Belmont's Revenge is the best game in the series. Thusly, it gets this spot easily.

I'm not sure which game gets second place, it's pretty much a toss-up between CV1, CVA, SCV4 and CVC. All are awesome, but for different reasons.

I have done quite a few recently huh?  Well simply put, I enjoy taking the forum's pulse on various issues.  I've been around the long enough to see all these "strongest Belmont evar" "character x suxors" "game x > SotN" topics get thousands of hits over the years --so there's plenty of interest out there, but very few polls are ever made to suppport or refute the premises of those topics.  These two will seem somewhat generic --until the results get discussed.  If I'm right about my theory that is...

Castlevania 1 and 3 by far. If I could I would vote for 4 as well. Those 3 is EXACTLY what castlevania is about. Castlevania 1 is my personal favorite. Ahhh memories of 1987....,

I decided on SCV4 and Dracula X Chronicles.  SCV4 because it is my favorite classic CV, a great leap in technology for a fantastic retelling of the original with a lot of fun new implementations into the franchise.

Dracula X Chronicles because I think it's another great leap in technology to retell a fan favorite game, and is available in the US.  I also think it brings some "newer" features to the game that help make it more accessible and fun. :D

It'll be interesting to see if the 3D Castlevanias will be thrown in with the Castleroids and if that will include the 64 games as well.

Dracula's Curse and Rondo get my votes, probably due to my love of branching levels, as well as the level design in each and the time taken with presentation. Bloodlines deserves a mention I feel, mainly as no-one else is likely to do so and it's actually a rather fine game, if somewhat easy.

I was actually considering mentioning it. For a time it was very nearly my favourite classic CV game. But recently, I've grown kind of detached from it. It just no longer stands out as much as BR, CV1, SCVIV, CVC etc. It's good, but just not quite there.

Tough choices, but I picked DXC and SCVIV. I absolutely LOVE DXC. The game is amazing and I think the aspects of exploration are even more well done than they were in Rondo. SCVIV, what more can I say?

And no 64 games in the poll?  :(

The very spirit of these 2 polls will be to compare the games that are the most similar.
