Edge Staff: "Theres a classic moment in Bram Stokers Dracula where a solicitor named Jonathan Harker climbs down from a carriage in the Carpathian Mountains and beholds a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the sky. This portentous arrival should give a familiar chill to fans of Konamis Castlevania games, since they often deposit the player before a daunting gate, beyond which sinister spires rise up against the moon. The franchise permits itself generous liberties with its source material, filling it with perky young anime characters and Universal Horror monsters, but the castles foreboding sentience is a constant, even as protagonists, terrains and gameplay mechanics vary around it."
