QFT.

Dracula X Chronicles. Why? Three games in one, fantastic updates all around (music, voicework, etc.), and the best Dracula boss fight ever... if you save all the girls. I love that game. I find myself popping that in from time to time just to beat Drac's behind.

For me, easily Super Castlevania 4. The controls are great, and the music is awesome. After that, I also like Aria of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin as well.

To whomever voted for Harmony of Dissonance: thank you for agreeing with me.  This game is so underappreciated.

Voted for SoTN.
Results were pretty much what I expected them to be.

It was a tough choice between CV3, SCV4, and SotN, but I went with CV3. I acknowledge SCV4 and SotN as the better games, though.

Since there has been a "poll reset", I voted this time for Harmony of Dissonance.

Not so much for normal mode, but hard mode is where that game shines. Great level of challenge. I also love the atmoshpere throughout the game with the graphics and music. Some of those boss fights are really cool, and I love the merging castles thing. The music is consistent and compliments the rest of the game well, although I do wish they had made alternate versions of the same tunes for areas in Castle A and B. In any case, it's earned a place as my favorite Castlevania for now.

I could never vote for the best game since they all have some qualities that I like about them.

You had to have played it when it first came out in '91. It really took advantage of the power of the snes, & it was just a fun game. It contains the very essence of Castlevania. The few veterans here that's been with the series since day 1 know exactly what I'm talking about.

I only started liking Castlevania when OoE came out, I went back and played just about every CV since then, and CV4 is definitely one of the best.  I do prefer the "Castleroids/Metroidvania" style games but I do enjoy CV4 a lot, so you don't need to be a CV vet to appreciate it.  It has some of the best level designs and most fun gameplay in the series and that's why I love it.

... I can't pick.

So I'm going to troll all of you and vote for Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest.
