The year is 1691, And the king of evil, Dracula, has arisen from his 100 year slumber to tear up the country side of Europe. A demon slayer by the name of Simon Belmont steps up to confront this demon king, wielding his family er loom the "Vampire Slayer", A whip that can change its form depending on the items one poses, blessed with holy power. Though he will have to go through hell first to make it far enough to even catch a glimpse of this king.
This game must have been amazing when it came out on the Nes, the music rocked, the action was great and a solid story line. What could possibly be bad about it? Lets start off with..One..Major..Flaw...When Simon gets hit he falls back 2-3 pixels, so any single time your going for a jump, if you don't end up going through the enemy which rarely happens, you go backwards and eather land on the platform or go down and fall into the hole, which the latter happens more times than not.. It also happens if you are standing or walking, so if your in front of a pit and get touched by one of the damn enemy's, you fly back and fall RIIIGHT into the hole.
My second beef with this game? Its FREAKING HARD!! I mean, the "glitch" (If you could call it) which I explained above does add to the hardness, but the game its self, if it didn't have that glitch, would still be hard as hell.. You end up concentrating so much on it that your eyes start to hurt and then you go to wipe them or rubb them to sooth them, and OPPS! Your in the pit again, another life gone oooooorrrrr Game Over, eather way it pisses me off to no end. Has anyone ever and I mean ever played this far enough to get to Death? If you have you know what I mean, just look at the hallway before you get to death, theirs flying Medusa heads, knights throwing axes and coming for you, and I mean it doesn't sound hard, but holy hell, its hard, there is little chance you will make it through there without getting hurt..wait let me put it this way. 5% chance of making it unscathed through that corridor of hell, 25 (at most)% of making it past it at all, and then 10% if your extremely lucky with death to make it past him, eather way these odds are unsettling, you have a better chance at getting a hernia, your arm falling off, your testicles exploding or you shitting your pants. Make it to draculas stage and then Dracula.. That is living hell, I mean what did you expect after Death? Death..Freaking..Answers to this guy, if the master of life and death does that, you know you are in for some serious shit, even more than when a DeLorian hits 88 miles an hour..(Shut up lol)...
Dracula has more than 1 form so its not easy, but you get to whack his head off which is freaking amazing.. But all in all, its a good game, just really frustrating, but if you can accept that then play through it! It really is a good game other wise. So pick it up, if you don't believe me on what I said then enjoy getting slaughtered!
Anyway until next rant or what ever, Ronin-Kin (This made me feel better lol)
