Fine game, fine remake, I like some of the changes and additions...but nothing beats the beauty that is the original for me...man I hate this erasure of Anime pretty boy Dracula lol.

Visually it's really dull tho...I get that this is PSP but that's no excuse to make the textures so colorless...I have no idea why this happened when they didn't have this problem when trying to bring Kojima style to 3D before. Maybe one day it'll be redeemed by a PPSSPP texture pack, so far only an HD upscale exists.

I appreciate them keeping the difficulty and gameplay feeling exactly the same though...this remake doesn't hold your hand unlike the many "remakes" now and I gotta give it props for that.

Also I used Richter more this time and actually saved Annette as her...I felt a bit dissatisfied when I rescued her as Maria in Rondo so I'm glad to find bring that to a closure.

Remakes lately leave a bad taste in my mouth and I'm sick of them, so that definitely made me tired of this one near the end...yes that's not the game's fault but what can I say?

Screw Stage 5' tho, I'm not doing that, especially after having already beaten Dracula.

Also why PSP? What an odd choice of platform going from PC Engine...

Rondo is easily the better version.
