9.5/10.

Kind of shocked by these ratings!

7.5

I remember enjoying it at the time but it's been a long time.

But I also think 7-8 is a perfect good score for a game if you're using a 0-10 scale properly and not just giving 8+ to everything.

Im not saying its not, Im speaking from how highly I regard this game and what I thought was more of the general thought around it. Which is that to me this is the best Castlevania and one of the best search action games ever made. But obviously Im in the minority on that in this board and thats fine.

Yeah it's actually possibly not even a top 10 Castlevania for me. Keep in mind I like the non Metroidvania entries in the series quite a bit too though.

Castlevania
Dracula's Curse
Super Castlevania
Dracula X
Symphony of the Night
Aria of Sorrow
Portrait of Ruin
Order of Ecclesia
Harmony of Despair

Ok so I guess it'd be 10th at worst. (Probably 7th or 8th). I'm probably harsher on it cause the seal gimmick is kinda dumb and I'm not a big fan of the anime look this game moved the series into.

Still a good game!

3.5

The bonus modes are the only good part.

There wasn't much competition when it came out. People have played better MVs now.
