Castlevania Adventure and Castlevania Legends

A lot of people, even Castlevania fans dislike Adventure, even more dislike Legends. These games are both very very good platformer titles but considering how good the earlier level based titles are, a lot of people are a lot harder on these two games than other platformer games that are praised yet not as good.

Castlevania Adventure is all due to stage 3. Easily the hardest stage in the game as soon as you get to the part where you have to out run the spikes. Every action has to be near perfect.

Castlevania Legends has trap candles. Now I can't see why people complain about them because the trap candles are clearly noticeable as white candles while the others are colored dark. Other people dislike how Sonia Belmont steals Trevor's spot as the first Belmont to defeat Dracula and the inclusion of Alucard and both of them having a kid together. I don't consider the game canon, but nothing stops me from playing the game. A good game is a good game.
