Bah, I knew someone would bring this up. AVGN's video has nothing to do with my opinion of the game.
I have always thought it was a terrible game, for me it's just unplayable. Level design is bland as hell and confusing, only 3 bosses in the entire game (all extremely easy), the word cryptic doesn't even begin to bring justice to how vague this game is (this alone makes it unplayable), the night/day system is so stupid it hurts, and yeah I could go on and on. I'll admit it was an interesting idea and the game
could have been great, but there are so many glaring flaws that bring the game down, it's unfortunate.
I think a lot of my aggression towards the game comes from the fact I feel like I was cheated out of an awesome trilogy, if that makes sense haha. Ninja Gaiden has a holy triforce of 8-bit glory, but when you go to the Castlevania trilogy you have Simon's Quest rearing it's ugly head and holding the trilogy back from being truly great. I can see how some fans might enjoy it, but that game just pisses me off.
