Ah, Super Castlevania IV. Like most people, after seeing the AVGN review, I decided to give this game a try. It was AWESOME!!!

The graphics really demonstrate what the Super Nintendo can do, and were really kickass for their time. The music was so catchy (Simon's theme was great) and the sound was good, but can get a little annoying.

Of course, you have to talk about the improvement of the controls. Now you can whip in all eight directions, instead of strictly left and right. You can also hold down the button and mess around with the D-Pad, causing Simon to just swing it around like an idiot. And, finally, you can use your whip for a grappling hook for those hard-to-reach jumps.

Now, Super Castlevania IV is a little easier than the Castlevania games on the NES, but this one is still hard! Thanks to a password, I managed to get to Dracula right away, but, holy damn, was that hard! His fireballs were so damn annoying!!! So, I would recommend cheat codes. They helped me see anything past level 3!

So, Overall, Super Castlevania IV is a great game. A little difficult, but if the Nerd can beat it, so can you! Definitely give this one a try!
