It's Castlevania 64, expanded!
Legacy of Darkness isn't exactly a new game, just the original N64 title with extra features, and they absolutely make this the better version.
Better lock on, higher resolution with the expansion pack, faster climbing, upgradeable subweapons, actual camera controls, new levels, new layouts for the original levels, and two new characters: Cornell and Hunk-- I mean, Henry.
Cornell is the star of the show. He's in the box art, and is the only playable character at first. This game takes place years before CV64, detailing how that game's Dracula came to be.
Completing the campaign as Cornell will unlock Henry, WHO HAS A GUN!
Henry's mode is pretty straightforward: Rescue the kidnapped children from 6 levels before time runs out. Not nearly as much puzzle solving or time-card using, just blast through the hordes of evil while looking for the missing kids. Finishing his mode while rescuing everyone will unlock Reinhardt and Carrie, Hard mode, and everyone's alt costumes.
I didn't replay the game with Reinhardt and Carrie but from what I looked up, their campaigns are largely the same, with some new layouts.
Legacy of Darkness is simply a better Castlevania 64. Play both if you're a nerd, or stick to LoD if you only have time for one.
