  1. Xbox Nation Magazine

    Environments are often so big Van Helsing and an antagonist do not appear onscreen together. [July 2004, p.92]
  2. Edge Magazine
    50
    Many titles are likened to "Devil May Cry," but Van Helsing appropriates that game's structure with such brazen thoroughness that it might be seen as this generation's Great Giana Sisters. [July 2004, p.108]
  3. The game feels largely the same through all the levels, even with new weapons gained through the game. Move through the level, fight monsters, get through more parts of the level, fight more monsters, collect glyphs, and fight the boss. However, this game does make good use of the license.
