Castlevania Legends is a rather uninspired game. Sonia is slow and unresponsive, the enemies are lame and poorly drawn, the levels are at times confusing (there are parts where you are plunged into a pit full of zombies for no good reason) and not funny at all. You have some magic spells, but you'll only want to use the one which replenishes all of your life (their use is very restrictive, though). Later in the game you'll find Alucard (to test your strength, no less!), but his game sprite looks more like Don Quixote. And Dracula... Well, Dracula is a demon made of jelly with a dettachable head.
If you haven't played Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, you should buy it instead. It's the best from the original Gameboy trilogy. Legends is also playable, but try not to spend too much money on it.
