This is an awesome game and was worth getting it for my PS2 to have with my other Castlevania games.  I just love the sound track and the graphics for it's time were very good.  The only complaint I have is that when you die you don't get a continue and you have to wait through a death screen and then have to go through reloading your file all over again.  Other than that this game is a classic, one of the best Castlevania games.
