If you like the original Castlevania, you'll like this. Nothing spectacular, but pretty good.

I know there's a lot of nostalgia tied up in these games, after all that's what the VC is all about, but I wish people would rate these games just a little more objectively. I downloaded DC based on these reviews. It's pretty cool and will suck you in for a few hours. After that though, it gets old quick. Be warned - there is ONE LEVEL IN THIS GAME. If you can be entertained over and over playing the same level, trying to beat your high score, then maybe this is for you. If not, you'll get bored quick.
