Castlevania:SOTN appreciation post.
A post dedicated to Caslevania:Symphony of the Night, one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, side scroller of all time.
Picked this up years ago and still puts some modern games to shame, beautiful graphics, haunting soudtrack and great fun.
Thoughts welcome.

SOTN may be my second favorite game of all time next to Snatcher on the Sega CD.

SOTN is by far the funnest Castlevania. AOS coming in a very close second for me. Dont know about HOD, havent played it yet. Since Metroid came up, how does Metroid Fusion compare to Super Metroid? I'm playing Fusion right now, and I have to say I'm dissapointed, only reason I played was because I heard it was Castlevaniaish.

While I liked SOTN, I never understood the following it had. I never even heard any hype for it really, my friend just said borrow and play this.
Oh well, to each his own.

Agreed. SOTN still stands as the pinnacle of sidescrollers. Graphics, control, music, sound effects and the sheer number of hours to play it make this a title every PS or PS2 owner should keep in their library.

I've played almost every single major video game since about 1981, and SOTN is my favorite game of all time.
Just thinking about it makes me want to play it.
It could quite possibly be The Perfect Video Game.

All this love for the game and i still can't get a decent price for my japanese import of the game with the artbook and soundtrack
Actually I never have played this game even though it came so highly recommended my friend in japan sent me a copy.

I picked Metal Slug 3 last week, and that mediocre title made me appreciate SOTN all the more. Absolutely the pinnacle of side scrollers. Maybe I'll give it a spin tonight. However,
GTA: VC is easily the greatest soundtrack of all-time. I mean, come on, the equivalent of 7 CDs, I Wear my Sunglasses at Night, Automatic, Africa, it's a beast!

Probably the best video game soundtrack ever too.
