What Gamespot Users have to say about Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
- Rating:5.1
I was not happy with this game. It's confusing, it's ridiculous, it's long, it's just one big mess-up in my opinion.

This game is completely different from it's predecessor, but in a good way.
This was actually the first Castlevania I ever played and one of the ones I look back on with the fondest memories. Back in the early 90's, my sisters and my friends and I used to rent this game from Blockbuster and pla... Read Full Review
