I bought this without a trial--which I never do. This is the best TM series out there.
Funny, great graphics, smooth gameplay, interesting venues, lots of challenges.
If you're not a vampire fan, don't let the subject matter turn you away. Dracula is a hero--or at least trying to be. (Though without Rufus and the gang, I don't imagine he'd get much accomplished.)
Like game 2 (which found Drac's family and everyone in town entranced by their cell phones), Dracula has to deal with another modern problem common among those of us who still have a heartbeat. This time our "hero" has relatives overstaying their welcome because a mistake from his past is terrorizing the kingdom.
The sense of humor in this series adds a great deal to the enjoyment, and I love how the princess (from games 1&2) is still demanding Dracula fix all her kingdom's problems.
I do think this one was a bit easier than the previous. But I STILL can't get 3 stars on some of the levels of games 1&2, so I appreciated getting them all this time. Though I had to replay some levels a few times to do it.
Hope the developers continue the series. How about Dracula's kids dating? Or his wife dealing with a "mid-eternity" crisis? Or finding Frankie his true love? Just keep 'em coming.
