Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse is a classic video game. Very challenging, but a lot of fun to play. Not only you can play Trevor Belmont, but you can play other characters, too. But to get to the other characters, you have to pick and choose of what level in the game you want to take that leads you to a certain character. If you haven't played this game yet, then you're missing out. It's a classic in its own right. Been a fan ever since I can remember.

Castlevania 3 is such a great nes game. It has so much replay value and it has so much gameplay variety, even by today’s standards. The music is outstanding, the password system is great, the gameplay and action is fun, solid, and this game will give you a challenge for many decades to come. Take it from somebody who’s been playing this game since it first came out.

The Castlevania series has been known for being great for being an awesome 2-d side scrolling action adventure where you play a determined vampire hunter. Castlevania 2 made the mistake of being like a half assed action RPG. Castlevania 3 however returned to the classic formula of having linear stages, but this time you have multiple paths on the way to Dracula. Also, depending upon the path you choose you meet new companions who will join you on your journey. You can meet up with three other companions, Alucard, Grant or Sypha. They will join you after you beat them or the boss where they reside. The gameplay is simple, you have a whip, it is upgradeable and you get many different sub-weapons which can be fired by pressing up and the attack button. The best feature of this game are the stages... there are a TON of them. The number of environments is amazing, and the level design is very good. The music is fantastic and eerie, perfect for the atmosphere. This game however is very tough though. There is a password system, but if you want to get through the final stage and beat Dracula you better be a veteran player. This game will beat you down big time. If you have patience and expertise though you will eventually triumph. This is a fun but tough game.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Makes me feel like I am 10 years old again. Always loved this Castlevania better than 1&2. Having multiple characters to choose from through out the game is very Kool! Highly recommend.

This is another one of those games that I wish could have 6 stars instead of five -- for several reasons. What is NOT to love about this game?! It has everything -- earth tone graphics, dark driving music (my favorite soundtracks are Level 2 -- the clock tower level, and Level 5, the Alucard level), better play control (than in Castlevania 1), and the challenge is just right. The replay value alone is worth playing for years to come, especially because you can choose some non-linear paths. If you wish to beat the game the easy way, you would probably want to skip the clock tower level and acquire Sypha the white mage. MY preferred way of beating this game is going through the clock tower level and picking up Grant then trading him for Alucard (Dracula's son) later in Level 5. I then like to go through the water pillar level but it gets frustrating after you halfway beat the bone boss only for the water to rise so you have to hurry up if you wanna beat the whole level. Alucard is then useful in the final levels because he can fly (considering you have at least 5 hearts)! Level 8 is cool because the updated soundtrack is reminiscent of the very first level in Castlevania 1. Your doppelganger can be frustrating to beat unless you have Sypha (you can kill your clone easily with the flame spell). So what are you waiting for?? Take this game home already if you don't have it, you will be glad you did.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Castlevania III abandons the adventure game elements of its immediate predecessor and returns to the platform game roots of the first Castlevania title. Unlike Castlevania, however, Castlevania III is not strictly linear: Trevor, the main character, can be assisted by one of three possible assistant characters, and after completing the first level, and at several other points throughout the game, the player is given a choice of paths to follow. The choices made by the player in these circumstances can have a profound impact on how the game unfolds. There are 15 stages in total. There are two main routes through the game's fifteen stages. The second stage is an optional excursion for picking up one of the three partner characters, and the main branch occurs part way through the third stage. Each route contains total of nine stages (ten if the player takes the optional second stage). The upper route takes the player across the lake to the main bridge, entering Dracula's castle through the front gate, and is generally regarded as the easier of the two routes. The lower route takes the player through a series of underground tunnels and cavernous areas, eventually scaling the cliff side below the castle, and is generally considered more difficult than the upper route. The lower route also features one short branching section of its own at stage 6. The two paths converge in the main hall of the castle.Vollständige Rezension lesen

I purchased this game after having played the original Castlevania years ago, and this game is just superb. Just the advancements in the graphics alone are impressive, bordering on what you'd see in a 16 bit game. The multiple playable characters is an excellent addition to the game. The difficulty is rather high for me, but I enjoy the challenge a lot. It's a great game for the NES library, and any gamer that enjoys classic games will love this game. One I got it, I played for 6 hours nonstop right away. Buy it, you'll love it.
This game is just as astounding as remember it from when i originally owned my first NES. The game play is smooth tho very difficult for most first time players. This game is definitely a need to have game for any NES collector or just someone looking for something that is slightly harder than most NES titles. BE WARNED this game will NOT work on most clone NES or Famicom consoles due to it having an mmc5 rom chip. This chip was not very popular so most clone companies cut the parts required to run it from there clone consoles.

Ah, Castlevania III, Dracula's Curse. Konami sure does make some good games don't they? This game is no different. This takes a turn from the 2nd installment of the Castlevania series, Simon's Quest, and it's more of a straight platformer, going through levels and killing bosses at the end of each level. I actually prefer Simon's Quest myself, but this is a close 2nd. I always thought it was funny how the size of your character kind of changed through every Castlevania game. In this one your main character seemed to be smaller than all the rest. Anyway, I thought this game was quite challenging and I don't beleive I've ever beaten it. I'll certainly give it another shot now though. Like all Castelvania games, you'll have the usual tools at your disposal as far as secondary weapons (dagger, cross, holy water, axe, and stop watch) and the hearts found from the candles are basically ammo for your weapons. You can also find the II and III block to be able to throw multiple secondary weapons at once (two or three at a time instead of one). And of course you'll be able to find roast beef or meat to replenish your health, usually found by whipping breakable blocks. There are certain parts in this game that are quite hard. I found the clock tower levels to be a bear. It's always hard to judge how late to wait before you jump on the clock's gears and exactly where to stand. Timing is everything at this juncture in the game and I remember dying quit a bit. Probably threw the controller once or twice in frustration here. I believe you'll have 3 continues to start off at the last door you passed through if you die, though if you continue after the game over screen it'll take you back to the beginning of the level. Frustrating sure, but consider yourself lucky as these were the NES days and most of the time you didn't get continues to begin with and coupled with that after you lost all your lives you went back to the beginning of the game. So consider yourself lucky. Later on in the game four of the bosses you face (depending on which route you take in the game determines which one you'll fight) will become your ally after you've beaten them. You can switch to the other character by hitting select any time you want. The first of which is Grant, who can jump farther and climb walls. The other is a guy who can turn into a bat and fly over hard jumps or chasms that are too wide. When you face him for the first time you might actually think it's Dracula, because he looks like him, but it's not... The other two I don't remember...either I never got that far in the game or I took a different route? No sure, but either way this is an interesting new aspect to the Castlevania series. One notable thing about Grant however is that you can also change his direction in mid air. This is something that was not possible in any Castlevania game up to this point. Graphics are good, and the music is pretty good as well. All in all it's a great Castlevania game. Now, it's nothing like Castlevania IV for the Super Nintendo, with all that fancy angled whipping, but it's still fantastic! (See what I mean with the characters changing size? In Castlevania IV the character got bigger rahter than smaller as seemed to be the previous trens. In fact in this game you were a GIANT in comparison). Anyway, if you like platformers, and like the Castevania series in general, this won't dissapoint you. Just be prepared for the later levels!Vollständige Rezension lesen
