After the releases of both Super Castlevania 4 and Symphony of the Night, the Castlevania series began to take many of the twists and turns that have plagued the series as a whole up to now. Constant attempts to recapture the magic that Symphony of the Night had when released on the first PlayStation caused a rinse/repeat/recycle loop of titles that did not elevate the series pass it's previous achievements. This lead to the release of many games using the same Metroid-Vania formula with convoluted narratives, as well as half-hearten attempts to bring the series into the third dimension. Castlevania was a series that was lost in itself, struggling to find a new hit entry into the franchise and a new identity.

Well i enjoyed my time with it and thats all that matters too me, i could not care less what others thought. Please bring 3 out Konami or at least a 1 and 2 remasters.
it was ok. but the hide and seek BS was some of the dumbest stuff in the world.
I remember the intro being fun an action packed. Then the game became "OK" with a lame hub system and sneaking around as a rat. The modern time frame levels weren't the great either. Lord of Shadows 1 was much better and I wish they had continued with that formula.
