"old game, but classic one."

My review to the game CASTLEVANIA to NES-system. It's the first in the whole serie. Game is made by Konami 1987. (So this is a very ol' game). The game has exactly the things you can expect of Nes system: Bad grafic, horrible sound(but some of the music is cool) control of the hero is uncool, and so, but the game-idea is ok. This was the first game of one serie that would rock the earth many times, and last now, it did rumble with N64 in Castlevania 64, (3D emotion) This game has no specialities, no difficult rules, nuthin'. Just go on and try to get the suckhead(Dracula). I compare this game to other nes-games, so I give it a 6. It is actually not a good game if you think about it. But it is 12 years old. (If I should compare it with other games all consols, it would just get a 2, can't give it more then there are games like FF8, Zelda 64 out there, sick question: wich game is best, Zelda 64, or this one? I think you got it now, don't ya?)

Ok, here's the story:

You are Simon Belmont(is it Simon Belmondo? I snapped something up about this) the only one to stop Dracula and his monsters before they turn everybody to Zombies. Your only weopon is a whip, and with this one, you will enter the dark fortress beneath you. Inside, nowone knows anything, nobody made it out. And now, who are you to go in there and kill the master himself? Well, you have to do it. Otherwise, mankind will die and only Zombies will exist. You take a deep breath, tighten your hands to the whip, and enters the dark door. The doors are closing behind you, and now you know that things will happen.

Well, ‘tis game is 12 years old, so what can you expect, 3D animations?, 360 degree-movements?,and stereo-sound? No, nothing of this is in the game. The most positive thing in this game is the challenge. It really is hard to go through the whole game, and kill the king. You must use your fast fingers, brain-power, and all experiences you got to make it. Good luck!

Grafic: Grafic is nothing special.

Grafic score: 6.4/10

Music score: Music and sound does have some positive things.

Music/Sound score: 7,6/10

Control: Control is ok.

Control score: 7.4/10

Challenge: Challenge is real hard. Just to get to the evil lord is hard. Beat him is even harder.

Challenge score: 9.7/10

Overall score: This game is nothing special, except the first game in a serie. Score is 6.
