Got bored of this one, completed it but really prefer the action orientated pre symphony titles.
However I did have the Saturn ver. maybe my experience was tainted?
Great music though.

You can play as Richter in the PS1 game. After you beat the game enter his name into a new game slot. You can also enter AXEARMOR (AXE ARMOR?) for a cool extra in your inventory.
I wouldn't mind revisiting the whole game myself with Richter.
If I remember correctly, I think I may have been careful enough to beat it with all four endings (or was it just three out of four I got?).
This game was also released for the XBOX 360 on the compilation disc titled "Konami Classics Collection - Volume 1". i am curious to know how this version compares to their older counterparts :?:
I know of one version in which they re-made the English voice-overs with much better acting. I can't be sure if that's part of that copy.
That's the PSP version included in Dracula X Chronicles.
I played the Saturn version first and I have barely played the PSx version so the flaws don't come off as big to me as they would to some other folks. But I do think Konami could've done a better job than what they did do. Look at how beautiful Taromaru turned out.
Does the PSP version have the extra's from the Saturn port?
The PSP version has the Maria Fight from the Saturn version as well as the ability to play as Maria. But it's been rebalanced to make her less broken. Though it has the side effect of making fighting her as a boss a complete pushover. She no longer has the magic stuff she had in the Saturn version. Instead she plays like she did in Rondo of Blood, throwing Birds at people and calling on her animal friends.
Since the PSX dev team didnt make most of the original stuff in the Saturn version, they kept it out of future ports.
I have both the PS1 and Saturn versions (and PSP). I prefer the PS1 version, despite not having Maria or the two extra areas.
PS1 pros:
-nicer graphical effects
-better resolution (no stretching like the Saturn one has)
-you don't have to go through the menu screen and wait for loading just to see the map
These three things, especially the last two, make the PS1 version my preferred version between the two. However, I do enjoy the Saturn one and have played through it a couple of times.
PSP version is best (it's NOT a straight port of the PS1 version).
SotN is probably my favourite game ever.
