Castlevania is a platform/action game. I just don't like the 3D transition I guess. It wasn't a survivor horror obviously but that is kind of the feel I got.

I want to have to make my way up a floor that keeps crumbling piece by piece trying to find the exact place to jump to to get up higher while plummeting to the ground. LOI had some platform aspects but it was hardly enough for a game that was based on it.

Even the later 2D games have taken away some of the old values of the series. I just don't like the 3D changing one of my favorite series more. We need a next gen 2D castlevania. Not on GBA but on PS2 or something. Take full effects of the power and implement it into a awesome 2D game. Lets bring Alucard back already.

The music in SOTN is top notch. I like the style. I was dissapointed when the same composer didn't have as many classic tunes.

I guess we just have to agree to disagree. I think SOTN is practically perfect and you think the same of LOI.
