Well then Castlevania Symphony of the Night, the follow up the Castlevania Rondo of Blood...on the PC engine*sigh*. 
I'm having a bit of a problem as of this review my plugin isn't working is says "you need the newest plugin" even though I have 2.11 version.

Let's start with the story.  Story: Four years after Dracula was defeated by Richter Belmont, Castlevania materializes out of thin air Alucard from Castlevaina 3 is woken from his slumber to put an end to this madness. After encountering Maria Renard,Alucard makes this his mission to put an end to his father and find Richter but he turned to the dark side. After informing Maria she insists that Richter is under a spell and pleads for Alucard to snap him out of it. After receiving special equipment that lets you see the evil that is controlling Richter, and is revealed to be the dead priest Shaft (you dig?). Shaft summons a second castle, ONLY UPSIDE DOWN OH NO. Now Alucard has to explore is inverted mess to stop the resurrection of Count Dracula.

Enough of the story. Graphics 8: Sweet mother (it's almost Mother's day) of Alucard is game looks amazing this game also has a Sega Saturn version but only in Japan and some effects don't look as great as the PlayStation version and I know the reason but you'll have to find that out on your own.

Sound 8:I love this soundtrack to death (ha ha pun) excluding the Final Toccata but the other music in the inverted castle is Lost Paintings witch (another enemy pun) is amazing as well as the Prologue,still not my favorite soundtrack ever that honour belongs to Xenoblade Chronicles.

Addictiveness 9:I can't really tell you how many times I would have finished this game many times if this was earlier on vizzed probably twenty or even how old Porky is in Mother 3 or sixty times the length of Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch.

Depth 7: This game lets you got anywhere in the castle as long as you have the upgrades to access certain areas of the castle like the leap stone or an upgrade that causes item out of candles to materialize and some disgustingly overpowered gear like the ring of Varda, on my personal file I have two ring of Varda's plus the Crissagrim two in fact skeletons yes they blend.Try the Shield rod and Alucard shield and I'll be there to pick your jaw from the floor.

Difficulty 5: In the beginning there will be a few enemies and bosses that will give you a run for your money but when you get some decent equipment the game challenge starts dropping like a stack of domino's if you know what enemy drops great equipment.

Game play:This a action Rpg,it's simple stuff but the more enemies you kill the stronger and tougher Alucard becomes. He has spells,weapons with different properties,classic subwepons and transformtions.Alucard just might be the most versatile protagonist I have the joy of controlling. The bosses and enemies are from older games or entirely new bosses or being reused from Rondo of Blood and are give a set amount of exp and have a set amount of health. Also money can drop from candles and enemies and can be used in the Long Libray and the Long Liberian will give you items to help..defeat...his..m-master. Why would he sell stuff to defeat his master,Alucard persuade him by saying,'You will not be left unrewarded   

Notes: I like Robert Bell Grotty being the voice actor of Alucard, it's not perfect but he can sound awesome at time like when he says this to boss in his(Alucards) nightmare "Demon death is too good for you" 

Last score 9.7: This game is very similar to Super Metroid and the term Metroidvania was born,if you know a game that is comparable to this other that Xenoblade Chronicles please let me know 'cause
I like this game a lot
