Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse

aka: Akumajou Densetsu
Moby ID: 7415

NES version

A must play, the best NES game made

The Good
Programming was easy, and simple to follow. You could choose your own path from time to time, and pick your own partners if you wanted them.

This game was pretty good on a musical sense, but I still felt left out because of Konami's custom sound chip, the VRC-6 only available on the Famicom system in Japan.

Bosses were tough, but not impossible.

Graphically, the background is great, but the tiles were no upgrade from Castlevania I and II.

The Bad
Level 5A, 7A, 7B, 9 and 10 slowly move in part of it. once you head off the screen, youre dead.

Again, In Japan this game may look and feel the same, but its not the same as the North American version.

The Bottom Line
This game will not disappoint anyone, regardless if youre into action games or not, everyone should play this game.
