Also, I can’t seem to be able to land on the second floor as a vampire. I can fly up there as a bat, and then, once I transform,...

Also, it's got nice details, like the women pointing their crucifix at you, or the way you suck the blood of the people until they wither and become just bones falling to the ground.

I'd have been disappointed with it at a budget price. At best, it'd be interesting as a magazine covertape inclusion.

Robocop 2 doesn't even give you the chance of mindless destruction because some of the baddies must simply be arrested by touching them, and if you shoot them, your energy is drained, so you must constantly be careful. A pain in the iron bottom.
