If I play them expecting Castlevania, LoS and MoF.

From the others... CVA, CV1 MSX version and PC version, CV64, CVLoD, Judgement, Order of Shadows (the worst CV ever)... these are the ones I dislike for any reason or another. I still play them, though, except for Order of Shadows, which I'll never play again.

Lament of Innocence, Castlevania Curse of Darkness and Judgement. These games made me believe Castlevania was not suited for 3D for awhile.

 The most frustrating thing about Curse of Darkness is the ENORMOUS potential it had. Had the level design been good, it could've been excellent. I really like everything else about it (Music, combat etc). Well, the graphics are pretty damn depressing bur I can live with that. Shame on those level designers, boring me to death with their flat, loooong corridors. I can't even think about CoD cause the wasted potential upsets me too much...

I think another disappointing aspect about Curse of Darkness who how the Innocent Devils were mostly useless. You can play the entire without them -expect when the game forces you to use them- and it wouldn't have mattered. The game definitely would have been more interesting if they were essential in combat and the level design was based around their abilities.

What adds insult to injury is that there are some corridors, especially in the final area, that are needlessly long with NO ENEMIES whatsoever.

Sounds like a Simon's Quest homage to me... xD

Judgment, I really, really tried to like this game, the concept is great, but the controls are clunky and the AIs are overpowered.
If they worked and test played mechanics Judgement would have been a great game

I promise I won't complain, now you are just making me SUPER curious!
Which game you don't like! Come on, tell me, now I want to know!  :P
Pretty please!?

I suppose its LoS, SOTN, CV3 or SCIV.

I thought about SCV4 because it seems to be the most untouchable game of the franchise in the opinion of the general fanbase, but I don't know...
Come on, Guy! Tell us!  :P

It's proably CV4 or SotN and the reasons are probably personal ones, not something too objective.
Hence the fear.

I'm only spitballin' here though. :P
