Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse

    Castlevania 3 is a prequel to 1 and 2. In this one you play as Trevor Belmont taking on Dracula. The gameplay is basically the same as the first one, you whip candles, use hearts, get whip upgrades, etc... Of course there has to be new stuff isn't there? First, you have got multiple paths which is extremely cool, it basically means that you'll have to finish this extremely hard game twice! Now here is the coolest new feature, NEW CHARACTERS! Three of em as a matter of fact. First off is Grant Dynasty, a pirate. He sucks at fighting but he is really fast and can climb on walls and ceilings, he is extremely fun to play as. Then there's Sypha, the wizard despite what the game says, Sypha is a woman, not a man. She really sucks at physical fighting but her magic spells rock. And finally there is the infamous Alucard, the son of Dracula. He has a long range fire ball attack and can transform into a bat.

    Aside from that, and things necessary for a sequel(improved graphics, sound,etc.) there isn't much new, but you really won't care because this game is so good. There is a password in this game(thank god). That is definitley a blessing, because this game is REALLY hard.

    And finally, here's a cool trick. When the game asks for your name, put in HELP ME and you'll start with 10 lives! Whopee!

Graphics	Music	Sound	Control	Overall
Look great, lots of detail. I give it a 9	C'mon it's Castlevania, you know it's great. I give it a 9.5	Sounds good with some monster screams when you beat bosses. I give it an 8	Control is still slightly annoying in some places. I give it a 7.5	Do I need to even tell you to buy this game? I give it a 9.5
