This game is awesome. I'm terrible at it, but I love it. The game has a simple concept (although somewhat awkward controls) and has awesome music. I like the music so much that it is my ringtone for my phone!
The basis of the game is pretty simple. Get to Dracula's castle and defeat him. Along the way you fight hoards of other nasty beasts, but you get to use a whip on them!
You can get some powerups by whipping candles. You can get a special weapon or points. The special weapons each have their own effectiveness, but my favorite so far is the cross.
In order to use your special weapons, you need to collect hearts. The hearts give you ammo (for lack of a better word). Kind of weird, isn't it? Usually hearts give you health, but not in this game! In this game you find porkchops in the wall that regenerate your health. Let me say that again: porkchops in the wall. Sounds like tasty life, right? You can also find Roman numerals in the walls that allow you to shoot your special weapon more than once before they disappear. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, hearts either give you one or five, uh, uses of your weapon.
This is the part that always gets me. It usually takes me quite a few tries before I get through it. Those stupid Medusa heads get me each time! I know this isn't very far into the game, but what can I say? I'm not very good at games like this. I want to practice more and get better at it, but I always seem to get wrapped up in other games. Castlevania defintely deserves more attention from me.
