As for the game itself, I had no doubt it would be as awesome as it was when I played it 15 years ago. Thank God for the original Japanese voice acting, though. My soul can rest knowing that I won't have to hear Richter's "narrating" or that Succubus get an orgasm in the American version. I would almost say she was faking it, but knowing the scene involved Alucard, faking it would have been quite the feat.
As for the condition the product was in when it arrived, I would say it had to have been in the best used condition I've ever seen in my entire life. Did the person who used to own this game turn the pages of the instruction booklet with gloves and/or tweezers? Any way, great job, person who shipped this to me from Japan. LOVE THIS GAME!
