Product Description
Dracula: Origin reveals the origins of the Dracula curse – that of a man tortured by the loss of a woman he held more precious than anything. He was offended because she would rather kill herself than give in to him. Slowly, the thirst for vengeance has done its work, turning the ardent defender of Christianity into a hardened servant of the Demon. Dracula begins celebrating terrifying satanic masses involving terrible atrocities. He was still alive, still human, until the day he drank his rival’s blood and then made a pact, sealed for all eternity, which made him the first vampire.

I think this game would have been a lot of fun. But I got part way through, then saved what I had, and went to bed. When I went to continue playing, it said I had a game COPY, and would not let me play any further.
If you read page 3 of the Dracula booklet, it clearly states that some computers have this problem with this game!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I had to open the box to read page 3. So I have a game that I cannot play.

the graphics on this game were fine, nothing spectacular. picks up on stoker’s story line with its own twist, puzzles were easy to semi, nothing hard although some just don’t seem to be needed. overall i gave this game 3 stars because it was interesting at times and i love vampire games.

I have read a few reviews about Dracula: Origin on other sites that simply don’t do this game justice. From beautifully constructed and colored screens to good voice acting to haunting original music – this adventure gives everything to you and more. The adventure game genre seems to have taken a back seat lately to first person combat shooters and hack and slash bloodfests, but I really think Frogwares (the creators of the recent Sherlock Holmes series including The Silver Earring, The Awakened, and Nemesis) is making a valliant effort toward rejuvinating this part of the industry. Do yourself a favor and don’t miss this game!

This game is similar to most adventure games that are out there and if you are into these games, like I am, it is well worth it. Some of the puzzles were a little hard for me so I had to cheat and use the walkthru. The game was fun to play and had a good story line to it. It was well worth the price that I paid for it.

I absolutely adored this game, it was one that kept me interested and challenged me to an extent that I thought I might give up. I loved this game but I did have a few minor issues with it. At first I bought the game just because it looked very intriguing I was beyond astounded on the graphics on the cover I thought “Wow this game will probably suck with the graphics at an all high” I started playing and noticed how I am such an enormous fan of puzzle strategy games! This game I played it for 2 days straight and beat it finished it. I hated the ending of the game, it was sort of a cliff hanger for me and I can’t wait for the sequel.
Now I won’t suggest this game to people who are very impatient or people who don’t like a decent challenge. This game irritated me a few times for the puzzles can be very difficult to understand if you don’t have an ounce of sophistication in yourself. Some people decided to use things like a walk-through [Which I will honestly say I did a few times but very little] but if you like to be challenged [and I do mean challenged some parts of this game can be very hard] then this is definitely the game for you.
This game was a bit short for me. This is one of the main things I would like to complain about. This game had a magnificent plot and the graphics stunned me. It can get a bit boring and cliche at times but overall it was good. If it was a bit longer I’d be magnificently jubilant, And overall completely satisfied.
Now for the reason I was disappointed, I didn’t even bother to read the back or anything before buying it for that manner, because I thought I was going to play as the oh so magnificent D r a c u l a. This was not the case. You play as Dr. Abraham Van Helsing it was an alright journey with him but his voice irritated me to the point where I thought I would rip out my hair. His voice sounds stale to me but it isn’t much of a bother after about an hour.
This game you have to think with but it’s worth the money. I got this game at wall-mart expecting something incredibly stupid and got out of it a world where Dracula was the worlds worst nightmare and where it was Van Helsing’s duty to stop the Vampire.
If you didn’t like this game try the sequel, you get to play as Dracula next<3;
~~Again Warning this game is a cliffhanger;
