wa~ay after it came out. In 2003, I think. Long enough that the general chatter around me and the industry press I read spoiled me on the biggest parts. That didn't stop me at all from enjoying it, but I know I missed on that initial magic that made the game so popular to begin with--but I still played through it at least a dozen times in the past 10 years.

The highest percentage I ever got for map completion was I think 90-97%. Full completion never really interested me. My goal for whenever I play is to get all the cool weapons I like and explore enough for Alucard to get at least 900 HP. Or round a bout that. I did one (1) play through as Richter and that was enough for me forever. He's so stiff and not really suited to all the bananas stuff the game throws at you. Still glad I experienced it. Maybe one day, in a far-off land with angels singing and world peace achieved I'll sit down and try an Axe Armor run.

I wish the final boss was tougher. I wish the game was a little harder overall, but it's really fine as-is. I wish the space between dying and restarting at your last save wasn't so long, as I usually find it quicker to just reset the system instead of waiting.

The Cross is my baby all the way, with either throw gem or holy water as my second. That wafer one is lame as fuck, but maybe it has a use I'm not aware of.

I give Castlevania Symphony of the Night an 8/10

I only played the demo of Eternal Sonata and while I did enjoy the gameplay, the demo alone was enough to point me to the soundtrack and I still go to it every now and then. I don't know much about the game and I know that before I admonished Sakuraba's music, the big Chopin influence on this one really helped it appeal to me more.

Speaking of graphics...this was a Namco-Bandai joint, right? I wonder why they stopped trying to 1:1 emulate anime like they were doing in this generation. Vesperia did a fairly good job at it as well. I dunno.

I also haven't played too much Eternal Sonata and can't really score it. Just like I haven't played 999 despite having a copy of it. I buy a lot of games I don't play, unfortunately. The perils of adulthood, I suppose.
