An expanded game of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
The PlayStation Portable port of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was included as an unlockable bonus game in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. The Dracula X Chronicles version features numerous differences from the original PlayStation 1 version. There is a new script and newly recorded voice acting, as well as an option to use the original Japanese voices. Maria Renard has been added as a boss and playable character, sporting a new moveset modeled after her abilities in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. Several familiars, which were omitted from previous international versions of the original game, have been re-added. Like the Xbox 360 version, "I Am the Wind" was replaced with "Mournful Serenade"--a new piece composed by Michiru Yamane--as the closing theme. An English-recorded version of the song "Nocturne" has also been added.

Well, what can we say, does this game needs an introduction? If yes then: it's the one that many will address as "Metroidvania" that basically spawned this genre (even if it's supposed to mean to be a game inspired by this masterpiece and Super Metroid...which SOTN did it by itself already, but as an action JRPG).
I played this one instead of the PS1 so I experienced the best version with no aggravating loadings and an actual unironical good dub. Lucky me!
The inverted castle segment is just as fun and offers so many differences within the same castle to keep it engaging and entertaining. The music is breathtaking and the endless variety of tools at your disposal allows a huge range of ways to take on the castle and its inhabitants. Furthermore, being able to link parts of the castle together was extremely fun and never got boring, tracing my steps again and again after unlocking something new.
Alucard’s little animations have a great charm to them and so much personality, as do so many of the little animations you can find. As I mentioned, it’s a game that rewards discovery and if I could talk about each and every one of them I’d have to write a 3 part book. I love Castlevania so much.
Also inverted castle is the best part of the game why the hell people don't like it
