Rating : 
-------- 
   Graphic 10 : One of the few 256VGA games that actually pushes the VGA 
                capability to the max. The death scenes are ESPECIALLY 
                realistic ( and gross ). 

     Design 8 : Typical RPG game type of design. However, the battle part is 
                purely arcade and therefore brings some more exciting 
                moments into the games. 

      Sound 7 : The Digital sound FX is pretty good. The music gets sorta 
                anonying after a while but it's not that bad. 

Playability 9 : Not all that hard to figure out all of the commands and 
                controls without the Docs. A Mouse is ESPECIALLY recommended. 
                Since it'll be a pain in the butt to move the pointer 
                around with the Keyboard/Joystick. 

      Overall : 8.5 

   Summary : 
------------- 
             They REALLY should put up a warning sign in the beginning for 
         people under 18. The graphic is so realistic that I really felt 
         like puking everytime I die. Yep, it's either my head got chop off 
         with pharnx showing and blood spillig; two gignatic vampire's holes 
         decorate on my neck with again, blood spilling; a bowl of nice, 
         yummy soup with my head floating in it; or two empty sockets on my 
         face with, again, blooding spilling all over. They REALLY made this 
         game into a horror game. Anyway, this is an adventure type of game 
         in which you must save Elvira of something ( despite of her 
         sarcastic comments ). It's a really fun game despite of all of the 
         gross thing that the game is showing. And I just "love" the many 
         imaginative ways that the game make you die, not to mention that 
         the picture of your death is so realistic that you might even barf 
         on your computer and therefore short-circuit it. Must install first 
         prior to gameplay....
