Dracula Unleashed

[evildragon]

So, has anyone actually played this game? It doesn't seem to have been reviewed..

I just got it for my SCD and only started the intro, then saved it.. The acting is a little on the poor side, but the credits intro was faithful to the Dracula movies... (the style)

I rented it when it came out. I don't remember much if any of it.

i just gave up on it.. your character can die so suddenly, and not to mention, my eyes started hurting watching the grainy video..

Your eyes will also feel pain if you try to play Bram Strokeher's Dracula.

then i guess i better burn my recent acquisition of Sherlock Holmes Volume II..

Compared to the FMV shooters and Dragons Lair-esque twitch fests, this was actually an interesting concept back in the day: an FMV adventure game. The problem was the constant trial and error of where to go next and at what time. The inventory use wasn't all that involved, if memory serves: basically show up at a location at the right time and get an item then move on to the next place. If you have the right item, the proper video plays. If not, it bites you in the rear end later.

It's been years since I played it. I think I got about halfway through the second disk when I found out I botched something up a ways back in the game. It was enough to make me stop playing as I didn't have a save going back far enough to fix my mistake.

yeah, the trial and error aspect can be annoying. The acting isn't award winning, but it's campy and atmospheric for the type of "b-movie" genre of horror films. It's an interesting take on an FMV game, and heck, it's spread over 2 disks. Pretty cool.

As for no review on this site for it, that should be fixed here shortly ;)
