Bram Stoker's Dracula is game loosely based on the 1992 film of the same name. It was released simultaneously for multiple consoles and while the plot remains largely the same, there are differing styles of gameplay and graphics across platforms. This version of Bram Stoker's Dracula is a platformer where you play as the young lawyer named Jonathan Harker. Harker must free himself from Count Dracula's captivity, follow him to London, and end his reign of terror.

After watching Supergreatfriend's stream of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for Sega CD I became interested in what other crap Sony published based on their two movies. Frankenstein was a weird funny game where The Creature ends up quite literally cuckolding Victor Frankenstein and stealing his wife in the end, so how could I not check out other creations?
Dracula is a platformer that controls weridly well. There's a day-night cycle which is cool, but the level design is the same. It feels like you're playing throught the same level again and again. You pick up limited weapons, and the only difficulty comes from the first boss and the fact that enemies just show up mere frames before you end up hugging them.
That's not a bug, mind you, as they are ghosts and hands from the walls and are clearly programmed to just appear in your path when you least expect them. If those didn't exist and if level design was more varied, it'd be a nice, like, 30 minute romp.
I played the game on normal and the game just booted me out once I beat some weird magnet man creature who tried to suck me into himself saying I have to play on Hard.
No.

Mom, can we have castlevania?
We have castlevania at home
Castlevania at home:
In all seriousness, this was a very dull, uninspired platformer. Movement is surprisingly not terrible, but the sprites and environments are off at best and combat is both boring and confusing. The different weapons were poorly implemented. Full disclosure, I played the game on easy mode because I had no desire to continue slogging my way through it, so if it improves, I wouldn’t know. Somehow, I doubt it.
Just beg your mom forMcDonalds Castlevania.

This was one of 5 games me and my brother had on the master system as kids.
It's pretty neat, and it wasn't until i saw the movie later on that much of it started making sense to me.
The one thing that never made sense however, was why Keanu Reeves' knife sounded like a chainsaw.
