Achievements are nicely spaced for both casual and hardcore players. Playing through the game should earn all of them, with the exception of playing through as Richter. It’s a game that will easily earn its highly acceptable 800 MS Point price tag if you’re going for the full array of 200 Gamerscore points.
As far as direct ports go, they rarely come any cleaner than this. Symphony was already one of the greatest games of the modern era, and mixed in with the Live Arcade, it still rules its post. This will be amongst the elite of titles available for download for quite some time to come.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Animated Blood and Gore, Animated Violence. This title is also available on: PS1, Sega Saturn.

Symphony of the Night was named best scroller of all time by Game Observer and with good reason. The game is loaded with extras. It has countless enemies (each one dies in a different way), countless rooms to explore, two giant castles, bosses, spells, familiars, skill you can find, a plethora of items and armor, many of which have different effects, and an RPG element. The game is simply HUGE. Countless hours of top-notch gameplay to boot. Great game!
