Castlevania is a Action/Adventure game with some RPGish elements. It has some freaky tunes that gives it almost a Survival/ Horror feel. Although I thought it was a pretty cool game, with alot of neat puzzel/stategy to it, one thing that personally bothered me was that the game is really demonic, with alot of ghosts, spirits, demons, and devils that (since I'm a christion), kind of ruined some of the fun of the game for me. I know that stuff is typical for a vampire type game, but it still bothered me quit a bit. If you can look past all that crap, the game is actually fun and is very difficult, at some points. You have two people to choose from, Reinhardt (or something like that) and Carrie, each with there own scenerious. This is a cool game, but if your a christian, or just not into that satanic vampire stuff, you might want to pass this game up, otherwise, check it out, it's a neat game.
