Pretty solid remake. At its core it still Rondo of Blood so it checks out in the gameplay but the new stuff like all the new cutscenes for the bosses and Maidens, the voice acting, the orchestral soundtrack and Dracula's 3rd phase are all welcome additions.

Still, I prefer the original since the graphics here don't stand out nearly as much and the game looks really washed out at times, plus the original's got the best Castlevania soundtrack.

Regardless, you can't go wrong with playing either version
