   This is a completely dumbed-down version of Castlevania- Belmont has NO abilities in this! No jumps or charges, no use of weapons like the axe or cross, not even whip-spinning. There is horrible brake when there are more than two enemies on screen at once, which is surprising given how unadorned the game is. It also lacks any kind of level progression like pass codes, so you start at the beginning every release time you play. This is a flat-out terrible game, it is not even worth the few dollars to buy it.

   I don’t know the unenthusiastic reviews of this game; yes, it requires precise jumping and your whip gets downgraded if you get hit but whip upgrades are commonplace enough that you should be able to keep up your upgraded whip throughout the game, as long as you’re not getting hit every 5 seconds. To rate a game poorly because it’s a small hard doesn’t make sense to me. By and large it’s a splendid game; fun and challenging.

   I usualy like Castlevania sports meeting so when I heard of their was one on Gameboy I bought straight away. That was … stupid. But I’ll start with it’s excellent qualities. It doesn’t smell. That’s something, right? Now the terrible. You walk REALLY REALLY slow. You attack REALLY REALLY slow. Everything else goes either as quick or quicker than you. When you jump accross platforms unless you jump at the very edge of you won’t make it. The music is just 6 seconds of sound repeated over and over and over and over… Oh ya, and the graphics look like ….

   This game rocks! The graphics are about a three star, but it’s still a splendid game. It’s pure fantasy. It has everything. It has small, stubby cyclopses that breathe fire, bats, giant rolling eyeballs that blow up when you whip them, floors that raise you to ceilings full of stalectites that kill you, slugs as huge as you, secret caverns, and vikings that throw boomerangs at you. I’m sure there’s more, because that’s only as far as I got. It’s not the simplest game in the world. The bosses are pretty tough, too. Sometimes there’s one huge guy, sometimes there’s hundreds of small guys. Isuggest some of Konami’s Ninja Turtles sports meeting. I’ve only got Fall of the Foot Clan and Turtles III, but there still pretty excellent. Konami is a cool video game company.

   No it isn’t. This is a standard platformer with extremely sluggish control, no secondary weapons, and slow movement. Plus, your whip loses potential each time an enemy hits you. This is a pain. The reduction grace is that you can take a whip that shoots fireballs and the first stage has GREAT music. But that can’t save the game. Even CastleVania fans should steer clear of this one.
