Ok i got to say this...

Before i say this, i have to say i love the castlevania games!
But Dracula X Chronicles, is crap, it has to be said. the only reason worth buying it is Symphony of the Night, which is available on xbox live anyway, i feel completely ripped off... =[

How did it suck? I am also a fan of the Castlevania games and I enjoyed Dracula X Chronicles very much. I loved the storyline of the game.

What made you dislike it so much?

I guess people can't deal with the difficulty of the game.

Personally, I think it's refreshing to go back to the difficulty that Castlevania should be.

It's mostly 5' and 7 that are a pain. SOTN has far more to explore, a much better engine to run on and much more cheese to throw at the enemy, so of course it's going to be more highly regarded.

id have to also agree that im not too impressed with this game. i had an absolute blast with the Nintendo handled ones (Portrait of Ruin, Dawn and Aria of Sorrow and the GBA ones im still working on ), but so far this one doesnt seem as good. the extreme limits placed on your whip is just ridiculous. no diagonal or even vertical whipping? what the hell?

i can go play SOTN on 360 easily enough.

damn, just bought the game and got my azz kicked badly by death. dracula x chronicles (dxc) sucks. the only reason i bought it was because of sotn. it's like konami purposely put dxc in there just to pissed off gamers. and it is working so far.

for me every castlevania games are good, well almost mostly of them are really hard which is for me makes the game more fun and challenging.
