Castlevania 2 is a good game if you like grinding hearts(a.k.a. money) out of zombie/enemies,running to a town to buy an item that you need to beat a part of a level and repeating this process over and over and yata yata yata.

If your a fan of the crap kicking hardness of castlevania 1, this game is right in the middle of VERY HARD and TODDLER EASY.They dumbed down the diffuculty from #1 substaintialy. Mainly because on #1 things fly at you from nowhere(a.k.a mudsa heads)and on #2 things are in plain sight.Yes,things take more hits if you dont have the best whip,and even the mudsa heads just sort of got a little less annoying.This game is still good tho.

The most annoying aspects are three very big situations.
1.DAY/NIGHT TRANSITIONS it takes like 10 seconds for a prompt that says "What a horrible night to have a curse." to fade in to the darkness of night.The same crap happens when morning comes.BUT!!!!! this was meant to happen because it raises the enemies attack power. It was meant so that the player would feel helpless some how.Afraid of something they cant explain.

2.WAY TO OPEN ENDED this game has a bazillion differrent dead ends. and the towns folk say stuff that you need a freaking 1890 dictionary to grasp the concept.

3.CHEAP ENEMY LOCATION just like #1 enemies stand on platforms that u need to get on but is thier size.UGHHHHHHH!!


This is still tho one of my favorit games.

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is my favorite Castlevania game of all time and always will be.

You are Simon Belmont with the classic whip, trying to defeat the one who wants to keep the world shrouded in darkness, Count Dracula. As Simon, you go to different towns talking to different townspeople, going to Churches to replenish life, many different mansions to gather the different parts of Dracula. You get many different kinds of whips, including my favorite, the Flame Whip. You also get the classic subweapons like holy water, knife, and cross.

The mansions that you go through have one of the best pieces of music ever in a Castlevania game. As well as the title screen where you input the password and the music Bloody Tears. This game also lets you level up but it's still the adventure game. It's more action and adventure than anything.

The classic Ferry Man is reason enough to own this game. The classic line "I'll take you to a good place, heh heh heh" was one of the coolest things in the game. Along with the lines "What a horrible night to have a curse" at night and "The morning light has vanquished the horrible night" at daylight. I'll never understand why so many people hate this game. I keep hearing "it's not like the original." Oh please! I must be the only person who doesn't compare games and just plays games as their own. Whoever cannot appreciate this masterpiece is just very closed minded.

Oh yeah, there are 3 different endings for this and this game is so much better than 99% of the games out there today. Graphics don't mean a thing, it's the amazing platforming and adventure elements that make this game a must own for Castlevania fans!

If you have never played Simon's Quest, play it! And if you've played it before, play it again! It's one of a kind!!


"What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse!" Ha Ha Ha!

If you were to buy Castlevania 2 on Amazon I would recommend looking up a complete walk-through of the game because there will be some times that you get stuck on something. Thats the deal with this game it keeps you thinking.
