My gaming operates on instinct, and the most beautiful games are my target.

Castlevania shares the very top.

I love them for the challenge, action, and sense of adventure. I'm a big horror buff and these games have everybody from the mummy to frankenstein.

Basicly everything,
The great story behind it that has references to about all ancient lore there is and the gothic themes and beautifull music that is used. The game itself varies in difficulty but can always present you with a diffirent form of challange.

Basicly Castlevania is one of the only(if not THE only) game that started with the old and kept growing with us.

I love the stories, I love the characters, the music and artwork.

I love the setting for the games as I am a huge vampire lore fan and have been for years.

Settings, Musics, Enemies, Vampires and Gameplay.

I love the gameplay, and if it goes to 3d, it better be good. I like the setting, old castles during the old times is awesome. Music ulez, nuff said. There are so many enemies and some very cool ones. I also love vampire stories, and vampires are just awesome.

What's not to like? And it did go 3D about 7 years ago. Watch Vampire Hunter D (1985) you will see what inspired the series. (especially Alucard)

The music.

While the games themselves are hit and miss (mostly hit), the music has remained pretty consistently awesome through them all. Which is shocking, because this rarely happens in game series' and there's been multiple composers though it's history. Hell, I even like some of the tracks in the canceled Resurrection...which almost seems impossible. It's international law that Castlevania music has to be A) Good and B) include one or more remixes of classic tunes like Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears.

I think when Michiru Yamane took over, the music went from "Awesome" to "Orgasmic". I remember as a kid I'd go into the sound test in "Bloodlines" and put on a pair of headphones. We've seen legends like Yozo Koshiro (Ys, Actraiser, Steets or Rage) throw their 2 cents in. I've even heard college music professors complement SotN's soundtrack.

The story would be second, but the jury is still out on where IGA is going with all this.

Just about everything.  The music, the gothic themes and settings, and vampires are awesome.  Also, the storyline and the metroidvania formula of gameplay.
The only single complaint I can think of is the anime style characters in the previous two games, though in games as great as Castlevania, I can look past it.

The darkness and gothic themes has always attracted me to the Castlevania games.

The series taught me to look past the flaws of a product and to focus on what I enjoy about it.  This lesson could be applied to many things in life so thank you Castlevania for helping me grow as a person.

I personaly love Castlevania games because it depicts a world that i will like to live in.....

That's why I love the Deus Ex games. With Castlevania, it's because I'm interested in mediaeval history, which is particularly prevalent in LOI, CV3 and COD (in chronological order). The storyline of Castlevania isn't as simplistic and formulaic as it may first appear. I also love the Yamane music and the Kojima artwork. The anime is acceptable. What I want to see is Kojima's artwork animated.
