5 out of 5 stars One of the best of the series   May 8, 2008

Castlevania II was the first in the series to take the free roaming approach to the game, and does it quite well. Symphony of the Night for the Playstation owes a great debt of inspiration from this game. There are a great many secrets to this game, some of which must be known about to even survive. Other situations can be worked around without knowing the secrets by clever use of the inventory system, a new addition to the series. The boss battles are quite fun, resembling Mega Man and of course the original Castlevania. Also added is a time mechanic, where all the shops close down, the townspeople all stay inside their homes, and all the monsters enter the city much stronger than usual whenever nighttime begins! "What a horrible night to have a curse"

The sounds and music score are on par with most of the rest of the Castlevania series; in short, fantastic. If you are new to the series or were never impressed by other installments of the game, give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed.



3 out of 5 stars castlevania 2   November 24, 2007
  2 out of 4 found this review helpful

This game is the weakest of the old NES castlevania trilogy. This game is only fun if you are a die hard castlevania fan. This game is annoying because it had so many changes from the original and the sequal. The game is more of an adventure game instead of a "kill them all" game. You have to collect items and use those items to do trivial things. There aren't as many ending bosses as there was in the original. The transition from day to night is highly frustrating. Buy this game only if you intend to collect it.


5 out of 5 stars Why was my first review taken off?   April 30, 2006
  2 out of 5 found this review helpful

I first wrote a review praising this game.It was a bit lengthy but went into detail and did not stray off the subject of castlevania 2.I didn't write anything obscene.I guess because my review didn't find any fault with this game,like most of the other reviewers did,then the fine folks at amazon took it off.

I suppose you can't have difference of opinion here.Thanks Amazon,you guys certainly are a great bunch of communists!



4 out of 5 stars music is great   February 9, 2006
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

The music and graphics are great, it is a fun game, but I find a major problem: the secrets are too hard to discover. Oh, so I have to equip Dracula's heart to get the ferryman to take me to where I need to be to continue the game? That makes no sense, and many are the times I've gotten so frustrated with nonsense like this that I end up turning off the game and going to an online walkthrough to tell me what I need to do next. Other than that I think it is a great game, one of the best for NES.
