Castlevania
Nintendo (NES)
Hard, But Fun
4/5 stars
Castlevania's story, music, bosses, and theme made this a great game. The idea of invading a castle with a whip to take out Dracula was a top notch idea. The play control is hated by a lot of people because it doesn't follow the Mario formula. You either jump short or far, no controlling Mr. Belmont after he gets in the air. It's annoying and frustrating at times, but the design of the game is based on it and you can get use to it.
The bosses are memorable. It includes: Frankenstein, Death, and Dracula. The secondary weapons help take this game beyond other platformers. It adds strategy, especially with boss fights by deciding if you should have the cross, axe, holy water, etc.
Castlevania is another one of those difficult NES games, but you do have unlimited continues and it's not a very lengthy game. It was high school by the time I beat this game and it was a big victory in my eye. A true NES classic.
