My ratings of the Castlevania games:

Castlevania 3 - Perfect (no flaws)
Symphony of the Night - Excellent (some boss fights too easy)
Castlevania - Good (6 stages is short by later standards; discontinous learning curve)
Castlevania 2 - Good (fun to replay, nonsensical puzzles the first time through)
Castlevania 4 - Almost good (too easy, second quest STILL too easy, mostly a g&s sideshow than a hardcore Castlevania game; doesn't play like the other Castlevania games - in particular, the play control is too different from Castlevania 1, 2, 3, and SotN)

I know this was supposed to be for rating the Final Fantasy games, but I think I'll put that off for now - at least until I finish FF6.

I LOOOOOOVE Flying Omelette!
