Looking at all these positive reviews, I can't help thinking that everyone else must have been playing a different game to the one I got.

The graphics are okay, the sound effects strange, the voice acting awful, the cut scenes unbelievable, the translation dodgy and the hidden object scenes too few (plus translation issues don't help here either). The plot was B-movie at best, and I actually found Sinister City more enjoyable than this - at least I got some laughs out of that one! The ending of Dracula's Legacy makes very little sense to me, but then much of the game was illogical anyway in my opinion.

I didn't experience any real bugs although there were times when an area would continue sparkling after I was done with it, making me think I had to go back and do something else there. There is no journal or notebook, as you might find in some other games, to remind you what your objectives are. However, the game does move you on to new areas once you pass a certain point and doesn't allow you to go back, so at least you're not wandering aimlessly around every previous scene looking for items.

I got it very cheap in the Hallowe'en sale, but I still don't recommend it. It was not the cheesy fun I expected, but more slap-your-forehead illogical and frustrating. I got through it, but I won't play it again - I feel like the majority of it was a waste of my time and I could have been doing something much more fun, like watching paint dry.
