Gameplay

The Count is one of the game's bosses. He has the highest amount of health of all the bosses in the game.

Official Strategy guide entry

He flies. He has super-speed. He calls forth flaming bats and rains down concussion bombs. In general, he's one nasty dude! Like all vampires, however, the Count has a weakness - sunlight! He also must be pretty vain to keep all those mirrors around - especially if he can't even see his reflection.[2]

Behind the scenes

Development

The Count's character and name are based on Count Dracula, while his East European accent is specifically inspired by Gary Oldman's portrayal of the character in Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula film adaptation.[1]

Promotion
