Dracula is one hardy undead corpse: whether in movies, books or video games, this fella just keeps coming back for more. Indeed, The Shadow of the Dragon is the fourth outing for Microïds' adventure game franchise, each loosely built around the eponymous bloodsucker. Even with a new protagonist and storyline, the latest game will feel instantly familiar to those who played the previous games. Unlike its predecessors, however, this a meagre instalment with a stingy approach that offers little to no challenge for anyone who’s ever attempted an adventure game. You see, despite the "4" in its title, this is, in fact, a stunted three-hour ‘episode’ at best, and at worst a cynical attempt to sponge cash out of gamers with an unfinished product.
