Legion - You make a good point about such a lame enemy dropping such a w00t weapon. Wouldn't the Crissaegrim have been the perfect prize to win from, say, Galamoth? (For the record, I beat that hoser without the Beryl Circlet just so I could say that I could...but the extended mist item - whatever the hell it was called - did help a lot.)

Either way, I still think Castlevania Symphony of the Night is the best one out there. And I'm highly loyal to the series!


Bah, I knew I forgot one.

I can't really vote only have playing a few .. but from what I've heard, Symphony of the Night is one of the best out there. (Also extremely expensive)

But one I have played that I really liked was Super Castlevania 4 for Snes.

A lot of people rant agains't Castlevania 64 saying it's horrible, maybe it's because I haven't played more than 3 or 4 Castlevania games, but I didn't think the 64 one was bad either.

On the subject of Castlevania 64 - I didn't enjoy it and quit playing it after I couldn't get past the dogs and the Frankenstein monster in the garden maze. I'd enjoyed the earlier part of that chapter because it was more about exploration than smashing things and jumping (more on that later), but overall, it had too many elements that punish the player needlessly, which really yanked my chain.

First off, there's not much of a safety net, even in the very beginning, which I think is ridiculous. Unless you're playing on hard mode or something, the first level of a game should be easy, friendly, and pretty much impossible to screw up. Not so in C64, where you face a boss and endless hordes of enemies with neither a damn clue as to what you're supposed to be doing, a map, nor a renewable source of healing, which gives you little incentive to explore lest you get cornholed and die and have to start it all over again. And let's not forget the cliffs with the crappy camera angles that make it easy to fall to your doom. Thus, I did not start the game off on the best of terms.

Further into the game, you start to get access to a store of sorts that allows you to buy healing items! w00t! They fixed one of the earlier problems I was complaining about, right? Not exactly. You see, if you spend too much money over the course of the game, you have to fight another boss. Evidently, the devil hates getting a lot of bling, so he takes your soul. I thought that money was the root of all evil, so wouldn't you think that a demon would LIKE to have a lot of it? Can we say "cheapass device to artificially limit spending"? And you also have to fight another boss if you take too much time to get through the game. Discouraging exploration and experimentation is teh sux. I never understand why developers do that.

The N64 Castlevania games rule. There, it's been said. Better 3D Castlevanias than Lament of Innocence, to be honest.

Gotta hide that thing where nobody's gonna look. The only reason I found it was 'cuz I went around, killing lots of every monster I came across, trying to get ahold of all the rare drops. Those Merman will *not* give up their monster vials easily, I can tell ya' that.

SotN was easily my fav...I think it was called Dracula X in Japan; I derive that from a friend's official CD of the soundtrack.
