I know the N64 titles get a lot of flak, but I genuinely think they're pretty good. Legacy of Darkness especially, it feels like a reworked, more fleshed out version of the original game. I love the atmosphere and slower tempo, and a lot of the frustrating sections of the original game were altered or removed. This is not your average Castlevania. It's almost more of a survival horror title, at least in pacing and atmosphere. Give it a go, but don't expect it to play like other games in the series. This one, and its predecessor, are very different.
