My original review, from 2006:
I had both of these games on my old computer, and loved them. The graphics are outdated, but there are lots of genuinely spooky parts and I liked the puzzles. However, when we switched to an XP computer, "Dracula Resurrection" would load but it wouldn't work. So I bought this double set of the two games and reloaded them onto the XP. Again, "Dracula Resurrection" won't work on XP, even though the package says it does. (Dracula: The Last Sanctuary" works fine.)

Loved the game, graphics, story line, atmosphere and voice acting. I played the first of the two games on Vista and had an occasional problem with dialogue. I'll try the other compatabilty mode next time. Even with an occasional glitch I thought the game was great and look forward to part 2.
