Pure and simple

What be in your opinion the best game of any of the Castlevania brand

My opinion would be Aria of sorrow, for it's soul system, beautiful graphics, perfect difficulty, and great story(even for Castlevania standards)

Personal Opinion? Well, then its a three-way tie between 3, Rondo of Blood, and Symphony of the Night.

Did AVGN change your mind? I still think Symphony of the Night is better.

Castlevania IV has been my favorite for a while. The controls, music, levels, etc are perfect. I only recently played Rondo of Blood and it is amazing. Probably better than Super Castlevania IV, but I need more time playing it to make that decision. I like the linear platforming games in the series better than the Metroid clones. I just like that type gameplay better. Also, I think Dawn of Sorrow is better than Symphony of the Night as far as the Metroid clone games go.

I'd have to say Circle of the Moon. It's given me the most replayability of any of the Caslevania games I've played and even after beating it about 10 times I still enjoy it.

Super Castlevania IV has always been my favorite of the Castlevania games, followed by Symphony of the Night and Bloodlines

Right now I've played Castlevania, Simon's Quest, Dracula's Curse, and Super Castlevania IV. Castlevania IV is so far my favorite. I'm currently playing Castlevania: Bloodlines on Genesis and soon afterwards I'll be playing Symphony of the Night on PS1.

Castlevania IV hands down is the best Castlevania to ever grace a console followed by SOTN close 2nd.
