Konami's long-running series of Castlevania games makes its debut on the N64. The traditional 2D graphics have been left behind. This is the first Castlevania game with 3D graphics. However the goal of the game remains the same: kick some vampire butt as you battle the evil Count Dracula and his minions in this 3D platformer.The player can either choose to be Reinhardt Schneider (for the traditional whip action) or Carrie Fernandez (who uses magical powers). Both characters have their own story line. A nice feature is the presence of an in-game clock which changes the time of the day (either day or night).Reinhardt & Carrie both appear again in the second Castlevania game for the N64: Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. This one has new layouts for the levels of Castlevania 64.
