Superb and Packed with puzzles and minigames
First let me tell you that I made the mistake of buying the SE, mistake not because the game is bad but because, precisely, it is OUTSTANDING.
Which led me to having a slight feeling of frustration when I reached Chapter 3. I knew then I wanted to go to the very end, to the extra chapter eager as I was to know what happens after the predictable ending of the SE.
The snag is that the SG gives you access to only Chapters 1 and 2, so you have no way of telling whether the CE is worth buying. Now I know it is.
I understand that some developers do not want to unveil too much of their CE, but I wish they gave at least some information about what is not included in the trial version. After all when you buy, say, a PC, you want to know everything regarding its specs. A detailed list of what a CE has to offer, as a minimum, would be more than welcome.
That said "Love Kills" is a must-have.
Right from the start the game immerses you into a perfectly well rendered eerie atmosphere of the world of vampires.
The artwork is simply stunning, with a cascade of colors dosed with subtlety and great talent.
The soundtrack is one of the best I've heard.
Although the HO Scenes are at times a little cluttered, they are not truly eye-straining if you don't goggle at them for too long at a time. This makes certain items difficult to find, considering also that some of them are sneakily concealed and/or blend in with the background. But they are not all that difficult after all.
Help is available from the generous Hint System, both in and out of the HO Scenes. It points at what you need to find and where you have to go.
Further help is given on screen and in the custcenes. These, although pretty standard, contribute to the smooth unfolding of the story as well as providing you with essential clues.
Tasks and actions present no particular difficulty.
The voive-overs are excellent; each character has a strong transylvannian accent and are good fun to listen to, except for Igor's voice rightly described as "hammy" by another reviewer. The dialogues are well written, and not devoid of humor.
The map is quite convenient as it allows you to hop from one location to another, and indicates which one has been completed and which one has still tasks remaining
Locations are not in excessive number, so getting lost is impossible. They are all so well crafted that it is a good idea to stop for a couple of minutes just to admire the details.
Dracula has special powers, but in order to use them he needs to drink blood; looking for the vials of blood is part of the fun and a necessity. The shape of the cursor when hovering over a vial is just too funny. The other alternative for him to re-energize himself is to bite the girls, but the game gives a choice between doing it or not doing it; each choice having different consequences. Also part of the fun !
These powers enable him to do a number of things that would be impossible without them.
You can earn 33 awards during the course of the game.
But the strong point of this game lies in the huge number of puzzles and minigames of all kinds, some easy, others tricky, but none impossible.
With 6 long chapters for the SE, 7 for the CE, the game ensures hours of fun, entertainement, challenge, and maybe a few thrills for some players.
Although it is a vampire story with a lot of red -normal, blood is red- it never gets gory, unhealthy or scary, just a bit creepy at times with the odd skeleton and the inevitable graves and caskets.
A game that will keep you glued to your comp and deserves 4.8 stars (5 is perfection)

You should not miss this one!
Dracula: Love Kills (D:LK) only has enough Hidden Object areas to get it classified as a HOG, but other than those token spots get ready for a game that should be more properly classified as a Puzzle-Fest. If puzzles in games are a turn-off for you then definitely look elsewhere, because D:LK is PACKED with them. But if you happen to enjoy puzzles, get ready to test your mettle because you?ve come to the right place.
To start with, if you can get past the cheesy 3D animation in the beginning, then the look of this game will rope you in and immerse you in its atmosphere. In your mind?s eye you can almost hear the flame on the torches crackle, or you can see your breath as you move through cold and foggy environments; when the artwork is so good you can mentally take the realism up to higher levels because it fires your imagination, then it?s safe to say that the artists were successful in their work.
With all of that said though, the complete visual package in D:LK is not perfect. As mentioned earlier the 3D animation in the beginning looks dated, as if it were something you?d expect to see on the original Playstation years ago. I have to wonder why somebody somewhere in the line of producing this game didn?t think the same thing. And considering how nicely rendered everything else is, I also have to wonder why Waterlily didn?t just write that 3D animation off as a bad experiment and then proceed to implement more of the great art that filled the rest of the game.
Another complaint would have to go against the look on Dracula himself. While I?m glad the developers shot for a more traditional look and didn?t seem to take the teeny-bopping Twilight crowd into consideration at all in illustrating him, it?s regrettable that his in-game facial expression NEVER changes. In fact, other than a few different stances in his body, it?s pretty clear that all they did was copy and paste his original head from the title screen. While it can be said that if something isn?t broke it doesn?t need fixing, at the same time considering all of the lines of dialogue Dracula gets, a few different expressions from time to time would?ve really conveyed the mood better.
Speaking of dialogue, I?ve read a few reviews on the internet that actually complained about the voice acting in this game, and I just can?t figure out why. Dracula sounds like Dracula should, calculating yet menacing all at once, and Van Helsing was great too (and speaking of looks, Van Helsing has major shades of classic actor Peter Cushing going on, which I?m also thankful for). Igor?s voice was a bit too hammy for my taste, but considering how well the other characters sound it?s easy to overlook him.
The musical soundtrack in this game is a five star production if I ever heard one. Even now as I type this review I?m humming a few bars in my head from it. Most of the time it seems developers only aim for making soundtracks suitable for the games, but don?t really try to go above and beyond. That is not the case here; D:LK sounds as good as it looks, and possibly even better. If Waterlily wanted to release this music on a CD I?d definitely be there for that!
There really isn?t much more to say on the greatness of this game. D:LK should rope you in and drain several hours of free time, providing of course if you like puzzles. There were a few occasions where I had to walk away from a puzzle and then come back to it later after giving my eyes a break, but for the most part the challenge is high and the frustration is kept in check. The Bonus goodies you earn after beating the game aren?t going to set the world on fire either, so don?t get those hopes up too high, but the achievement badges can be a bragging right with your friends.
So thank you Big Fish and Waterlily for an outstanding game.

not a good sequel but still a good HOPA
This is supposed to be the sequel to my favourite game here at BF - dracula origin. If you haven't played that then don't think dracula origin is anything like this because it's not. I so wanted a good sequel and got a completely different game (like azada in libro). But again putting that aside this is a good game.
This is the sequel to Dracula Origin but instead of playing Professor Helsing you play Dracula. For those fishies that have played Hound of the Baskervilles (same developers) this gameplay is the same as the hound of the Baskervilles. Including the ability modes, map of achievements.
There was 2 modes of play - hard doesn't have sparkles. I played on the hard/advanced mode.
Didn't like the accents on the voice overs.
There was an interactive map (transporter map) click to go to area and it also told you if there was tasks to complete in an area.
When you have done everything in an area there is also "location complete".
[b]Puzzles [/b]The mini puzzles were good though mostly non -original, (one sort of original) not hard, and skipable. And there were plenty and if you don't skip them it should be a long game.
I really enjoyed hound of baskervilles and I do really enjoy this. BUT I LOVED the first Dracula game, it's humour, uniqueness and this didn't have the same humour. I think it is trying to appeal to a wider audience of gamers - those that love IHOGs. (It's just a B+ game and not an A+ game which I was hoping for)
LENGTH There is 6 chapters plus a bonus chapter. First chapter took me exactly one hour on hard mode and no skipping puzzles or using hints. - overall took me 7 hrs with 2 skips in puzzles.
Bonus took me nearly 2 hrs. - Completely different area than the main game, different puzzles, good length. And like the Baskervilles game, unlocked all H0 scenes, puzzles (although no new ones).
STORY - Bonus plot just followed a small side-line in story (didn't like how that ended either!) But your choice in game gives you a different ending I loved that bit.
For those that buy CEs this is a good edition. If you like puzzles, want a built in SG, like all puzzles, H0 scenes unlocked, decent length bonus play then this CE may please.

One of the best HO Games!
The graphics are outstanding!!! The sound effects were awesome too...actually I loved everything about this game..the only other game I found to be of this caliber was Sherlock Holmes and the Baskerville Hounds.
Great story line, puzzels were challenging ....and the best part was there was no way you could get stuck.....game clued you where and what to do next.....plus you could determine what level of play mode..easy or expert.........
I just can't recommend this game enough !

Frustrating, but excellent!
Took me 13 hours to complete this thing in hard mode; the puzzles seemed to increase in difficulty as it progressed. I loved the unusal collaboration between the vampire and vampire hunter. Also loved the score and sound effects: agree with antarctic1234 about the love bite and bit every enemy!

Bite - mild
The sound of the "love bite" is just great creativity. Listen to it.
