Finished a run through all the main level endings. I'm going to go through the extra paths tomorrow.
There's not a lot to be said about Dracula X that hasn't already been said. My favorite things about the game are the extra touches everywhere. Enemies that you see only once, background objects that are only used in one location, and such a varied look to the levels really show what the extra storage space on a CD are good for. Yes, CD audio is obviously cool, but when you suddenly don't have to worry about ever running out of space for visual assets you can have room for a ton of interesting looking objects, rooms, enemies, etc. On a cartridge based game you just didn't have space for all the one-off enemies: the plant monster in the first level, the cross in chapel, the one dude who's moving all those rolling boulders from the chains to the ramps, all of the bosses seen looming in the background of levels, etc.
