Castlevania is that kind of series that I find hard to hate
of course, there might be some niggles but they're compensated by other things and get balanced in the process.
Now, a terrible game should have a huge problem, so big that even the potentially good things get drowned in it.
for example, I could say that Krusty's Fun House (SNES) is a terrible game imo because the gameplay premise, while is interesting for its time, it's poorly executed. This is also matched by horrid graphics and a shitty soundtrack.
Also I understand why Bomberman 64 is in this thread; while it plays very well and has interesting techniques, the whole game feels like a fucking maze and never could beat the first four levels. Maybe I'm not patient enough, but it sounds not likely becuase I managed to complete Super Metroid.
