Castlevania The Adventure-Retro Review #5-Gameboy Review #1

At least the box art is cool.,

Good God, this game. Ugh, why now. 
I mean you though uncanny x-men was bad. This is much worse.
I mean that sincerely. I can't believe this game has the audacity to even be a part of the same franchise as such classics like the original Castlevania, and Super Castlevania.
I mean it this is so far the second worst thing I've ever had to review, only behind Wizard of Oz on the SNES. 
What are we waiting for let's get to the actual game.  

Story
Back in the beginning of the gameboys life span a very popular trend was to take a popular NES game and make it portable. Megaman, bubble bobble, and even Mario are a few examples of this.
Sometimes they would be advertised as remakes or completely different game. Since the gameboy had more limitations than the NES they would sometimes have to completely redesign the game. 
Castlevania The Adventure is Konamis attempt to bringing the classic game to a portable system. 
Of course though they had to completely redesign it and make a completely new game. 
I wouldn't mind so much except this game sucks as I mentioned multiple times.
In this game you play as Christopher Belmont and like in the original your goal is to defeat Dracula.
This was made shortly after Castlevania 2 and since konami didn't pay vey much attention to the timeline back then if your trying to play through the castlevania games in chronological order then it might get messy. 
But let's get into the actual game. 

Gameplay
The gameplay here does everything wrong. Christopher moves so slow that it's excruciating. No joke. Because of the slow pace of the game everything just seems so tedious and monotonous. Pretty much all you do in this game is walk around, kill stuff, and occasionally climb up stuff. 
Now yes all you really did in the original castlevania was walk and kill stuff but that game was fast paced and fun, this........this is awfully boring and tedious. 
The controls suck as well. It's just so awkward moving Christopher around. 
Jumping is pain as well. You got to be so precise and it's just awful. Yes, the controls are even 
worse then the original. Way worse. In fact this is probably the worst controlling game in the castlevania series. 
It's also unfair. Sometimes when you are climbing up a rope and eyeball will fall down while your on the rope and you have no time to dodge. But that's only one example. Controls also cause a few cheap moments since Christopher moves so slowly. 
The level design is also bland and boring.
Overall this is a monotonous, tedious and unfair games

Gameplay Score-2.5/10


Sound
The sound is ok. The music in this game is pretty good. Maybe it's not as good as the original but that doesn't matter. 
The music is still good and enjoyable to listen to.

Sound Score-7/10

Graphics

 For a gameboy game it looks pretty good. Nothing to special but it is nicely detailed and looks pretty nice. Doesn't quit capture the gothic feel of the original but I it doesn't matter.

Graphics Score-7/10

Enjoyment

This game was not enjoyable at all. I hated it. From the characters monotonous controls to the poor level design to the cheap difficulty. This game suck. It's awful. Absolutely awful. There just nothing else that can be said about it. Screw this game.

Enjoyment Score-3/20

Overall-19.5/50 

39%.   F

Yeah. This game definitely deserves that score. It only barely got a higher score than a Wizard of Oz. Wizard of Oz had a score of 16/50 which is a 32%(I may be wrong about the score wizard of Oz got as I'm mostly remembering off the top of my head). I'm pretty sure this game would be the same score as wizard of Oz if it wasn't for me giving it higher scores in the graphics and sound category than wizard of Oz. Yeah this game is bad. But it's not wizard of Oz bad. 

With that said thank you for reading and sorry this took so long to post. I've been busy with a few projects for YouTube. 

I may just decide to screw the schedule and post these blog post whenever I finish one, but for now I'll keep trying to get one out every week. 

With that said see you next Friday.
