Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

"At the end of the day the game is a blast-through adventure with a few cool surprises along the way and as long as you remember to switch off your console before sunset you should get through it alive."

"...still manages to be a fun and atmospheric, if short... gameplay is basically identical to that in the original game... if you have the Expansion Pak, the hi-res mode makes the game look better than ever... unresponsive feel to the game..."

"The setup is sort of a Transylvanian “Pulp Fiction,” where we see the story unfold from multiple perspectives... Many of the locations come straight out of the first game... The graphics are crisp and sharp, and definitely more colorful than before... control has been cleaned up considerably..."

"...improved graphics, sound, and two extra scenarios featuring the new characters... now-more-difficult scenarios... game looks much more impressive with the use of the N64 Expansion Pak... frame rate is still very jittery, making it almost unplayable..."

"...more of an upgrade...than...a full-blown sequel... features the same floaty control... isn't enough new... visually first-generation... optional high-resolution mode...damn near unplayable thanks to an unforgivably shoddy framerate that's too slow and frustrating..."
