I liked Castlevania 64, I know a lot of other people that liked it too. I think a lot of people SAY it's bad even when they haven't played it, because a lot of game sites said it sucked. I played the game before the reviews came out, and I was honestly expecting it to get scores in the 9 out of 10 range. In fact, I don't remember anyone off the top of my head that actually played the game and didn't like it. I don't know though, I don't think it's a game for everybody. If you're annoyed with bad camera angles, that could be a problem. Personally, I wasn't affected accept for in one stage where the camera kept swirling around uncontrollably.
