Topic: Worst Game in Series

[Vatican29]

Well, I don't really think it was just the challenge that made CV1 great. It really does have impeccable level design that hasn't been replicated in any of the later titles. I thought Bloodlines was still fun with all the gimmicks in its level design. I thought it was surprisingly individualistic and charming.

Charming....perfect way to put it.

Platforming got lost somehow with Simon's Quest.  I thought CVIII did it rather well though.

Mm, with CVIII, I thought it suffered from trying to scale everything in CVI up. There were a lot of places where it dragged too, especially the whole block melting part. I thought there was a lot of superficial structures and some flat expanses in its first level too.

I suppose you're right....

In some areas it was far too much.  The Demon Seed route with Alucard as your partner (possibly) had too many moving platforms for no reason....still one of my favs forever, though.

Simon's Quest And Harmony of Dissonance.

HoD I only liked for the one song that made me stay in that part of the castle for hours. It also gave me a taste of what the retro games were like (it looks old as opposed to Circle of the Moon which was released before it.) It had a lame story over all.

Simon's Quest since i watch AVGN's review there's no way i'd waste time playing that.

Don't believe reviews. Think with your own head.

There is only one way to determine is the game good or not - to play it.
Judging game by videos, especially like AVGN ones, who creates them for the comedy purposes, are bad idea.

If you haven't even played Simon's Quest you can't say it's the worst in the series, at least not if you wanna be taken somewhat seriously within these forums. It defies all logic and common sense.

You are aware that the AVGN actually LOVES Castlevania 2, right? His reviews are comedy. Not to be taken entirely seriously.

It's one of my favorite 'Vanias.


I chose Castlevania Adventure. Belmont's Revenge is a whole other beast, but the first Adventure game is annoyingly difficult because Christopher is the slowest Belmont of all time. He's really sluggish at jumping too. The game isn't so bad after you use the hack to speed him up and emulate it, but the original game is rather disappointing in my opinion.

Adventure is definitely one the weakest entries in the series, if not the weakest.. but it's also the game I always wanted to see remade, just because there's so much wasted potential in there. The music and some of the level design is actually very good IMO. Adventure Rebirth was not how I pictured a remake though... I would say a proper Adventure remake is out of the question now. A damn shame...

I just played through and beat all 3 original gameboy Castlevanias for the first time.  To me, Castlevania Legends is a huge let down and has got to be the worst game.   The background graphics are horrible.  What up with the annoying bats and flying lizards that fly through walls?...and enemies re-appear instantly too?  Not fun, just annoying.  Also no creativity what so ever for a game that was release in 1997, the same time as SOTN.  I think Castlevania Adventure is even a better game then Legends and that game has serious flaws.

The worst game in this series by a long shot is Timecop for the SNES.
