VideoChums
The epitome of well-crafted 2D visuals and one of the best soundtracks ever composed
Perfect controls make exploration a joy
Endless amount of rewarding content
Annoying game over screen forces you to reload your save file
Too many temptations exist that can make the game as easy as pie

Nintendo Life
Nails the classic Castlevania gameplay
Varied, lengthy stages
A good selection of enemies and boss characters
Excellent music
Unlockable abilities and two difficulty modes add replay value
A few enemy types don't look that great
Bela Lugosi's inclusion feels wasted

GBATemp
Introduced concepts that later Castlevania games would have.
Great soundtrack.
Decent graphics for the time
Cryptic and unbalanced Badly translated. The game sends you back to the first Town after losing all your lives (you can't obtain more during gameplay and you only have 3) It's quite easy to get lost on the overworld
