	Castlevania Chronicles Review on PlayStation
		If you’re a long time fan of the series Castlevania Chronicles takes us back to the stage of the game when whip direction is basically determined solely by the direction you’re facing.
		All in all, Castlevania Chronicles, by Konami, is a must have for long time fans of the series.

	Castlevania_Lament
		Castlevania: Lament of Innocence is a prequel set before the events in all of the previous titles and traces the origins of the Belmont clan's never-ending battles against vampires.
		It's definitely one of the moodier Castlevania adventures to date, and the Castlevania spirit is evident throughout.
		Castlevania: Lament of Innocence is an excellent title that offers tight-controls, challenging opponents and beautiful aesthetics.

	PSGF - Castlevania Chronicles Review
		Castlevania Chronicles actually falls into that last category; however, it’s a re-release of a Castlevania title that never made it outside of Japan.
		Each stage is in the classic Castlevania mold, with plenty of gothic effects, moving platforms, death traps and whatnot.
		So while Castlevania Chronicles may be one of the worst 2D outings for the series (especially given the current state of technology at its release), it’s still a 2D Castlevania title.

	Static Gamer .:. Gaming, old school style (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Castlevania Chronicles brings one of two Castlevania games to never see release on these shores, in this case Akumajo Dracula, a Japanese X68000 PC game (similar to US Macs, Atari ST's & Amigas of the time thanks to the Motorola 68000 under the hood), to the US for the first time, via Sony's Playstation.
		Castlevania Chronicles, as a remake of the original Castlevania, effectively takes you back to where it all began, to that very first quest, deep into the bowels of Castle Dracula.
		Chronicles is a refreshing look back into a series that has evolved into something much more in recent years, and in looking back, you see just how far Konami has taken the concept, as well as realize, that Castlevania games age gracefully.

	Cheat Index - Castlevania Chronicles Playstation Review
		The storied Castlevania series looks to the past with Castlevania Chronicles, originally released almost a decade ago on the obscure Sharp X68000 Personal Computer.
		Castlevania Chronicles was originally released as Akumajo Dracula for the Sharp X68000, a relatively successful home system in Japan that never debuted on these shores.
		For gamers unfamiliar with the Castlevania series (both of you), here's how it works: Chronicles offers a taste of Dracula hunting in its purest form, without a trace of the RPG elements or narrative development found in later games.

	IGN: Castlevania Chronicles Review
		Castlevania Chronicles is a revised and updated version of a straightforward Castlevania platformer from the X68000 home-computer platform in Japan.
		Structurally, Chronicles is more or less the same as the original NES Castlevania -- i.e., the levels and bosses are familiar and arranged in about the same order.
		Simon's Quest some have mixed feelings about, but Dracula's Curse, Super Castlevania IV, and the appallingly fine Rondo of Blood on the PC-Engine are finer examples of the Castlevania concept, but they had the advantage of experience and greater technical resources behind them.

		However, since Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance for the Game Boy Advance, the Japanese games have officially adopted the western name for the series, although it should be noted the first Japanese title to recognize the "Castlevania" name was Castlevania Chronicles (yet it still retained the subtitle of "Akumajō Dracula X68000").

		Castlevania Chronicles is in the same league as Castlevania 1 and 3 on the NES, with the graphics and control of 3, but the progression and level designs reminiscent of the first game.
		There are lots more Castlevanias to port on over, including some weird Japanese games with Castlevania cameos and even an arcade game called Haunted Castle (and most of all, Dracula X Rondo of Blood, so people wouldn't have to pay through the nose for used copies of it anymore).
		Castlevania Chronicles is more of a footnote than a chapter in the history books.

	Castlevania Chronicles PSOne Review @ Gaming Target
		Castlevania Chronicles is pure old school, 2D, side scrolling Castlevania (Senor Old School says "the way it should be").
		Chronicles may not use the latest in technological achievements, but it certainly has a spooky atmosphere.
		However, there is still very little replay value in Castlevania Chronicles and in true nitpicking fashion there's even some slowdown as the game loads up new sections of the levels.

	Castlevania Chronicles (psx: 2001): Reviews
		If you started your Castlevania trip on the Super NES or PSX then this will be a bit of a history lesson, rather than a 'must-have' purchase.
		If your first encounter with Castlevania was "Symphony of the Night" or even some of the SNES games, you'll be disappointed by the dated graphics, static gameplay, and lack of replay value.
		Castlevania Chronicles will probably only appeal to fans of the series who can’t ever get enough.

	Castlevania Chronicles
		The cool thing about Castlevania Chronicles is that this game has never been released stateside in any form, appearing only on an obscure Japanese computer console, so this is doubly good news for both gamers and collectors.
		However, it most be noted that Castlevania Chronicles isn’t a straight port as Konami has placed a few extras to add value to the package and has even included some really exciting enhancements in the original.
		The usual cast of Castlevania enemies such as the zombies, the demonic heads and of course Dracula himself make appearances in this edition, and for the most part, the react and attack as they always have.

		Assumendo il suffisso Chronicles, e fregiandosi della denominazione occidentale della saga, Akoumajo Dracula X68000 riappare magicamente su Playstation in pieno 2001, mostrandosi finalmente alle masse quale perla videoludica importantissima nella lunga storia dei Castlevania.
		Castlevania Chronicles continuerà a entusiasmarci, anche dopo Nocturne In The Moonlight, in quanto delimitazione di un genere videoludico ansimante, che tende a scomparire ma che continua a suscitare interesse.
		Castlevania Chronicles è una "raccolta" non raccolta, un gioco "vecchio" visto con occhi di profano, una ri-esperienza non vissuta anni addietro, rivista nel presente e rimescolata per intromettersi fra la ragione estetica del 3D e la consapevolezza bidimensionale delle grandi leggende e dei grandi platform game.

		Castlevania Chronicles features the US debut of Akumajo Dracula, one of two Castlevania games that had never seen a stateside release (the other being the much lauded Dracula X: The Rondo of Blood).
		To say that the original version of Akumajo Dracula featured in Castlevania Chronicles is hard would qualify as a severe understatement.
		If nothing else, Castlevania Chronicles demonstrates that while rich, 3-D polygon worlds may be nice, there's still something to be said for great gameplay and 2-D sprites.
