Oddly enough this oversight is one of my most cherished memories of the game because such imperfection personifies the game to a tee.
DRACULA RESURRECTION SOUNDTRACK PROFESSIONAL
Personally, I can’t help but be amused that a professional artist with the skill of Ayami Kojima would overlook this it reminds me of the final scene of Bettlejuice when the titular character’s head is shrunk with pixie dust after butting in line. Look at the size of Hector’s head in relation to the rest of his body. At a glance there doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with this kickass picture of Hector, but as you start to examine this piece of artwork you may start to notice that the body proportions are off. If you have access to a copy of the game (the NTSC version) take a good look at the front section of the jacket. I know you’re never supposed to judge a book by its cover, but in this case the cover’s quite telling. That being said, I don’t have a clue how you function but I’m glad you do.Īs curious as it sounds, I should have known what I was getting into with Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. Being erected out of various structures and not representing anything close to stability you embody that arts and crafts project I just mentioned. Come to think about it, I take back what I said earlier. Dynasty Warriors? You can do that as well only without with the massive mobs and framerate dips. Pokemon? Yeah, we can do that only we’ll call them Innocent Devils and make them so unbalanced they break the game. Almost every prior Castlevania release had some sense of place and purpose yet you were a perplexing amalgamation of spare parts barrowed from the strangest places. Playing a big part in this confusing equation are my thoughts that you have no identity. At least you’re not being used as a coaster or elected to be a part of some cobbled together arts and crafts project. Even now you sit on my shelf, collecting dust and decaying, never to be touched again. You’re not worth my attention and you know it. Every time I boot you up I can’t follow through. I know you’re no good for me yet my memories remain. It’s like an acute case of Stockholm Syndrome. As a game I’ll never understand what bonds me to you. The truly deluxe packaging includes a 2-CD set, a 36-page book and a 12-page booklet all in a beautifully designed Dracula slipcase box.Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. Due to its own unique assembly, which represents John Williams' own album vision from 1979, we have included a newly-mastered-from-a-new-source presentation of the originally soundtrack album as Disc 2. This is a very important resurrection! Mike Matessino undertook the new 2018 mix of the score. He admittedly has so many but he certainly captured the mythical Count in a darkly romantic and seductive way.įor this Deluxe Edition we have expanded the original 36:00 album selection to a whopping 72:00, including cues not heard in the final cut of the picture. Dracula features one of John Williams' most brilliant and iconic themes. It was a magical time and this was another masterpiece. The Fury, Jaws 2 and Superman all from 1978. There were Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind in 1977. John Williams was absolutely on fire at this time. John Badham directed this 1979 telling of Dracula's tale.
