Third Person

"All in all Dracula Origin is not a bad game, it just seems to fall flat in some areas that are important to AG players. The graphics and some really creative puzzles keep you from wanting to put a stake in its heart and burning it. The early chapters were intoxicatingly good. A rich story seemed to be developing, the puzzles and hotspots seemed very fair, and everything oozed Gothic horror. It’s when you get to Egypt that the game seemed to jump the rails. The only thing that seemed to tie it to Dracula in terms of mood was a victim of Dracula. Beyond that, the whole Egyptian portion of this game could have been from a completely different game. I almost felt as though many parts were taken straight from parts of the Indiana Jones movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. Depending on what kind of adventure games you like, you may just find this one a bit more frustrating than it needs to be...and lacking enough substance to make the excursion a memorable one."
