The final game in the NES trilogy that has some of the best graphics, 
sound, and gameplay I've ever seen for this system. I remember the 
first day I got it: Christmas '90 (I think) my aunt got it for me I hadn't 
even heard it had come out, but here I was with it in my hands. I just 
had to play it 

Graphics 9 out of 10

the graphics were awesome (for a NES game) with bats and candles 
and all other manner of creatures with great movement and many 
frames of movement. The only downfall for the game was that it 
was on the NES and that too many sprites on screen would slow 
movement. Backgronds quite good, especially the clock tower with 
all the moving cogs and gears

Music and Sound 8 out of 10

Although the NES was never known for its arcade sound the first 2 
games had much better background music and sounds. one reason for 
this was probably the lack of info to put the songs on because of 
the greater No. of levels sounds and characters. Considering the 
space of memory available the cartridge was probably jammed 
with all they could fit on there

Game Challenge 10 out of 10

with multiple paths and character morphs the game had all the elements 
and more of a classic game. I still play it and compared to some of the 
newer games where it seems like all they do is find any old story line 
and couple it with the latest trend in graphics and sound.

Overall 9.7 out of 10

My all time favorite NES game.
