It is mouse controlled, only using one keystroke to access saving, loading, etc. Controls and cursorsĭracula (resurrection) is a first person game with some third person cut scenes showing Jonathan acting out your commands.
They are superb, almost caricatures, with clearly defined features in minute detail and eyes that tell their own stories. A creaking cupboard door in the Inn will send shivers up your spine if the characters haven't already started it a-tingling! And the character graphics have to be seen to be believed.
So eerie, they do an exceptional job of building up the atmosphere and are aided by an impressive, if intermittent, soundtrack and generally very good voice acting and sound effects. The wind whines, a real portent of danger and almost pushes you inside where you, as Jonathan, begin your quest.ĭarkness is a theme of this game, you never do get to see daylight, and the graphics are exceptional, playing around with shadows and shades of black and silvery-white with smudges of muted colours. Adventuring after darkĪs you gain control the misty moonlight picks out the shape of the Golden Crown Inn before you and the leafless trees cast their eerie shadows across the gleaming snow. It's a promising beginning, and it only gets better.
DRACULA RESURRECTION SOUNDTRACK MOVIE
The introductory movie is excellent crisp, clear and chilling, and the use of letters (following Stoker's original) as a story telling device altogether sets the scene for Dracula (resurrection). Jonathan scribbles a note to his friend, Seward, keeping him up with the news and immediately heads off on the trail of his wife where you will direct his next hair-raising adventure. In her letter Mina explains how she was overcome by an irresistible urge to return to Transylvania and had no choice but to set off right away. He arrives home one evening to find Mina missing and a letter waiting for him. The game begins seven years later when Jonathan's worst fears are confirmed. or does he? Though the puncture marks fade on Mina's neck Jonathan isn't convinced that his vile foe is gone forever. Dracula's fate is sealed as he fizzles in a burst of flame.
At that precise moment the sun rises over the horizon and lends a helping hand. He is immediately set upon by Quincey and Jonathan but doesn't succumb to their measly weapons. The sled draws near and comes to a halt as shots are fired. The landscape is thick with snow and Jonathan, Quincey and Mina are huddled behind a snowdrift waiting to ambush the sled that is transporting Dracula back home from England.
