The latest and probably the best in a long line of adventure/horror games featuring vampires. Dracula Resurrection is actually presented as a sequel to Bram Stoker's novel. The opening movie reenacts the climatic events of the 1897 novel as we watch Jonathan Harker attempt to destroy his arch-nemesis. His weapons prove futile, though, and only the rising sun saves Jonathan and Mina, his fiancee, from a life of eternal darkness. Seven years pass, and we watch as Jonathan reads an unbelievable letter from Mina, now his wife. She has been overcome by an irresistible urge, a yearning for the sexual bloodlust of the vampire, and has returned to Transylvania. Jonathan, as we learn through a letter he composes to his friend Seward, journeys to save his beloved, and thus our game begins. This is a very linear, 1st person, point and click, 3D game, with 360-degree panning, an easy to use interface and a small inventory. This game is not focused on the puzzles, but instead the puzzles are treated as only part of and secondary to the story. First and foremost the game is a gothic work of art, true to the spirit of the novel in both the scenery and the characters, and it should not be missed for that reason alone. | ||
