Castlevania Symphony of the night overated ?

[Veknoid_Outcast]

If SOTN is overrated, it's only by the smallest of margins.

I think it's an extraordinary game. Tight controls, stellar level design, all-time great music, a protagonist for the ages, perfect pacing, and huge replay value. Is it the best Castlevania game? I'd probably give that title to Aria of Sorrow, but SOTN is a very close second.

Guacamelee! is an excellent game, but it's not quite on the same level as the top-echelon Castlevania games.
