| killeryoshis said: Castlevania 2 actually fun if you know what to do. Thing is that most people have no clue what to do. Once you start playing it and understanding the system it becomes a wonderful idea. However, it stills feel incredibly limited compared to the later games making it harder to enjoy fully. Though you have to be happy about the later Castlevania games since they are more like Simon's Quest than the other ones. Also, Castlevania 1 and 3 are hard but they really don't start getting really stupid hard until near the end. Dracula's Castle in 3 made me go crazy with all its enemies and bottomless pits. The darn game had no mercy. It didn't help that you only had 3 lives to get through the stage AND beat Dracula. (Who has 3 forms that you must be perfect with. Did I mention that the last form has bottomless pits? Ridiculous! ) |
Just a hint for Castlevania 3 (North American version only): If you enter your name as HELP ME, you will have 10 lives.
Castlevania 3 is easily my favourite traditional Castlevania game. I own and play both the North American and Japanese versions on a regular basis.
