Castlevania: Dracula X

The Good
This game is what Castlevania is all about, I mean, this feels like playing the old Castlevania games all over again. One thing that I really enjoyed was the different levels you could go to, you can either go the straight path to Dracula, or you can go past that path, and play through the many secret levels. Another great thing about this Castlevania, just like all the others, is the excellent soundtrack. As you go through the levels, you will hear such remixes of older Castlevania songs such as Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears, and Opening from Castlevania 3. Besides the great old school Castlevania action, there is also great boss fights. The first few bosses in this game may seem somewhat easy, but when you get to later levels, these bosses get very tough. All in all, Castlevania Dracula X is one of the best games in the series, and one of my personal favorites. I suggest to anyone who can find this game to buy it, because it is a great investment, and you won't regret it!

The Bad
There isn't much to not like about this game, but there is one problem that I have with it. I really like the fact that this is like the old Castlevania games, but why did they have to bring the bounce back when you get hit by an enemy back, it especially makes the final fight with Dracula extremely frustrating. Even though I don't have any major complaints with the game, the bounce back can make for some very undeserving deaths.

The Bottom Line
This is a great game for all Castlevania fans, and for ones who may not have ever played the famous series.
