Vampire Hunter D is a pretty decent game for the Playstation. You will play as D and your mission is to save John Elbourne's daughter Charlotte from Meier Link(head hancho villain) before she turns into a vampire. D has to find keys to access certain areas and solve puzzles too. The graphics are nice for what the Playstation has to offer as well as the music. D gets different power-ups to perform special moves as well as heal himself. Vampire Hunter D has its fair share of blood when taking out the enemies. I have to admit, the bats can be a real pain in the butt. Especially if they are in groups. The game has potential and could have been better, but it's playable and will do fans of the anime justice. I was pleased when I played it recently. This game can be rather expensive at times. I bought this becuase I am a fan of the anime and it is a nice add to my video game collection.Read full review
This game was revolutionary (possibly) for it's time, but however the feel of the game is plain weird. Unlike most games where you hit left and you move left, and right makes you move right, you turn that way. We've seen this kind of movement feature in such games as Resident Evil, and it worked out great because you have a gun. But here, I fear you have a sword. The slow turning rate really defeats the purpose of being capable of easily dispatching foes not because of D's outrageous skill or strength, but because he turns like a rusty screw. Given, there is the capability to dodge, evade attacks, and turn around instantly giving more versatile movement but that is really only one of it's saving graces. Okay, now into the gameplay. You're D, you've been paid a lot of money to go find this man's daughter who has been abducted by a vampire. Your goal is to save her, or kill her if she's beyond saving. This game's storyline follows that of the second anime movie "Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust" but only to about a 60% accurate scale. Keeping in mind this is a very old game: Sound: 7/10 [Fairly Generic, but can't really be helped] Music: 7/10 [Again, pretty generic] Animation: 8/10 [Actually pretty darn smooth, except when his cape glitches through his body] Gameplay: 4/10 [Movement system is fail. Period.] Overall: 6.5 But still. If you're a Vampire Hunter D fan, it's cool just to have it as an art/conversation piece. I mean - who gets to say when someone references Vampire Hunter D, "Yea. I beat that game." Besides, the CD looks downright sexy in it's ultra purple unique glow. Overall, despite how much the movement system really doesn't meet my tastes - or rather anyone's I've let try the game - I think I love the Vampire Hunter D franchise far too much to think this game sucks. May as well try it, it's not that expensive. Go look into the books, and dig up the anime! :DRead full review

I'm a fan of Vampire Hunter D,and was happy they had made a game of it. Control's a lot like the Resident Evil games on the PS1.Graphics are a little choppy but still a good game.
Everything I dreamed of and Everything works as it should and exactly how it was described šš»
