You've no doubt heard all of the glowing reviews of this game. So here's another: the gameplay, graphics, and sound are all top-notch and leagues above all those other 3D games. There is no excuse for not owning this, even if you didn't like other Castlevania games. People should get a Playstation for this game it's so good. It's just too bad that most people will right it off because it's "old-fashioned". Even worse, it hasn't sold well, so a true, 2D sequel isn't too likely to happen.
