Castlevania (Nintendo 64) - First Impressions

Castlevania for the N64. Very interesting so far, though hard to tell with a game of this type in a short video.

I'm shamlessly ripping off Atarix777's review style here.

Why couldn't they just stay to the 2D formula why?!!

You remember when 64 came out, everything made the jump to 3d, that was their whole big deal about the system in general!

This game is probably in my list of top 10 worst games ever! I think it's atrocious. I've always liked atarix's video layouts. You should change it up a little bit though. At least a font or something. lol

Castlevania IV is my fave by far so this let me down, but actually I do enjoy it looking back at it. It seems like it appears more Castlevania than the new 3D one coming out! That at the moment looks like it could be anything, not just Castlevania.

The new one looks alot like God of War, to the point that to me it seems like a tremendous ripoff. Not that I think Konami can't work with that formula, there are just too many GoW ripoffs coming out.

Hahah yeah I actually didn't realize until I put it up this is either the same font or real damn close. I haven't played long enough to place it as a worst, but why does it get so much flack? On the wiki it says it received positive reviews when it came out.

Guys Give the Castlevania games on N64 a break...For us who really love Castlevania The N64 once where pretty good ....Just kinda unusual jumpin to 3d and all ^^ just leave them alone i think they where great :D

[erwillrockn]

it was one of my favorite games back in 1999 still dont get why people say it suck they propably never play it.

yeah I remember like megaman,superman lol but mario64 wow hit it right on the spot

[goldengirlsben]

I agree. The trailer for it is "movie" like, and has famous voice actors. To me, that isn't really Castlevania. Visually looks good, and good, but it doesn't strike me as Castlevania, especially the large trolls. People moan about castlevania 64, but I think it feels atmospherically like castlevania. Not sure the new one really will. Still, I'll be open minded until then...Look out for Castlevania Rebirth on Wiiware at some point..should be good!

Personally I think 4 is the best, a lot better than the prevous 3.
