Modern or classic forum? Was GBA before PS2? I can't remember. Anyway, move if necessary.
I liked the game overall, but it was too damn easy. Dracula was a JOKE! If you have the cross you can beat all the bosses in a cinch.
Was I the only one who beat this game withOUT using any of the DSS cards? I dunno why, I just played it through plainly. At one point, I leveled up 30 levels or so.
I beat Dracula on level 81... 900 strength 900 everything. I racked up on 71 spiced meat and 99 mega hearts (though I never used more than 2 mega hearts)
Overall, it was a fun experience, but I doubt I'll play it again -- at least not for a loooong time. Game clocked me at 28 hours, but because for so many of them I was focused on leveling up.
Level up = catacombs with Arachne and Grizzly. Killing them up and then down made for like 8,000 points, it was easy to level up.
