Wow, you're so right. I'd LOVE to be in Castlevania. Though I'd rather BE Alucard. Lol. I just love castlevania because I love the whole "gothic" theme and all the undead creatures and castles and vampires and I could go on and on and on........Oh yeah, and the music ROCKS!!!!!

It's one of the few successful 2D series that's still around today.

Your right, all the old 2D series like Mario and Zelda have converted to mainly 3D. Castlevania Hasn't made that jump yet, though IGA has attempted, even though I love CoD.

I love Castlevania as it is a Great Story.

I love it because of all the references to mythology - be it Greek or Asian.It creates a whole atmosphere of the past filled with demons and monsters that could once have been real.
I like to reference some of the creatures on wikipedia or just random web sites and i can spend hours reading and learning about why such references are made

( Charon the boatman for one example or the Cocytus spell from PoR, this is a reference to one of the frozen rivers of hell )

Castlevania is also a challenge - most of the time - which makes a change from todays games too.

I like , too.. the gothic atmosphere.Ahhh....If only Genya Arikado was real...IT SO HANDSOME GODDAMIT .Hey Do you like Elder scrolls?

[Profbeanburrito]

Well, I've been playing it since I was 4 years old, so I grew up with it and it kind of grew on me. Plus, CV3 was the first game I ever owned myself (not sharing with my brother). But it's always been fun and I love side scroller's so it's great

Music...and the Clock Tower....obseesed with both...

[Azmodan]

The music and the atmosphere makes it one of my favorite games. Even though the series undergone many changes and alterations since '86, the music and the adventurous mood have always remained top-notch.

The music is great realy.I like many tracks of Castlevania because it reminds me of the difficulty i had when i was fighting Dracula the Death and so on....
P.S I like the gothic atmosphere too .I love gothic music too.
P.S(2)Sorry if iam not answering on time but as iam from Greece...well you now that when it is day here it is propably night there in USA.

I might be the only one who thinks this but its not just the story that gets me but recently i turned my life around and ive always been a Castlevania fan but ive really got into them lately because to me they all seem to revolve around a Christian theme (maybe thats just me) except for DoS it seems to focus more around astrology.  but not just that i love the arcade style of play.

Castlevania is a very unique series. What I like about it the most is the concept of heritage. For example, the Belmont continue their legacy throughout the series, and other families as well. And of course, the gothic feeling and beautiful music... a perfect a series. =)

The locations, definatly. In my first game Bloodlines I really loved the feel of the differant gothic levels, ofcourse the music was, as it is now, fantastic.

Now'a'days whenever I crack open a Castleroid (or Metroidvania if you prefer), what I look foreward to the most is discovering all the exciting locations.
