Why play Metrovania when you can just play Metroid? I've always like the linear Castlevania games better and I think Super Castlevania IV is the best in the series.
Super Metroid is the better game. They're both classics though - SotN just rips Super Metroid off shamelessy.
Super Metroid is one of the best games of the 16-bit era - so is Castlevania IV. Symphony of the Night doesn't quite stack up to either one of them.
