This game is 
ing hard on the highest difficulty.
Usually, I don't have a problem with the older-style Castlevania games, but this one is a pain.
I like Castlevania SNES and Dracula X more than this remake.

It's an old school platformer. Figure out the patterns and it's quite simple.
That's the challenge; it's a great title and while not a 'deal' since PSX games on PSN, whenever they're actually released, are all $5.99 (Symphony of the Night notwithstanding, but that was to keep parity with the XBLA version, methinks - or an excuse to give Konami more money). But $6 for a classic platformer is a great deal, I suppose.

I don't remember the NES CV games to be as hard as this one. I bought this for PS1 for $20. I really struggled to beat this a second time through because the game gets tougher.
For me, the NOMIS code makes the game impossible. Plain and simple, I'm just not good enough to avoid getting just hit once and dying. I need a safety net.
I played the Arranged Mode, but there is really no major differences between classic and regular.

[quote name='dg7md']I never downloaded any PSX classics, are they optimized for HD?[/QUOTE]
The PS1 classics are exactly the same as they were before, so they are unfortunately not optimized for HD. The good news is that the PS3 can upscale and smooth the image so they look much better than they would if you simply plugged in an old PS1 or PS2. You can find the upscaling options under "game settings" in the PS3 menu.

I don't mean to be flip, but why, then, would you not lower the difficulty setting in that case, unless you have some masochistic bend that forces you to play all games on their most difficult options?
I agree with you, though; this is a toughie in general and a perhaps overly-faithful remake of a Japanese computer (VC something or other) version that was already a remake of the NES/Famicom original, Akumajou Dracula, in America, Castlevania. My point being it's just not as rich as even, say, Castlevania 3, which is frankly a phenomenal game (not sure which is harder! both make me wanna break things).

Slower-paced, and it'll look familiar if you played the NES original. It's a good game but is fairly dated. If you're a Castlevania fan it's basically like a historic game from how you can see how the series evolved.
You will never find a Castlevania, IMO, as pure as SOTN. Don't expect this to beat SOTN but it's a servicable game to a CV fan and is interesting based on the remake factor.
And yes progress can be saved.

Lower the difficulty? I'm not some kind of wimp!
Yes, I have a masochistic bend to crank every game I play to the highest setting.
In general, I think the game is pretty difficult. Once I first got the hang of it, I cranked it up, but I was thrown on to my ass. The second play-through is just brutal.
Overall, the game is not as good as most others in the traditional pre-SOTN series. It's mostly for the curious and "masochistic."
In order of preference, my picks look like this: RoB, Super Cv IV, III, Bloodlines, I, this, II and the terrible SNES Dracula X.
Although, for some reason, I have a sick fascination with II. At times, I like it more than any other CV because it's much different.

Man, I'm picking at everyone tonight. Sorry about that.
But what I want to say is--SotN, pure? If anything, this is pure Castlevania, and perhaps the best expression (as was mentioned) of pure Castlevania is Dracula X (Rondo of Blood, remade in the excellent PSP release, whose name escapes me--Dracula X Chronicles maybe?--, that includes the original Turbo Duo version, a remade version, and even SotN); SotN was the first to divurge from the "pure" formula and add, well, Metroid elements.
You're right, though; if you're expecting this one to be SotN, you'll be gravely (oh, the puns!) disappointed. Appreciated as its own beast, even kind of difficult on easy (if I remember correctly), it can be fun, and, as you say, historical; it might be nice to experience the Famicom originals, too. I wonder how many are available on the Virtual Console? Castlevania 3 is one of my all-time favorites.

Really, you like Super IV better than Bloodlines? I don't know why, but I never got into Super. I should play it sometime soon. But I always loved Bloodlines for some reason. Could have been all the glowing praise I read about it in GameFan Magazine that swayed me.
Yeah, Castle II is such an odd duck. I never realized its... flaws... at the time. I mean, it was so novel. In retrospect, I have realized it's kind of a mess, which makes Castle III all the more interesting.
But speaking of different Castlevanias, what do you think of the GBA and DS releases? The newest DS one is probably my favorite--Order of Ecclesia. It's just fantastic. Probably too easy for you, though. I mention it because it has you roaming around like in II instead of just in one, big castle.
And finally, to end this long-winded questionaire, what did you think of the 3D Castlevanias? I couldn't bring myself to enjoy anyone, although I certainly tried to like the first PS2 one. (I can't even remember the names.)
There's a new Castlevania game coming to the current-gen consoles. I would love it to play classically, but I fear it will be another 3D disaster. Or, maybe it'll be, gasp, a good 3D Castlevania, but I'm sure not holding my breath.

There is another CV1 "remake" amongst them, and I recall reading that it is terrible.

As a hardcore CV fanboy, I would love to get my hands on this for the PSP playability. Of course, went on my PS3 and couldn't find it when it was announced so I will just wait.
This game is very hard in the classic version, the remade version has the difficulty level scalable. I went through the remake on easy because I wanted to get through it and see what I was missing. Even then, it was quite frustrating so I am sure I will feel that very same way when I go to the classic version.
And, as a guy who played Haunted Castle and vs. Castlevania in the arcade way back in the day, I believe that CVIII is the best, period. Everything from SotN on isn't REALLY CV, even though SotN is a good game. It is all hybrid gaming, but that isn't a bad thing persay. Everything needs to change and it worked out well so far... except for the whole Castlevania for the Wii... ick.

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved playing through Castlevania (NES), Castlevania III (NES), and Castlevania: Bloodlines (Genesis) but after playing through Symphony of the Night, I found I just couldn't enjoy Castlevania Chronicles when it was first released on the PS1 and I even couldn't get into Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP. It's the jumping and not-as-responsive-as-SOTN controls that really bothers me. It makes the game much harder than it has to be and also less enjoyable for me. Just my opinion, though, so good news for anyone that was looking for this game and thanks to Sony for finally putting a PS1 game up that people want.

I may pick this up as I'm more a fan of CV3 and those type of "staged" CV games versus the new "collect souls" method adopted by the DS and GB entries. For me, SOtN was a great game (one of my favorites) but Konami took it too far after that an lost the core CV experience.
I would love to see them take a hard look at the CVs of the NES, SNES, and Genesis games and give a proper sequal to those games.

As a somewhat recent Castlevania fan (SOTN *really* got me into it all), this looks like a solid purchase at a great price.

I bought it back in the day and was completely disapointed. Had it been a full remake of Castlevania 1 even with Playstation 1 quality 2D graphics and audio (or better still now...PS3), but it's not even that. It's a port of some late 80's computer version or something along those lines.
But for $6... it's not going to be the worst use of money ever.

Probably not much. And honestly it's more of a curiosity than anything.
I assume you can buy a copy and run it on your Playstation Portable AND Playstation 3...so that's pretty cool. But no one better be getting this if they don't have Symphony of the Night...I mean that's 100,000x better, conservatively speaking.

Well, Jetmoto was awesome back in the day. But I don't know if I'd still spend $5.99 on it now. It's probably pretty rough around the edges now like most first-generation 3D games.

Played it on PSP a year ago right after I was with SoTN, really disappointing & felt like a step backwards. Then again, I only prefer the Metroidvanias with RPG aspects over simple hack & slash & linear platforming.
