The Metal Gear Solid 3 of early Castlevania. It's the first title pumped up to eleven. Everything is here, even the first stage of the first game has returned! Like with MGS3, the main attraction here is the replay value, which makes the levels more open-ended and less tight than in previous games. But it doesn't really matter in the end, because playing with all the characters is so fun. Besides, we get the clock tower near the beginning, which is one of the best stages in the franchise ever. Overall, an amazing game that has to be played to be believed.
