A good game.
Whenever you put the word "extreme" in a title, chances are it's going to suck. Fortunately this wasn't the case. And just like the original game for the NES, it's still just as brutally challenging.
Great work.
Reviews for "CastleVania Xtreme"
WTF
I'll give you one thing: this is a pretty acurate recreation, except for the fact that the first boss is absolutely impossible. I played the original, and the control was not that stiff, nor was impossible to whip the fireballs out of the air before they hit you. The only way I could beat him was to die on purpose again and again and build up my hearts to the point where I could jump, whip his head, land, and throw a cross in time to stop the fire. It doesn't matter though, considering that once I get to the second boss, I don't have enough hearts or lives to beat him. Bottom line: TEST your crap before releasing it!
But, you may be wondering, if I think it's such a pile of crap, why am I giving it a ten? Because it's an old game that's eben put into the castlevania section, so it's not gonna matter even if I do give it a 1. I'll just look like a jackass to anyone who's too impatient to read. I don't know if anyone will ever see this, but unless you're a hardcore castlevania fan, stay away.

Wow! You must suck in playing games...
I actually made it thru the game, without using one continue.
and yes, you CAN destroy the fireballs with the whip, you just have to learn the technique.
Anyway, everybody has their opinion...
took my breath away
THAT GAME WAS THE GREATEST FLASH I HAVE EVER PLAYED!!! GREAT JOB
coolness
AWSOME!!! me like. TheDon? why was the last boss easiest?
Awesome! Another old-school goodie.
A very well thought out game. Very percise and accurate. Most bosses had the same pattern as they do in the original game. Something I could play for a long period of time. Now...here's the part of my review that might disapoint u the game overall was not hard at all, but I have another thing to say the easy mode is too easy and as well......kind of made me not want to play it anymore.
To beat games like this u have to be reslient, must have A LOT of patience, and wits. That's what u need in order to even have a hope in beating tough games or in this case "Xtreme" games.
Well, like I've said before very good game and I look foward to ur next game in near future (or far) who knows its ur choice.

Heheheh... You are a TRUE old school gamer my friend! :)
If you go thru the reviews here, you will find many complaints on this game being too hard! :)
I found it easy myself... specially Eruga... he is silly easy! :P
But thank you for an insightful review, hopefully I will make a game soon.
