A Classic Remake Done Right!
The Good- Gameplay is really fun,graphics are sharp,voices are amazing!
The Bad- Basic storyline,short,hard difficulty!
Gameplay- 10/10 Castlevania has always been about the gameplay to me. This castlevania is a remake of an older castlevania that never made it to americian gamers so its most likly something you havn't already played. The gameplay is quiet basic for it being made it 1993, you got a standard weapon and around 5-6 sub weapons you use throughout your quest to kill dracula. The game offers several different routes to follow and is quiet fun, sorta like mario and how its so basic yet its actually quiet fun. The remake is very well done but I thought they should of at least let richard be able to run.
Graphics - 9/10 its preety solid overall. Some things look a little odd I shall put it, but nothing that would count as blurry or just garbage. Sound- 9/10 solid sound overall. The game also allows you to collect soundtracks which you can listen in a music section of the game.
Storyline- 7/10 I am not going to hit this one hard as its an older game and its castlevania. Castlevania has never been about story and its an older game so storyline wasn't as big as it is today. If this were a bran new game then it would get lower, but for what it was and is, its standard castlevania short plot.
Extra material and Replay Value- 10/10 This game offers the original game to play and also SOTN from the PS1 where you play as Alucard and so forth. The extra actually add up more gameplay then the remake as the remake of Rondo of Blood can be beaten in a sitting. Gameplay Score x 3
Graphics x2
Sound x2
Storyline x2
Extra's and Reply x1
For a grand total of 100 marks.
90/100 round to 9/10
Overall- Amazing game! The game itself is short and sweet, but with the added extra's it makes this game well worth it and with a price tag of only $30 yah you can't say no to this well done remake!
