SC IV was #2 but yes predicitably they praised it to the hilt. They ranked Bloodlines ahead of Rondo though which only got an honorable mention. Maybe thet thought their audience doesnt know Rondo because it was an import but it got released on Wii VC a long time ago so plenty of people know it now. No excuse.
No, just no. You can't leave Rondo out of a list like that. There's no reason for anyone who likes the series to have not played it. Screwattack never had any credibility, and they keep making it worse.Quote:

I like:
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
- Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
- Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
- Super Castlevania IV
- Castlevania: Bloodlines
I think you should reconsider and put Super Castlevania IV on your list...Quote:

Yeah, no way should RoB have been left off the list.
Hmm...
1. Super Castlevania IV (SNES)
2. Rondo of Blood (TCD)
3. Legacy of Darkness (N64)
4. Portrait of Ruin (DS)
5. Castlevania III (NES)
Top honorable mentions: Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (GB), Symphony of the Night (various)
Ewww. A top five list with both SCV and LoD on there. Just no.Quote:

Rondo is the best classic style.
Symphony of the Night is the best IGA Metroidvania
Lords of Shadow is the best 3D style.
After Rondo, I'd go with Bloodlines instead of Super Castlevania, III, or anything else. It's more fun.
:ok:Quote:

I first played LoD in the mid '00s, and went in with somewhat low expectations because I'd heard plenty of bad things about it... but it's really good! Great game. Great sense of atmosphere, good platforming, good level designs, some solid puzzles, and decent if not great action; it's a very good game that balances action, exploration, and platforming well. It's easily the best 3d Castlevania game, and the N64 Castlevanias are the only ones that play like platformers at all, which is a definite plus for them given that I like the genre! They're more platform/adventure games, but the mix works well. It's not perfect certainly, but it is good. I wish Konami had continued to make games like them... oh well.Quote:
