This game is easily one of the best games for NES. The game play is fairly simple but it is the boss battles that make this game shine. Each of the six different bosses are classic horror movie staples: Medusa, Frankenstein (with hunchback), the mummy, Death, a giant bat for good measure, and of course, Dracula himself. While most bosses can be defeated with just your whip they all have a weakness to a particular weapon. This makes fighting them that much more fun. The weapons require hears to use and those are collected through out the level. Unlimited continues make for a quick game but that definitely does not detract from the fun. Overall, the game is a blast with no major flaws.
