Topic: Belmont's Revenge

[JR]

The thing I like about Gamefaqs is that every user there has done every near-impossible gaming feat there is to do, and with the greatest of ease.


I liked Belmont's Revenge the most out of the GB titles, but it's not the clear-cut winner for me, either. I actually liked Adventure quite a bit, too. I swear I'm not on drugs.

Come on, what is so bad about Adventure? Didn't Castlevania nes had awkward game play, that it got improve only on Castlevania 3 and to get perfect later on Super Castlevania?

It was the first try of game developers to bring Castlevania on a tiny console with many restrictions. I don't find it a bad game and except from the subweapons and a few more speed for the character sprite, on Belmont's Revenge, i don't see many differences. Sure it has a more better and memorable sound track Belmont's Revenge, but Adventure also has nice music!!! Sure Belmont's is more fun to play, but for me, the same goes for Adventure!!!

Final conclusion for me, the only negative that i find, is that the game is very short, only 4 stages!!!

There's nothing awkward about the original Castlevania. It's a calculated experience from beginning to end, meant to be conquered with precise positioning and calm, collected play. The sub-weapons accommodate the bits that feel insurmountable, not that anything actually is. It's a very methodical game, and painstakingly clever in design.

The Adventure has real, substantial problems like input lag and pixel-perfect platforming, but I'm quite fond of it in spite of the potential flaws. You can still learn it, and it's brimming with personality. There are really novel concepts in the level design, like the entirety of stage 3, that have not really been revisited anywhere else in the series.

Belmont's Revenge is of course the realization of the promises made in The Adventure; it truly stands among the series' best, without sacrificing the unique flavour established in its forebearer. I'm really hard-pressed to think of a better Game Boy game. The music shouldn't be able to exist either, but it does, and it's supreme. It's a small miracle in all respects.

Ooh, burn! For the record, no, I was not, your honor.

Same thing with something like Haunted Castle. Not a well-executed game, but I can still have fun playing it.
