Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles

Check Site at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it is probably the 2nd most challenging game in the series that i've ever played, behind gameboy's "the castlevania adventure", but that's a good thing.
from www.amazon.com
the graphics look just great, and apart from the overall difficulty of this title, it doesn't feel like you're playing an old (school) game with some polish over it.
from www.amazon.com
while no doubt still being challenging, it is a bit easier than some of the older titles, such as the very first castlevania.
from www.amazon.com
it's great that it's a challenge, but it's only a challenge because they didn't work on mechanics that weren't so good in the early castlevania games to begin with.
from www.amazon.com
the remastered game features some numbing difficulty, a nicely realized mix of 2-d and 3-d graphics, and some brilliant level design as well.

word of warning, rondo of blood is an unbalanced game in difficulty with parts amazingly easy to get through and bouts of amazing difficulty levels that will frustrated casual gamers from the start.
from www.amazon.com
as far as difficulty, this game is probably on par with castlevania 1 or 3.

VALKYRIE PROFILE LENNETH

$28.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.pricegrabber.com
depending on how well i did i would get a different ending, plus it was very helpful to have difficulty settings as several of the boss battles where too difficult to finish.
from www.pricegrabber.com
however, for those wanting a longer game, there is replayability in the way you train and promote warriors, the different difficulty levels, and the 3 different possible endings.
from bob330i, www.pricegrabber.com
given that there are 3 difficulty levels and different ways to meet your objective of training and sending souls to asgard, you could have a different result every time you play through.
from www.pricegrabber.com
there are three different difficulty settings for you to choose.
from www.pricegrabber.com
that's good if you like a challenge i guess but i've had to hit up a faq for some pretty simple things like solving crystal puzzles.

Ultimate Ghosts ''n Goblins

$24.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.walmart.com
lots of fun and if you want a challenge there are different difficulties so it helps to make it funner.
from A Gamer from Phoenix, AZ, clickfrom.buy.com
it has 3 difficulty levels, but even on the easiest difficulty it still is a challenge.
from A Gamer from Loudonville, NY, clickfrom.buy.com
the difficulty level is slightly frustrating, requiring some blind jumps and multiple replays until the levels sink into memory, but this is right on par for the series - certainly no more difficult
from www.overstock.com
the three different difficulty levesl will even bring back players from the previous games who were turned off by the almost ridiculously hard gameplay.
from www.amazon.com
it plays like the old games, but there are more magic, more weapons, more challenge, etc.

Pinball Hall Of Fame

$21.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i give it a 4/5 rating due to the high level of difficulty, i find it to be one of the harder games for the psp.
from www.amazon.com
yes, the psp's screen is limited here and at times it is difficult to track where your ball is, however this is not the fault of the game.
from www.amazon.com
it is challenging as well as satisfying.
from www.amazon.com
this game is challenging at first because you have to reach certain goals on certain machines first, before you can play the other machines.
from www.amazon.com
for example, if extra ball is lit, it may be very difficult to tell where the extra ball target is - you surely can't read a little "extra ball when lit" tag in the playfield.

the only drawback i've found is that it is overly challenging to get accustomed to all the moves...and how to use them correctly to put together a winning game.

completed challenges give multipliers to the experience so it behooves you to win.
