Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse
Reviewed by R. Mullett
The final game in the NES trilogy that has some of the best graphics,
sound, and gameplay I've ever seen for this system. I remember the
first day I got it: Christmas '90 (I think) my aunt got it for me I hadn't
even heard it had come out, but here I was with it in my hands. I just
had to play it
Graphics 9 out of 10
the graphics were awesome (for a NES game) with bats and candles
and all other manner of creatures with great movement and many
frames of movement. The only downfall for the game was that it
was on the NES and that too many sprites on screen would slow
movement. Backgronds quite good, especially the clock tower with
all the moving cogs and gears
Music and Sound 8 out of 10
Although the NES was never known for its arcade sound the first 2
games had much better background music and sounds. one reason for
this was probably the lack of info to put the songs on because of
the greater No. of levels sounds and characters. Considering the
space of memory available the cartridge was probably jammed
with all they could fit on there
Game Challenge 10 out of 10
with multiple paths and character morphs the game had all the elements
and more of a classic game. I still play it and compared to some of the
newer games where it seems like all they do is find any old story line
and couple it with the latest trend in graphics and sound.
Overall 9.7 out of 10
My all time favorite NES game.
