Graphics: For being an NES game the graphics are actually rather good. The game has a nice dark atmosphere, well animated characters, and great transitions between the dream monsters and regular monsters.
Sound: The music/sound effects aren't annoying like in almost every NES game. Nothing memorable or special, but by no means one of those games that just makes you want to hit the mute button.
Addictiveness: Well there is none for me. The game lacks any sort of story, the levels are uninspired, and its full of cliché enemies that do nothing but wander back and forth or throw something at you. The difficulty is quite high, while not being the hardest game ever, its merciless. Every enemy takes forever to kill, and you have no manner of health display whatsoever. The bosses are all just boring pieces of Freddy on a chain. The scenes where "Freddy's coming" are terrible, you basically just try to jump over his head and hit him when his back is turned, and repeat this over and over and over. There's nothing here to make me WANT to play this again and again, the only reason I did as a child is because this was one of my few games.
Story: PPPPFFFT. There is no story, no direction, nothing. You just run to the right, jump over enemies and wait for Freddy to come lay the smack down on you.
Depth: While the levels kind of change, they are still the same thing over and over. Jump over spiders, jump on a platform, throw knives at a skeleton because your fist does absolutely nothing.
Difficulty: Oh god. This game is very unforgiving. You WILL die constantly, you will not know when the next hit is going to kill you, and you'll have loads of moments where your punch hits the enemy and does nothing, or your knives, or you wont jump when you press the button. Those are SOME of the bugs in the game, which although they are bugs, contribute greatly to the difficulty.
Overall: Well the average from those scores is about 3.8, but honestly this game is a 1/10. It has nothing to keep you interested, nothing to bring you back, and its full of infuriating bugs and boring monsters.
