Summary: Creepy...
Review: Ok- so when I got this game, I thought it was going to be kind of silly and amusing...I was looking for something fun to play later on in the evening, once the day was through, chores done, etc, and I thought it might be similar to something like the 7th Guest and the 11th hour...Boy, was I wrong! This game, which features Bram Stoker's characters, is beautifully rendered. Game play is smooth- thankfully you get to use the mouse rather than the annoying arrow keys. The graphics are great, and the sounds and music are pretty cool. Rather than just plodding around solving simple logic puzzles, you are collecting clues, combining objects, fighting creatures in an intelligent way and, of course, saving the girl. This game is scary! When you least expect it, something pops out of the darkness- and trust me, there is lots of it here...Try playing late at night, and see if you don't get goosebumps also when you are in the cemetery looking for Dracula's mausoleum...See if you aren't jumpy as you explore the desolate yard of Dracula's Carfax home while the wind is howling, or while you're in the asylum hearing all the mad laughter and mumblings about you ... Gothic without getting too bizzare or obscure! Very neat! A great, entertaining buy!

Summary: A blast, but has a few annoying aspects
Review: Over all, the game was a great game to play. Some of the puzzles made no sense, but most weren't too bad after you figured out the method behind the madness. Dracula: The Ressurection had better graphics, but Dracula2 was definitely more difficult. When buying this game, you got definite bang for your buck.

Summary: Dracula Returns
Review: Take on the role of Jonathan Harker. Search for clues to find the mystery of Dracula's Sanctuary. Asside from a few major problems this game was quite good. I'll go over the problems first: All the data in the game was read directly off the CD, and that data wasn't precached either (read into memory before being used in the game), so a lot of the time the game takes a while to play a small sound, or display an image. That got somewhat annoying, but ignoring 'that' the game was well done.The graphics aren't really as amazing as the box might suggest, but they're not bad either. The story was pretty good, even though there was very little spoken dialogue. I think there was some nudity in the game so younger players beware :-). Some of the puzzles are somewhat discouraging, but if you search every part of every scene thourouhly you'll find what you need. And be sure to try to combine everything with everything else, both in inventory and the scenery.

Summary: An Excelent game for fans of Dracula
Review: The Lord of the Vampires has returned to London in search of Mina Harker in this thrilling sequal to Dracula: The Ressurection. You play as Jonathan Harker on a quest to save his wife from the clutches of Dracula. Witness the adventure as Jonathan uncovers the many secrets of Dracula's life and learn more of the mysterious Dragon's Ring and of a strange and horrible place where Dracula has hidden Mina. You must find her using only your wit and emotional strength. There are challenging puzzles and mysteries that Jonathan must master before he can enter the Final Sanctuary. I give this game five stars for excelent grafics and a plot that emersses you in a mess of myth and lore.

Summary: Not Too Shabby
Review: This game is good to work your gray cells while still allowing for fairly speedy, non-frustrating gameplay. The sound and graphics are quite good...especially for the price. Excellent 3-D gameplay. This is a creepy puzzle game, so if you prefer "shoot, kill, add to inventory" adventure, this is probably not your cup of tea. I really liked it, and it does clearly pull from the novel. (Note: I have a P4 1.7ghz)

Summary: Dracula Schmacula!
Review: This game promised to be a good thing, but like most promises it was meant to be broken. The narrative graphic are beautiful and exciting however the game graphics are not really interactive. It seems as though you are just looking at a picture either up close or far away as you play. I don't like the way you have to move yourself around either, never felt involved. The directional arrows are ambiguous leaving you hanging without knowing why or what you are supposed to do. We were very disappointed.

Summary: Man, hide your neck!
Review: This game was Fantastic! I bought the first one and even though I loved the puzzles, I was disappointed that I breezed through it in only 2 days. Then I got this one...OMG! Talk about running out of the room. Everytime I heard a "growl", that was my que to leave the room and gather myself. LOL! The puzzles were fantasic. The graphics were absolutely realistic. The 360 degree movement was perfect for this game. It allowed you to look everywhere~up especially without moving. (Very helpful) The characters,puzzles, places...and the feelings..all of it..I give it a big thumbs-up!!! Hope there is a third one.
