Hands down best Castlevania game... ever

User Rating: 10 | Akumajou Dracula SNES
The reason why I bought Wii Points, this was my first ever Castlevania game, I still remember the day I got it back in 1992, that sudden scene when thunder strikes Dracula's tomb made me and my little brother jump LOL!. Anyway, what can I say about this legend of a game, graphics are beautiful, control is fluid, difficulty is well-balanced and the music, oh my god the music, is considered to me personally one of the best in video game history, I still listen to Simon's theme frequently (the original SNES version), brings back so many memories and even some of my friends who don't even know Castlevania love this track and have it on their cell phones. And best of all, the replay value is top-notch, it's so much fun to play this game it never gets old, must've played this like 3-4 times a week back in the day just to pass time, it just has this undeniable charm about it that keeps you coming back for more.

In the end, I consider myself a Castlevania fan, having played every single game of the series (including the PC Engine's Chi no Rondo), and I can honestly say that no other iteration of the series has come close to the brilliance of this game, except SOTN which is another masterpiece of the series but lacks that classic touch. You can't go wrong with Castlevania IV, a must-have for Platform-Adventure gamers and Castlevania fans alike.
