Editorial Review:

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. Take on the role of Professor Van Helsing, who is chasing down Dracula. The storyline will bring you to London, Egypt, Austria and of course Transylvania, the vampire's famous residence. Dracula himself is also on a quest for a mysterious manuscript that will give him the power to raise the dead. Prevent Dracula from finding and using this manuscript, and kill him. You'll liberate the souls of all those who have had the misfortune to cross his path.

Using conventional point and click gameplay, impeccable graphics and a rich storyline, you are led to London, Egypt, Austria, and of course, to Transylvania, in the famous castle of the great vampire. With a subtle combination of 2D environments and animated 3D characters, the game faithfully reproduces the world imagined by the celebrated author Bram Stoker, with all its associated motifs (horror, love, blood, crucifixes, stakes, garlic, etc.), in a disturbing, finely-realized and absorbing Gothic atmosphere.

Faithfully reproduces the world imagined by Bram Stoker in a disturbing Gothic atmosphere



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Love horror
Always love a good horror title, its been awhile for Dracula to finally appear again. Its nice to get back to some classics.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another hit!
If you have played the previous Dracula games this one will not dissappoint you! Stays pretty much to the story line and makes references to the previous games to keep the story going. Nina gets her self into some real pickles! The classic point and click and the investigation keeps you interested in finding out what happens which totally blew my mind! I sure wasn't expecting that! Good game!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - ok
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.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Dracula Review
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.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't miss this game!
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!
