This game is a master piece , the gameplay , THE MUSIC, it brings back memories i put a lot of time into this game as a kid , i wonder why they never made a sequel that was as great as this one !
This game is decent. Got lots of memories playing it with a childhood friend back in 99-2000 or so. Really loved this game back then. But it's the weakest 3D Castlevania to me. Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness, and LoS are better games. I'm waiting for the next 3D Castlevania...
@@viniciusbertucci I remember seeing the game at the library when I was in 9th grade which I thought about getting. 1999 - 2000. Due to the price (50), I don't feel I would have enjoyed it seeing the gameplay now.
@@majinsnake Yeah, I mean, It's not terribly bad, but the only reason I watch these gameplays is out of nostalgia. This childhood friend and I used to play this game every weekend, for long hours during the night. It was hard for us! Especially on the chainsaw guy part in the garden, which always freaked us out. I happen not to see this old friend for almost 16 years now, so everytime I watch gameplays of this game, it reminds me of him.
I remember playing this game once, but I don't remember getting even as far as the first 10 minutes of this playthrough... the reason being that I probably was scared shitless!
another dumbass who just goes with the stream : ) "castlevania 64 graphics are shit" "shitty game" etc.. etc, play the fucking game and enjoy it, stop bitching about graphics of game made 20+ years ago... its a great game in the series
Hot take. This game is not as bad as people make it out to be. It does look pretty dated by today's standards, but you can tell a lot of ambition went into the project. It actually kinda reminds me of Dark Souls in a weird way. It also does some unique things with the Castlevania formula that haven't been done ever again, like the slight puzzle elements. Maybe it would be better if it was out on the Playstation instead. Still tho. A modern remake of this game would be absolutely fantastic. Cuz this game has potential. Like a diamond in the rough.
Despite this being an old comment I will say that, The puzzle elements have still been there since Harmony of Dissonance. Sotn, aria of sorrow, hod, Rondo of blood etc, willl always be my top favorites. But one cool thing is that the 64 games, use Vampires as a common opponent, instead of a boss battle in very few games. Unfortunately this still isn’t the game that the Devs intended.
It looks old more than dated to me. The graphics are crisp and there is no bothersome flickering. Characters are clearly distinct and have dignified expressions. Animation is good. Environments are pretty. It is an aesthetic that won't come back and is neither better nor worse than what we have today.
I'm not going to lie: I was shocked when I saw Rosa pouring blood on the "white roses" at 36:50. Konami knew how to surprise their gamers even back in the N64 days. You really have to give them credit for their hard work.
Bruh the times to meet NPCs was epic this game was ahead of it’s time. Wasn’t appreciated as much as it should have and got the hype it should have. Even the one where you can play as a werewolf was dope it came out shortly after vania 64 same game but alittle diff.
I remember not being able to save my progress, and my dad liked this game too, so he went out and got a cartridge just to save the game. I remember that part where you have to enter some numbers to progress and I guessed it correctly, and he was so shocked. I this it was 4 2 6 or something like that. The nostalgia has me rambling. Lol
Zelda, banjo, this, battle tanx global assault, James bond golden eye, spider Man, starbwars battle for naboo, starbwars rouge squadron, and others, I miss them all very very much, (crying)
I remember buying this game for my 64 , the year 2001 couple of years after it came out For $12 at blockbuster The adventure playing this game was so much fun I think because of work and family time it took me 1 year to finish it but worth it, I still have this game.😊
Played this as a teenager and the maze garden always creeped me out, specially at night! If I ever play this game again I'm sure I'll never enter it at night!
One of my best childhood memories... I think the reviews happened after the N64 era (unless maybe magazines existed with reviews?). People played it later on and maybe it just seemed outdated. You just had to be there when it was new to have an appreciation for it. Everyone I knew at the time loved it... even adults that were into gaming (which was less seen back then).
@@matthewdavis5486 that and according to the AVGN the camera didnt like to cooperate and a couple of puzzles were a beginner's "restart the game" traps if it werent for those flaws i think it would have been a much better game to critics and audiences alike. Ive never played any of the castlevanias myself as i do not own any of them but i love horror games that allow you to fight back unlike amnesia or slender man those were only good for watching other people flip out and laugh at them hysterically 😂
It's funny that this game gets Dracula closer to the original than any of the movie adaptations. Like in the book Dracula is a megalomaniac, not some misunderstood romantic.
Ahhh, I remember when I was 7, my parents had gotten me a box of n64 games. We put this one on, and once it got to 3:47, I ran out of the room and told them to turn it off LOL. That skeleton scarred me.
Thanks for this HQ upload! I still love this game so much even though it’s often infuriating. Constantly fighting that damn camera, and jumping on platforms is much more clunky than it should be. This game REALLY scared me on many occasions- 47:26 _especially_ this chainsaw-wielding Frankenstein-looking dude in the hedge maze!!! Ugh! I still remember how nervous it made me when there was no music. Just his footsteps and those freakin’ growling demon dogs! 😳 I was only 12 when this came out, and I bought it on my birthday. I had no idea, that apparently Carrie is also 12. Wow. What a little badass! She goes off all by herself to kill monsters that are at least 5 times bigger than her, and conquer the prince of darkness using homing-missile magic orbs thingies and little ring decorations attached to her skirt? lol I’m glad I’m not the only one that CONSTANTLY jumped the entire playthrough. It’s the only way to get around faster. But, damn that’s a hard habit to break when you have that liquid nitro and you CANNOT, JUMP, fall or get hit or it’ll explode. 1:35:51 😖 This game was HARD, and often frustrating, but I still love it. Great soundtrack, too. I still listen to it. ❤️
I got to the part of Castle Center where you have to blow up that second wall with the Nitro and I NEVER got any further than that. That's why I'm watching this so I can actually do it myself if I ever get to play again
I loved this game as a kid. I don't understand what all the hate is about. Like this game NAILS the creepy atmosphere and it's tense as hell the entire time and the levels are really big and fun to explore. Like the sound alone is fantastic in this game.
If there's one thing this game does NOT lack, it is atmosphere. It has loads of that. I also did not know the games narrator is also the guy who announces ship name and weapons in Gradius Gaiden as well.
His name was Ramsay Scott McCullough he was a voice actor who lent his voice to many video games during this time period, including Chris Redfield in the original Resident Evil. Sadly, he died in a traffic accident in 2000.
Symphony of the Night will ALWAYS be the best Castlevania game in my opinion, BUT I can’t deny that this game is a beloved and cherished piece of my childhood and I will never forget it.
Watching this in 2022 because elden ring unlocked a childhood memory of my older brother renting this game at the video store, but with no memory card, we couldn’t turn off the n64 otherwise we’d have to start all the way from the beginning. My sister loved the violin in the menu.
The castlevaina game that started it all for me in the 3d versions of the franchise. Castlevania 64, Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness will always be my favorites.
I couldn't get enough of the roast beef when the chainsaw guy in the maze was chasing me, I'd almost have a heart attack and not to mention caring the fuckin Nitro!!! I must have blown myself up a million times hahaha.
GG the maze level had me lost so many times as a kid... but it also had me grow an affinity for hedge mazes and i was really hoping lord of shadows would see a larger scale return of that nightmare
Don't understand the hate this game gets. It's not SOTN but almost nothing is. This game plays exactly like Castlevania 1 in 3D but with Castlevania 4's atmosphere. It probably comes the closest of any game to capturing the feel of the old Hammer Dracula films the series is based on.
I made the mistake of choosing easy mode for the sake of making this infamous game less of a hassle, not realizing the game ends halfway through if you do. After the nitro/mandragora section there's no way I'm replaying this game.
This was a good game that unfortunately required Memory Pak to save progress. Because of that I could never beat it in the console, but did it in the emulator
I did beat this game on an emulator as well but it's not the same as when you actually beat it on the console. To me it's all about having the complete set or original set.
True, I mean, Reinhardt Schneider and Carrie Fernandez???? Where's the Belmonts, Adrian Farenheights Tepes (aka. Alucard), Sypha Belnades, Grant Dynasty, and Maybe, Maria Renard. 🤔
I remember as a child playing this game I was creeped out by it never touched it until my teenage years and I finally passed it but good memories though
As a kid, I found this game both really funny & really scary. I want to play this again so bad but my N64 died ages ago lol. Only really to finish it for good. Never managed to beat the game as Reinhardt. Carrie was my "main" every time.
I grew up playing this game and it took me ten years to find it again, get the console and the game and I play it all the time now. I learned how to play this game because my uncle played it all the time. I love the music in this game, the narrator is amazing, I love this game with all my heart. I honestly wonder what it would look like if Konami did a complete remake of this original game with better graphics. But I still love all the graphics, sound effects and technology that makes this game very enjoyable even to this day.
So every weird and fantastic enemy in the fictional world of castlevania is acceptable, but a skeleton on a motorcycle not? For a game that takes place in the 19th century, a motorcycle it's not even farfetched since theHildebrand & Wolfmüller was invented in 1894. Look it up. Other then that, the game has enough problems.
I think having a bunch of skeletons on motorcycles isn't really the reason why people dislike these games. It's just a easy way to say "this game sucks". If it was a great classic, the motorcycle thing was taken for a grain of salt.
I don't think it's as bad as people say. Legacy of Darkness is the better version and isn't that much different then other action/horror games from that era that had the same issues with camera and controls. What I call a bad game is more like Superman 64, Daikatana and Carmageddon on N64. Castlevania 64/LOD has enough strong elements like story and good atmosphere. Sure the music isn't as iconic as SOTN or SC4 but it's a different kind of soundtrack. More ambience and atmospheric. These games are not one of my all time favorites for sure. My favorite castlevania is still Super Castlevania IV. But C64 isn't bad either. It's easy to step on the bandwagon and call something bad only because it has a bad rep. Tomb Raider had clunky controls but that's a classic game right there.
I played this years ago, before the twin towers fell I think… and watching this feels like yesterday but so long ago… it’s so strange and uncomfortable
Fun fact, the narrator is none other than Scott McCulloch, the original VA for Richter Belmont in SotN. Which means that Richter himself is narrating the events of C64. And if we’re going by dates, Richter would be 79 years old.
I remember playing this game, I was always so thrilled! Never seen a thing like that before in that time. Although I also remember turning off the N64 cause of that lightning at the beginning lol
1:43:16 all I could think to keep shouting during the giant zombie bull fight was ‘eat some meat, dammit!’ You sure do know how to keep the suspense going!! 👍🏻👍🏻😱
Just remake this in Switch/3DS/PSVita, repair the camera and whip controllers, replace the motorcycles with zombie horses, add more areas and bosses and Voilà! You've got one of the best Castlevania games of all time.
If you ever have the chance to play it, jump straight to the prequel "Legacy of Darkness". It has CV64's playable characters as unlockables to play through their story modes. Some level layouts have changed, though. Reinhardt's Duel Tower ha a save point and the pillars in Carrie's underground waterway are bigger, while the silent forest is different from the original. New bosses and levels were also added. So, if you havn't watched it, yet, go watch a playthrough for Cornell and Henry from Legacy of Darkness. ;)

That paper unfolding gave me flashbacks.
That’s one of my favorite all time sound effects.
Definitely
One of my favorite video game sounds!!
this remains on my top 3 list of childhood games to this day. such a beautiful and dark game. love love love the watering of the white roses
Literally, the sound design in this game is mesmerizing. Pitch perfect.
Man, this game has some sick cinematography
6:07 I remember that you could watch the skeleton drop down and swim away
I used to do that lol
This game, Zelda and Banjo were my favorites when i was a kid...
Ty for the play Tsunao and cubex55 P)
i laughed at 2:25:21 when dracula called Carrie "imbecile" hahaha
Played by: Tsunao
This game, Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, and the Rugrats game were insanely fun as a kid

That satisfying sound of the footsteps. Good all times I guess!
when i was 8 i turned the n64 off on the chainsaw part and never played again.
Yeah totally fucked with me too. Brought back horrors when they did it in Resi 4!!
saaaame. i'll never forget it too. scariest thing i've seen my whole childhood.
i used to get goosebumps when i enter the mansion i get scared and never finish ahead after meeting the merchant with the cross
Played this as a teenager and the maze garden always creeped me out, specially at night! If I ever play this game again I'm sure I'll never enter it at night!
the fact you made it pass the big spooky skeleton means you're cool then me

daaaaaamn, the *final battle against True Dracula's Second form is like a World War 3* !!!!
By far one of the best games I have ever played
My childhood feels incomplete because I never beat this game… mostly because I didn’t have a memory card back then
If they can make a Proper Remake of this game with extra levels/dungeons and scarier jump scares like off of Silent hill PT demo this would be dope
Watching this in 2022 because elden ring unlocked a childhood memory of my older brother renting this game at the video store, but with no memory card, we couldn’t turn off the n64 otherwise we’d have to start all the way from the beginning. My sister loved the violin in the menu.

This is the kind of gameplays I love!!, the ones with no one talking shit just the pure sound of the game,

Can we all please take a moment to enjoy when the camera points straight down at 32:52
?
I played this game so many times when i was a little kid. I love it.
The castlevaina game that started it all for me in the 3d versions of the franchise. Castlevania 64, Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness will always be my favorites.
How about Castlevania NES 1-3, Rondo of Blood, Bloodlines, Super Castlevania, and Judgement for Wii??
I always only played this on very rainy days for the vibes as a kid😂
Most fans hated this Castlevania but personally it's my favorite Castlevania game of all time
Cz they didnt play the game when they were children
This was my favorite Castlevania!
This was the first Castlevania game I ever played. Loved the creepy atmosphere. The controls where terrible when jumping on platforms.
I couldn't get enough of the roast beef when the chainsaw guy in the maze was chasing me, I'd almost have a heart attack and not to mention caring the fuckin Nitro!!! I must have blown myself up a million times hahaha.

Bruno Bahia my dad just found the copy of castlevania, but i don't have a memory pak, I'll be awake for awhile lmao
Yeah it sucks... However it's possible to beat the game in one take *pushes up nerd glasses*
I did beat this game on an emulator as well but it's not the same as when you actually beat it on the console. To me it's all about having the complete set or original set.
Same here. Until i got a memory pack i would try to get as far as i could
I beat the game. Lol. We just never cut off the system. It stayed on for weeks
When the only things u can remember from this game was going on a hallway and dying about a billion times..
I'm just glad the game designers knew that Dracula lived in Wallachia and not Transylvania.
Coming back to comment 5 years later.
See nope, right at the 4:32 mark I would have turned the game off and put on something less terrifying lol xD
I loved this game growing up!! I’d buy it for sure if they ever remastered.
A remake would be EPIC!!!!! For the switch, the violin is so hauntingly good.... 😍
The story, gameplay, characters, stages, the music, and plots and twists were epic in this! It’s a classic, though non cannon.

So every weird and fantastic enemy in the fictional world of castlevania is acceptable, but a skeleton on a motorcycle not? For a game that takes place in the 19th century, a motorcycle it's not even farfetched since theHildebrand & Wolfmüller was invented in 1894. Look it up. Other then that, the game has enough problems.
@@Stefandorf it's pretty far fetched theres 94 years without a motorcycle then 6 years with them
I think having a bunch of skeletons on motorcycles isn't really the reason why people dislike these games. It's just a easy way to say "this game sucks". If it was a great classic, the motorcycle thing was taken for a grain of salt.
@@Stefandorf it just sucks I dont really know what but it just feels bad and looks bad and smells bad and tastes bad and sounds bad
I don't think it's as bad as people say. Legacy of Darkness is the better version and isn't that much different then other action/horror games from that era that had the same issues with camera and controls. What I call a bad game is more like Superman 64, Daikatana and Carmageddon on N64. Castlevania 64/LOD has enough strong elements like story and good atmosphere. Sure the music isn't as iconic as SOTN or SC4 but it's a different kind of soundtrack. More ambience and atmospheric. These games are not one of my all time favorites for sure. My favorite castlevania is still Super Castlevania IV. But C64 isn't bad either. It's easy to step on the bandwagon and call something bad only because it has a bad rep. Tomb Raider had clunky controls but that's a classic game right there.
This game is so scary,I love it so much ❤
I played this years ago, before the twin towers fell I think… and watching this feels like yesterday but so long ago… it’s so strange and uncomfortable
2:29:20 Carrie's like I have to fight that? FML
Best video game of all time, period.
yobaseen21 Right!
Yea!!!
Bloodlines and IV were better in my opinion
cant compare 2d games with 3d, its a totally different experiencie
Meh, its ok.
the vampire woman scared me to DEATH
Fun fact, the narrator is none other than Scott McCulloch, the original VA for Richter Belmont in SotN. Which means that Richter himself is narrating the events of C64. And if we’re going by dates, Richter would be 79 years old.
The skeletons have the same audio sample they use for Spinal in killer instinct lol
I remember playing this game, I was always so thrilled! Never seen a thing like that before in that time. Although I also remember turning off the N64 cause of that lightning at the beginning lol
I remember how scary it was playing as a kid. Sh*t got real at night 😂😂
Lol 🤣 👍
the closing theme of the necronomicon is so much more satisfying in this than in "legacy of darkness".
That vampire woman got me lmao! 51:45
1:43:16 all I could think to keep shouting during the giant zombie bull fight was ‘eat some meat, dammit!’ You sure do know how to keep the suspense going!! 👍🏻👍🏻😱
Just remake this in Switch/3DS/PSVita, repair the camera and whip controllers, replace the motorcycles with zombie horses, add more areas and bosses and Voilà!
You've got one of the best Castlevania games of all time.
lol yeah sure "of all time" lol
Or at least bring the original game to the Switch Online Service Expansion Pack
I remember I couldn't play this game as a kid cuz I was too scared. I wish Nintendo would re-release this for the Switch.
Switch released a collection, its not on it?
@@k-dogg9086 I have no clue, but I’m gonna check it out now.
@@JuniAku yes let us know too
@@k-dogg9086 it is not available on The Switch collection 🥲
@@JuniAku oh too bad!
This game takes place in 1852, but they have skeletons on motorcycles.😂😂. ah. the logic
HBNSR Reacts dracula has sciences you couldnt even fathom!
You sure it wasnt 1952? Cuz then it would
The Angry Video Game Nerd even pointed that out
Hence the term “fantasy sci-fi”.
It was a skeleton from the future
Bro the beginning especially with the closing of the book omg!!!
I loved this game! Definitely getting a 64 this year.
This game freaked the hell out of me as a kid. Everything about this game was pure nightmare fuel to me
I really missed this game, The best game of vampires ever! I wish I could play it again on the Nintendo Switch
get an emulater on your smart phone
This,Mario 64 , wave race and 1080 all remastered for switch. I wish
No way!!!! Haha!! This game is trash.
wow. look at that pasted-on moon. couldn't they have trimmed the black borders?
Underrated.
This game looks awesome. I missed out on this sort of stuff because I was a PS1 owner as a youngster.
If you ever have the chance to play it, jump straight to the prequel "Legacy of Darkness".
It has CV64's playable characters as unlockables to play through their story modes. Some level layouts have changed, though. Reinhardt's Duel Tower ha a save point and the pillars in Carrie's underground waterway are bigger, while the silent forest is different from the original. New bosses and levels were also added.
So, if you havn't watched it, yet, go watch a playthrough for Cornell and Henry from Legacy of Darkness. ;)
@@Externica that sounds awesome! Didn't know they brought it back on Legacy!
This is one of my favorite Nintendo 64 games I absolutely LOVE it ❤
i would love this game on nintendo switch i would paly it all day
