Software Reviews of Microids: Dracula III
Customer Review: Do Not Bother
Summary: 2 Stars
This game was a big disappointment. You don't even see Dracula until the end, and even that is not what you would expect. The graphics are good and the speech is fine. But the overall story is terrible. The puzzles do not make sense and are hard to play. If you want to make a game about Dracula, at least have him in it. Customer Review: SO not worth it
Summary: 1 Stars
If you want a game that essentially tells you what to do the whole way, then go for it. If you want a challenge, don't waste your money. Unless, of course, you want to solve an impossible puzzle towards the end of the game where you have to trace a pentagram. If you're off by a millimeter, you have to start over. EXTREMELY frustrating. I have played hundreds of adventure games. This is at the top of my "don't buy it" list. Stick with Dracula 1 and 2.Customer Review: Dracula Mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this game, and indeed it is my favorite Dracula game thus far. The graphics are rather dark, moody but look gorgeous with fairly smooth movement between scenes. The characters were quite appealing and well developed, with non-intrusive voicing. The cut sequences were actually fun to watch and contributed to the over all feel of the game. The controls are pretty much intuitive and completely mouse driven. While the puzzles and clues are challenging, at no point did I feel completely locked out by one of those impossible puzzles.
While I expected a typical Dracula story, the storyline is actually quite interesting-- more along the lines of a murder mystery-- with a priest as the protagonist. I found myself up all night playing because I was engaged in the story and because I fealt that I actually learned a few things about Vlad Tepes and Transylvania. Indeed, it was almost more like reading a book than actually playing a game. I also rather enjoyed having a full text version of Dracula in my inventory.
Customer Review: The title is deceiving
Summary: 2 Stars
The game is "okay", nothing to write home about. I could not wait for the end as I was getting bored. It is about this priest who visits a small town. Dracula is at the end.
I rate this a C-
