A Very Pale Imitation Indeed

Wow. This is the absolute worst incarnation of the Tiger Electronics Castlevania II game I've ever seen. Of course. . .this is the ONLY incarnation, other than the actual handheld unit, but still. . .

First of all, the graphics are a pale imitation of the little LCD graphics. Very pale imitation. . . The graphics barely look a thing like the handheld device's graphics. If you were really trying to emulate the original graphics, the failed. By far. 3 out of 10. And this isn't even including the poor-quality scan of the unit itself, mind you. If I were counting that, I would likely knock off the other two points. . .

Now, the style flatly bombs. The movements of Simon, his Dagger tossable, and the Bone Pillars, are way too quick in comparison to the game. There's hardly any time to dodge out of the way, thanks to the fact you have to play with the mouse.(More on that later, though.) This gets a 1.

The original LCD had little bips and boops in it. Not a piece of very soft, quiet MIDI(I'm guessing) rendition of Vampire Killer in it. It had no music at all, in fact. So, in addition to the fact that this strays vastly from the original, the MIDI in the background is terrible. This also gets a 1.

The violence in this game is hardly excessive. That's just sloppy, false advertising. There is little more "violence" in this game than there is in an average Warner Bros. cartoon circa 1976. But then, the original game wasn't violent, either. So, either way, a 3 is a fair score for this one.

The controls for this game are horrendous. Unless there are some hidden keyboard controls for this game that I don't know about, anyway. Using the mouse to play an LCD game like this just does not work! Additionally, the Reset button also doesn't work at all. It's not even clickable. This drops the Interactivity down to a depressing 2.

So, let's give this the once-over, now. . . Badly-attempted graphics, no style, no sound and poor music, and very bad controls. What does that amount to? An extremely poor game. Oh, excuse me. A poor DEMO of a game. I pray you never actually make the full version of this, if this is all you can do.

Until next time,

far too blurry to see

I guess I can see where you are coming from with this piece of gaming. I realise you are trying to be original and create a game that is actually ON a console to make it seem more realistic.
However, the picutre was far too blurry and distorted to make it actually look a tad realistic and made it very frustrating because the blurred up picture meant you couldnt see the start button very cleary, and you had to click on directions which made the whole pace somewhat slow. The music was also repetetive and annoying and i would have preferred this without the atual console, because the screen was far too small to see what you were doing, and the actual game was sadly bad enough! The knife attack was bad and just looked like a little line and the graphics were overall poor. Although I understand the actual gameplay is from the shark game so it isnt your fault and so you wont lose marks for this, but the actual fact you have just copied and put a game onto a pasted pic of a shark console and put hardly any of work into this WILL lose you a lot of points. Do something about it and actually do mroe of your own work, rather than ressurecting somebody else's.
