Konami Classics: Vol. 1 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Personally I only got it for Castlevania because I didn't want to have to download it from xbox live arcade but the two other games became boring and you can't find anybody online to play against. Also these games are basically just copied from the xbox arcade and put on a disc becuase when you run the disc and play the games it puts the demos of the three games onto your xbox and just unlocks it when you have the disc in but locks it back up when you take the disc out. All the achievements and things of that sort are also exactly the same as they would be if you were to just download the game off the arcade so you only get 600gp for this game when you normally would get 1000gp for a normal completed game.
Last my final recommendation is if your planning getting this you should probably only get ti for Castlevania, unless of course you like frogger or the re textured version of the original contra from the NES and you want to revisit it, but be warned the xbox control pad is uncomfortable to use and can give your finger cramps because of the tough reach.

In my opinion this is the better of the two Konami Classics discs, but that isn't saying much. In theory the Konami Classics sound fun but they will likely only hold your attention for a very short period of time.

The most annoying factor is that the games are played on a small screen with borders around it (at least playing on a widescreen TV) which is unacceptable.

Frogger is fun for a few minutes while Super Contra is quite challenging (but in my opinion inferior to Contra which is on Volume 2, however considering it too is played on a miniature screen it's not worth playing).

Castlevania: Symphony of Night, however, is the best game on both Konami discs. The Playstation game looks wonderful and plays great to this day. Unfortunately, once again the small screen is a hindrance.

I'd rate Castlevania a 9/10, however the disc as a whole is pretty useless.
