User Rating: 5.5 | Dracula Unleashed SCD
Dracula Unleashed is another game that makes use of video sequences to unfold its storyline. It all starts in London, the year is 1899 and the city is infested with vampires, while it seems exciting the game is slow paced. You might get bored with the gameplay, it resembles Jurassic Park also for Sega CD, where you look for items to be placed somewhere, the problem is to figure what an specific item does and where is it supposed to be used, thankfully it allows you to save anywhere. Like other Sega CD games such as Night Trap, Tomcat Alley, Sherlock Holmes, Formula One Beyond the Limit and Bram Stoker´s Dracula the video sequences are highly compressed compromising some effects. No need to mention that even with some nice acting from the actors some effects look as fake as airplane explsions in TomCat Alley. Considering Sega CD´s video capabilities the sequences are acceptable. To compensate the grainy videos the sound is indeed one of the strongest points in the game, and usually Sega CD games have nice sound work. Unless you really like slow paced games and have enough time to spend getting used to the screen menus or if you like classic games as I do, you should skip this one.
