More On: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
One of the more highly anticipated Xbox Live Arcade releases is coming out next Wednesday. Castlevania: Symphony of Night is hitting the XBL next week at 800 MS points. That's not bad for one of the best PS games around. Now one of my co-workers can stop asking me everyday when this bloody game is coming out. The game comes with new widescreen support and you can play the original version with the old sound.
Journey Into the Darkness With “Castlevania: Symphony of Night” on Xbox Live Arcade
 
Celebrate more than two decades of the Castlevania franchise by reliving (or experiencing for the first time) one of the series’ most highly regarded games. The legendary 2D side-scrolling action adventure game from Konami Digital Entertainment, “Castlevania: Symphony of Night,” will be available for download on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 beginning Wednesday, March 21 at 0900 GMT (2 a.m. PDT).
 
The Castlevania franchise is well known for delivering exceptional quality in all elements that make a great game – story, music, level design, character development, gameplay and controls. In “Castlevania: Symphony of Night,” the 12th iteration of the series, gamers take on the role of Alucard, the half-vampire son of the blood-drinker Dracula, as he ventures into his infamous father’s foreboding castle. Along the way, Alucard must collect items, weapons and armor to defeat the powerful boss monsters that block access to key areas of the castle.
 
“Castlevania: Symphony of Night” is the first full console classic to appear on Xbox Live Arcade and offers dozens of hours of non-linear action RPG gameplay. “Castlevania: Symphony of Night” will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated T for Teen (Animated Blood and Violence).
