Van Helsing and anything related to it rock! I love it.

Ihave played the other games on the consoles and was pretty impressed, and this game is ok, but not great.The weapon selection has gone way down, and you must earn your health.It gets way tough, but you can get far without having alot of trouble.As everyone says the password system is dumb.For instens, when you write the code down, you must take the paper with the password with you, or maybe by accident, your mom throws the paper away, and you must restart the game.This is a average game, but the console ones are much better.

The new Van Helsing game for the GBA developed by Saffire games for Vivendi Universal is a slightly above average film licensed romp.
Your enjoyment of this game will most likely be gauged by your enjoyment of Stephen Sommer's film of the same name. The story is told with snippets of dialogue and images of the films stars (much like last years HOBBIT GBA game)
This is an action oriented title however and you will rely heavily on your crossbow, pistol,grappling hook, and tojos to survive against minions of skeletons etc...the gameplay is fairly frantic and smooth with certain bosses requiring a bit of strategy.
The graphics and sound are nice and add atmosphere throughout.
The levels could be longer but the side scrolling/isometric action is satisfying the PASSWORD SAVE SYSTEM however leaves a little to be desired in a NEW title. There are goodies to be lunlocked and many glyphs to collect.
A battery save and some audio snippets would have gone a long way here, but this is a licensed game that is actually pretty fun to play, especially if you enjoyed the movie.
