It's not that bad honestly, it is a traditional NES action adventure which most people might consider annoying, but I don't mind them too much. I will say you probably should play the game with a walkthrough nearby because it is really cryptic on what you need to do to beat it. I consider it on par with other NES games like Zelda II, Battle of Olympus, Goonies II, and Rygar.

Plus James has said in the past that Castlevania II is actually one of his favorite games, he just made the video to get a laugh out of his friends who thought he was crazy for liking it.

Yeah people forget he's a form of satire.

I certainly wouldn't say it's a good game, easily the worst of the classic Castlevanias but it's nowhere near being among the worst games on the NES.

It's got some good points, what little music there is is all excellent. It tried some stuff like the day and night cycle at a time when that was new.

But it's downsides definitely drag it down. Still it's a piss easy game and not very long if you know what you are doing. I had fun with it so that's all that matters in the end.
