****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I was always a big fan of the Castlevania series.  I
had heard that this was a classic, so I thought that I would give this game 
a shot. 

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: If you've played any other Castlevania game, then you
know what to expect.  It's more of the same classic Konami goodness.  This 
game is a treat for Castlevania veterans.
Liked: More Castlevania goodness.
Hated: It's really not that much different from the previous games.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: SCIV looks great.  The SNES graphics are much more 
detailed than the 8-bit NES could ever handle.  This game doesn't look as 
good as the PSX SOTN, but it's not that much of a step down.  The graphics 
are hyper-detailed 2-D sprites.
Liked: Great graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: SCIV sounds like a classic horror movie.  The creepy
organ music fits this game perfectly.  The sound fx are really good, as well. 
Liked: Great music.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: SCIV controls nicely.  The controls are easy to 
grasp and are very responsive.  The game design is good, but I wish that this
game was a little more different from the prior versions. 
Liked: Perfect controls.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Nothing.

RIYL: Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Castlevania III: Dracula's 
Curse.  

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Super Castlevania IV is an absolute classic.  Every SNES owner
should own a copy of this game.  If you don't already have this game, go buy
it.
