Castlevania review:5 stars (Maddening yet fun. Does that make sense?) - I remember playing this game years upon years ago and still cant believe i beat it while i was about 8 years old. Yikes!
This classic, which spawned tons of great Castlevania games which are still going strong, is intensely difficult and had me on the verge of throwing my Gameboy at the wall more than once.
The first level of this game is extremely easy and gets you into the feel of the game. However, levels 2-5 are extremely hard. From the first time you fight the flying medusa heads or jumping igors you will loathe them and probably have nightmares of them knocking you into pits.
Later in the game you are only allowed 4 hits total before you meet your maker while some of the bosses, like the grim reaper, need about 20 hits to take em down. Not to mention just about every 'jump' you have to make in this game is surrounded by annoying enemies ready to knock you into a sudden death plummet.
Still, this game does bring back fond memories of the fun yet frustrating game. Now we just need them to bring back Castlevania 2 and 3 for the Gameboy...5 stars (Simon Belmont the vampire slayer is back) - Castlevania along with its follow ups CV II simons quest and CV III draculas curse for the NES, even super castlevania IV for the SNES is great. You are Simon Belmont, its you and your trusty whip as you head off To slay Dracula and save the town of Transilvania. But many monsters such as giant bats, Frankentstein, Medusa, Even the Grim Reaper, are out to stop you. And man the Grim Reaper is totally a pain in the ass. You get additional weapons such as axes, knives, holy water, boomerangs, all that good stuff. This game is insanly difficult but it is always fun to play none the less. Its fun to whip your way through levels like a pro only this time you can do it on road trips, on the airplane, even in your own bathroom! This classic old school is definently worth lashing out 20$ unlike some of the other titles in the classic nes series. If you are sick of the later Castlevania games and wish you could have a simple point A to point B sort of game with unbelievebly difficulties as you make your way through castlevania, this game is for you. If you never played an old school cv game or any cv game what so ever, get this now and experiance what its like to be the vampire slayer...all on your gba. Oh, and if you loved this, go out and buy a super nintendo and get Super Castlevania IV! BEST CASTLEVANIA EVER!!5 stars (Great Classic Game) - I have never played this game for the NES but now I have eventually played this game for the 1st time. and incase people didn't know Konami also Released a CastleVania Game not only for the SNES, N64, Game Boy Advance, They also did some games for the Playstation and the Playstation2.
P.S. I also think that Castlevainia reminds me of watching the Monster films, Frankenstein, The Mummy, and Dracula Starring Christapher Lee (Lord of the Rings).
