10 years after release I'm still playing this game, and it has aged very well. The graphics are very well done for the n64, the music is brilliant. The cinematics(although mostly brief) are very epic feeling.I have the LoD version so some of the stuff from the original is different, I intend on getting the original eventually(again) Great story, great gameplay(with some minor irritations,like running through the clockgears with the explosive nitro). One of the best n64 games in my opinion
I LOVED this game, but sadly I NEVER got to this part... I thought it was to damn hard........ and it is, I'm trying to replay it, and I can't get to the castle AT ALL!!!
there are 3 more endings one where malice wants to marry carrie and i for got the other1 for reinhardt but you can in the villa use 2 suncards then 2 moon cards and the origional for carrie i even know how to get their 2nd costumes i had the hame and beat it on all difficulties easy medium and hard reinhardt get simon belmont costume carrie gets 1980s school girl outfit
What an awesome epic ending! Wonderful rowsing music and a brilliant finale; and finally a hint at a love story for once! and a totally important moral too: "As long as we have hope, evil can never defeat us"! Reinhardt for President! man, i LOVE this game!! CV64 4EVER!
For 1999 graphics like these were considered to be pretty good. This was before HD, and this was the first 3D Castlevania. The game seemed to get removed from the series timeline in 2002, but it was added again last year before Portrait of Ruin came out. Hmm, not sure where it fits in though to be honest (I know they recognize Legacy of Darkness more though, especially since Cornell is a character in Castlevania Judgment).
OMG i remember this game, i got it when i was like 10 and i loved it...everything about it...still to this day. my system broked and i never had a chance to see the ending. THANKS SO MUCH..ALL THE FANS LIKE ME OF THIS 1999 64 GAME. I LOVE THE MUSIC THEY HAD ON THIS GAME!!!OMG IT WAS SO GOOD THE STORY, FEEL, AND VIBE.
even though castlevania games gameplay look very much the same, but istill love playing them. maybe the graphic is not so good, but i love the stories and gameplay.
This game had many flaws, but romancing a dead girl and bringing her back to life made up for those. Perhaps they should remake this version of Castlevania with better technology?
Whenever Dracula is killed he reincarnates in a newborn, when the host reaches a certain age Dracula takes control and eventually reverts to his usual form. This usually takes somewhere around 100 years.
@eldedios The very first game in the entire timeline is Lament of Innocence. It takes place in 1094. The protagonist is the 1st Belmont, Leon, as he fights the vampire Walter Berhard to rescue his wife Sara. In the end, Sara sacrifices herself to create the vampire killer, Leon defeats Walter and Mathias Cronqvist, Leons friend, appears and reveals he had orchestrated everything to obtain Walter's soul and convert it into power for himself using the Crimson Stone. Mathias becomes Dracula
I still play the N64 Castlevanias. I love them. I wish there was more with these characters! This was probably the first game when I actually cared for a character... Rosa!
I don't like the 3d Castlevania iterations but this one was the first and in my opinion the best one. It also has some of the best Castlevania music in the series and along with Super Castlevania the best atmosphere.
@NYCPulpHero excellent game! one of my favorites castlevania but I'm stuck in the middle tower or how it is named where you fight with a lot of beast in cages
Wow do people realize this game was released like 14 years ago quit bitchin about graphics
