I know I am going to be shot for this comment, but I really like this game.
I hadn't played it in about a year, and about three days ago, just picked it up and have been playing it on and off. I really like it. The environment's fun, and the beepy music actually seems fitting. Sure Juste's sprite could be different, but it's not that bad. The game seems to fit perfectly with the time of year too. So, unless you hate the game, pick it up and play it if you haven't in a while, and you'll see what I mean. It has many redeeming qualities. Especially now that Castlevania's began to, again, lose its touch.
And I think I might be the only one, but Maxim K is extremely enjoyable to play as!
