5.0 out of 5 stars An actual original Castlevania plot!, July 10, 2001

I love the castlevania games, but have you noticed the plots seem to always be the same? You always have to go through Dracula's castle and fight Dracula. But in Bloodlines, in the first level, Dracula's castle was already destroyed. You have to go through the ruins. In the next level, you are put in Greece to an Atlantic Shrine. And that's just for starters! Beautiful graphic for it's time mixed with a soundtrack you may see from other games, (the music from the Atlantis Shrine is the same music from the Art Tower in Legacy of Darkness...) if you can find Bloodlines, it is one of the greatest games you will find.

4.0 out of 5 stars An underrated game, not nearly as bad as people say it is., April 4, 2003

[IF THEE HATES THIS GAME, THOU HATH WASTED THY [DARN] LIFE. OH, BTW, I'M A BIG CASTLEVANIA FAN.]
Bloodlines came two years after Super Castlevania IV and while IV has some better graphics and definitely some better sound quality, it has its own merits. Sure, you go kill Dracula... so what? Actually, the plotline itself is a refreshing change from the others. In this one, you can choose to be either John Morris or Eric Lecarde, which allows a different change of pace of having just one character to start off with (faintly similar like Castlevania III for the NES, except in that game you start with just one). The graphics are essentially good for the Genesis, so I have no complaints (YES, they're better than the NES).

Overall? A great game. It may not touch Symphony of the Night, but this game is ESSENTIAL to any Genesis collection. It may be difficult, but it's WORTH IT. Personally, I rank Super Castlevania IV a little higher, but that's just because it's my favorite. Is it better? Judge for yourself. Nevertheless, get it. After all, it IS Castlevania, and you would be depriving yourselves without it.
