    My favorite Castlevania

    By dr_mindbender12 | Review Date: Jan 06, 2007 | SNES

    When I first played this game I instantly fell in love with it. The gameplay and controls are perfect and they feel fresh and different compared to the newer style of Castlevanias. The graphics are amazing considering th... Read Full Review

    Fun and Challenging

    By LoeJance | Review Date: Jan 01, 2007 | SNES

    A very fun game that has been brought back from the SNES era. This game keeps the old extra weapons such as boomerang, holy water, dagger etc. Very addictive gameplay but can be a little challenging at times. A little ch... Read Full Review

    Old school gaming at its best, just don't expect the non-linear game play of SoTN, this is more of a action/platformer.

    By keen_jason | Review Date: Dec 28, 2006 | SNES

    Castlevania IV is a must own for retro game fans. Just a fair warning for those use to Castlevania games like SoTN or the GBA/DS games, this is a linear game, and there are no RPG elements. The graphics hold up pretty... Read Full Review

    One of the best from the series.

    By GeneralMBison | Review Date: Dec 17, 2006 | SNES

    Konami has given us one of the best Castlevania games to ever come out. With the great graphics, music, and boses, this game makes it an instant classic for the SNES. Not only is Dracula in the game, but you also face De... Read Full Review

    Absolute fun!

    By Shadow4eva13 | Review Date: Aug 14, 2006 | SNES

    No matter what anyone else says this game is NOT to be compared to today's games. They obviously don't compare. I think that this game really does live up to the hype everyone put around it. I just completely love playin... Read Full Review

    Simon Belmont vs. Dracula...Who will win?

    By ECastNYM08 | Review Date: Jun 05, 2006 | SNES

    Since I was a baby, i have taken joy in watching my father play this game. Although he may not have beat the game, he could get so far. This game is probably my favorite game of all time. Simon Belmont of the Belmont fam... Read Full Review

    Castlevania at its absolute best.

    By TheSerafen | Review Date: May 23, 2006 | SNES

    Super Castlevania IV was one of the few games that made me want a Super Nintendo. I was perfectly content on just having a Genesis, but there were some games I knew would only be available on the SNES. It usually only ... Read Full Review

    A game that needed more work on it.

    By MarioDS01 | Review Date: Apr 24, 2006 | SNES

    Well, I like the modern day Action RPG Castlevania games, this game... This game needed quite a bit more work I think. And I will explain each part of the review to you. Gameplay. Well to get it off the bat, the cont... Read Full Review

    No it’s not Symphony of the Night. But it was the first 16-bit rendition of Castlevania.

    By donovad14 | Review Date: Apr 03, 2006 | SNES

    No it’s not Symphony of the Night. But it was the first 16-bit rendition of Castlevania. As everybody who’s ever played a Castlevania game knows a key to the franchises success has been its music and ambient sound. And b... Read Full Review
