[gundamF9]

someone got traped in the castle :)

[thegameman121391]

Third one hands down.

[Athavania]

The Dislike bar is like a Ninja: it's always there but you can't see it ;)

[whiteboye37]

So were these like the 3 best castlevania games ever cuz i they we would all agree on that

[TheMostBleedingHeart]

@whiteboye37 Try the GBA,also Curse of Darkness

[SegaUnited]

Castlevania games as a kid scared the shit outta me. If you really look at them, there cool, but there REALLY messed up in a creepy sense.

[soraninja]

@SegaUnited  I dont how to place it but youre so right! They gave me a few night meres as a kid but i didnt know why. Something about them is messed up probs part of the reason we love em lol

[soraninja]

OMG castlevania 64 and COTM = BEST GAMESS

[mariorossipuzza]

definetely third version.

[Athavania]

circle of the moon- best castlevania ever...

[le0n771]

1 PERSON IS STUPID



[SC2Student]

best castlevania tune evaar!!

[daysofthenewfan3]

I think the sega one sounds way better..

[Riakune]

who the hell is the one dislike? we should start a riot mob and run them outta town >.> how do you not like castlevania music....

[MattT1996]

@Riakune It was probably Dracula that disliked the video :P

[Precipitation]

I'm partial to the GBA version.

[perfectdarkfreak]

you forgot Lost Painting (4th version PSX)

[gayluigipower]

The Begining of the 64 version is too slow but besides that it's just PERFECT. :D

[LucasTyrael]

Can't decide which version is the best.This song kicks asses.

[Teatimesan]

Genesis vers. > the others

[VegaPliego]

@Teatimesan Yeah, Genesis version rocks, the best version of the song.

[RiderAndKallen]

Castlevania Legacy of Darkness had something that no other Castlevania game had (besides 64): Carrie Fernandez. Sure Rondo of Blood had the unstoppable powerhouse Maria Renard, but she used animals instead of light.

[Chichiri520]

@RiderAndKallen

I wish Carrie or Carrie-like characters would appear in other Castlevania games. She was the best!

[roman6a]

i was warped into a vortrex of awesomeness, holy cross this song is EPIC

[TranceCore3]

Shout outs to the floating candles in the antlantis stage,

[Hivolt99087]

Lol, the bloodlines mix always reminds me of those 3 crappy sub-bosses xD

[roman6a]

@Hivolt99087 yeah, they suck but this song is awesome.

[SvartWolf]

dunno, the 3 versions are awesome, prob my fav is the legacy of darkness version.. since LoD is also one of my favs game of the series. but the remix done for circle of the moon was quite a masterpiece ... probably th ebest remix of the game.. is interesting how it sound like an completly different song :O

[Belmont2500]

In my opinion, the N64 version is the best, with the Genesis version coming in a close 2nd.

[Marty1195]

Awesome! Great! :D :D I love the second one! :D ( sorry for my poor english xD)

[skaman125]

Through the ages, This song along wit vampire killer, will always sound awesome in their different variations...

[hiddenmaverick]

The Genesis version can't be beat with its epic organ!!!

[hiddenmaverick]

The Genesis version can't be beat with its epic organ!!!

[BluelightSpike]

0 Dislikes.

That's just how awesome Castlevania music is.

[LoyalistViral]

@BluelightSpike First dislike : D

[BluelightSpike]

@LoyalistViral Screw you, bloody disliker scum! I shall Slay you!

[LoyalistViral]

@BluelightSpike Lols I am teh master toll!

[laseren68]

I did like the Bloodlines version the most.

The Legacy of darkness version is also very damn good.

Although i did not like the Circle of the moon version though but that's just me.

[burningvenom]

Bloodlines > all

[superzwiebel]

The Circle of the Moon version is kind of... ick, if I'm honest. Totally destroys the atmosphere of awesome that the Bloodlines version had. The Legacy of Darkness version is pretty nice, though.

[poster12345678]

This is one of my favourite castlevania bgms.

Loved it the first time I heard it on the genesis version.

[shadowman840]

Bloodlines is the best but i think circle of the moon hase a better rythm of them all

[Themetaldrummer30]

Circle of the moon wins that round!!! is the best instrumented of all 3!!!! and the most

relaxing but active of them.

[Olympion]

N64 version is my favorite as well.

[elephanturkeymelt]

CotM is actually very relaxing... I like it the most, probably cuz i love games that are action packed but still manage to keep your blood pressure under check hahaha

[Kizkit]

Interestingly, the original genesis one seems to be the best.

The updated N64 version, although better sound quality, missed alot of notes and it felt like it was just hanging at times.

The GBA version was probably the worst of the three, with some poor timing and odd gaps.

Overall, bloodlines' version was just more fluid and fitting with an appropriate pace. The other two have too many minor, irritating issues with timing and pace.

[VastFarFlung]

Harmony of Dissonance had a fitting name. God damn that music.

[PenguinCinema]

Circle of the Moon wins it.

[Murlokk]

goosebumps all over.

great theme. I'd like to hear it in lords of shadow...but thats a dream :)

[EmperorBubba]

yeah, Bloodlines takes the win by a mile here.

[Rhethion]

Bloodlines was my first Castlevania (and I've been playing it since I was two years old), and it was a pleasant surprise in CoTM. But just recently when I picked up LoD, and I heard it's version of the song in the art tower, I almost cried because of how great the 64 version sounded.

[alansixx]

why is it that people say that castlevania 64 and its addon was lame i thought it was good

[jimbostube2]

@alansixx The Nintendo 64 versions did get a lot of negative reviews, but weren't really terrible games; they just looked choppy at times and the mechanics of jumping/camera weren't great. However, the soundtrack was absolutely gorgeous (both titles) and fit the stages perfectly.

[alansixx]

@jimbostube2 but im not talking about what the people in the internet say i mean i asked my friends if they liked castlevania 64 or its addon and they say that they both suck its a rip of of torok i know i know that is one of the stupidest things you have probably heared but yea thats what every one says

[KingLofiOne]

CoTM was my first Castlevania (Well, my cousin got Belmont's Revenge, but we never played that much, it was too difficult for us. By chance, we almost immediately guessed the password to lead us straight up to Dracula, but we couldn't beat him). So this is where I know this Song from. When I played Bloodlines (New Generation around here), I immediately recognized this song, and I was very pleased to find it in Legacy of Darkness, too. This Song is always great. So peaceful and fantastic.

[alansixx]

idk why but i like the cotm virsion better idk why it has some sort of memory i will never forget man thank u for posting this vid up man ahh good f@#king memories

[ZombieHouseFresnoCA]

@alansixx The Circle of the Moon is the one that represents it the best.

Rock on Castlevania - and rock on Alansix!

[alansixx]

@ZombieHouseFresnoCA hells yea but cotm is one hard game and you rock to man

[jjvictor66]

the n64 version is more like "fantasy"

i like bloodlines much more,but doesn´t mean that 64 ver is not awesome

[scrltspdrslayer]

I played CotM so much and I failed to recognize this tune even tho Bloodlines is one of my favorites in the series it sounds very different and the Genesis version is by far the best with CotM being last

[theblocksays]

Circle of the Moon's music was at least better then the blandness of Harmony of Dissonance's

[Mysterious0Bob]

@theblocksays Circle has zero variety. You had to listen to each tune about forty times by the time you had beaten the game. I can't stand COTM because of that.

[xSayPleasex]

@Mysterious0Bob good thing there's not a bad song in the whole OST ;p

[theblocksays]

Circle of the Moon's music was at least better then the blandness of Harmony of Dissonances's

[19Szabolcs91]

They should have used it as Cornell's theme in Judgment, instead of that medley.

[garou119]

Love the track, specially the LoD version. That one is just powerful.

[ImUrDoppelganger]

when i first but circle of the moon 9 years ago, i hated this song. but after listening to the other versions it grew on me

[ChaosTheAbominable]

oh my god! I had no idea there was a new version of this song! I sadden to think I cannot convey this as my own.

[RandomReviewer272]

Since last year I FINALLY found Castlevania Bloodlines for my Genesis... only for $15 too... lucky me.

[biggabow5]

anyone know where i can get the downloads for any of these versions?? besides using mp3ify or whatever its called

[arkainjalex12]

One of the greatest video game tracks ever created, in my opinion. Bloodlines forever!

[anh7hu0ng3m]

I like GBA version the best but I also believe they can make a better version of this

[shion255]

cool

[dangom]

Love the bass on the GBA version.

[dangom]

Love the Bass on the GBA version.

[SC2Student]

@dangom naaa it kills the main theme

[DragonMaster1086]

Castlevania 64/Legacy of Darkness has my favorite version of this song--love the full orchestral sound of it.

[FinalGamerJames]

Wow so it did get remade to later games, thanks for letting us know!

[gyd67ckn]

These three play in sequence from best to least-best.

[arkainjalex12]

@gyd67ckn I agree. Bloodlines beats the crap out of the others. It has way more feeling for me.

[jimmydutch94]

@Drarkan i lke it too

[DicoSpeedLeader]

this has got to be my favorite tune out of all the Castlevania soundtracks.

[666Winterdemon666]

the gba version is the best in my opinion

[RAPTOR948]

@666Winterdemon666 I feel "The Sinking Old Sanctuary" is a song best on consoles, it sounds better on consoles than handhelds in my view. and the N64 is the best sounding midi version. if it was orchestrated, it'd sound even better.

[RAPTOR948]

I liked the quiet mellow feel of the N64 version, the GBA version wasnt that good, but the Sega Genesis version was pretty sweet. overall though, I think it sounded better on N64, considering everything. still, regardless it's a pretty sweet song.

[SparktheHedgehog]

The second was epic but COTM was my first Castlevania so COTM version wins :P

[XikoSkovia]

I prefer bloodlines but I can honestly say that I like every castlevania song. they offer alot of variety, from darker tunes that set the mood for boss battles to majestic melodies that capture the mystic and magic of the world of castlevania... simply amazing

[X3rd0ra5]

Thank you for watching my video!

Soon I will release some other compilations like this one. may be about Super Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy or other games! I hope that you will watch and enjoy them too ;)

[Drarkhan]

Am i really the only one who likes the N64 version the best?

[X3rd0ra5]

@Drarkhan No you are not the only one. It is my favorite version too ;)

[deseriak]

@X3rd0ra5 I wholeheartedly agree.  :-)

[darkusdude21]

@X3rd0ra5 I AGREE! I heart Legacy of Darkness ver. Meke a club for sinking old sanctuary !

[pl5050lol]

@X3rd0ra5 n64 sound better than the other on the other one are good but not as good as the n 64

[doofboy86]

@Drarkhan Goodness no, I love the N64 version!

[Yacamiwolf]

@Drarkhan of course not,i love n64 version! is the best

[TerrorTheWolf]

@Drarkhan honestly i think the n64 song was way better than anything else

[DivineBanana]

@Drarkhan i like their take on it but i do like the bloodlines better

[galti111]

@Drarkhan No. No, you're not! The N64 verion is superb! Best version of a great theme, imho.

[TrevorCBelmont]

@Drarkhan

you aint alone :D

[weglarz]

Bloodlines is awesome!

[ZeroX1803]

best as far, Bloodlines

second circle of the Moon

last the legacy of darkness

[ImUrDoppelganger]

i never played legacy of darkness before...is it one of the better castlevania games?

[MacaroniLololol]

They're all good. It's a good piece. The one from LoD was by far the most atmospheric and has the best pacing (the entire game itself had an amazing gloomy atmosphere). Can't say much about Bloodlines, since I never played it, and I just think that the one from CoTM is catchy, like gnahzdivad said.

[FlipReaper1986]

OMG love this theme. :D

[19Szabolcs91]

CotM was my first Castlevania game and I loved this song from it.

And I still like that version the best.

[clayzee001]

@19Szabolcs91 was my first too :D

[amarmehta01]

the LoD vrsion is a lot slower than the Bloodlines Version I think the developers wanted different feeling evoked from the same music. the Bloodlines version is more urgent than the LoD version. i think that the LoD is more moody. the CoM version has too much bass than the others.

[TheWanderingNight]

This is a song that takes patience to appreciate - especially the mildly eccentric Genesis version. It dabbles between catchy, flowing, heroic...quite a mixture!

The Genesis version loops quite forcefully and unnaturally, which the LoD version fixes by recapitulating the theme before it loops, though discarding much of its animated charm. CotM does the opposite to LoD and focuses more on its semi-hidden bass rhythm and manages to shape out a creative arrangement based on it.

[PhantasyStarLover]

I'm a patient person, but I did not need any patience to appreciate this song (the Bloodlines version). I fell in love immediately.

[CoolxBreese]

@TheWanderingNight

That was the most descriptive and thoughtful comment on this page. I like it a lot better than the "My favorite version is awesome, everything else sukz!" comments others are leaving. After all, don't they all shine in their own way?

[VShalak]

The Genesis version is definitely the best (hands down, no questions, no comments). The Legacy of Darkness version is just a boring slowed down synth string remix, and the CoTM version replaces the best part of the song with something completely different, which doesn't do it any good.

[MiracleKD18]

The oriinal Bloodlines version and the Legacy of Darkness version are the best.

That GBA version sucks.

[hellking5]

in my opinion lod is better cuz i just like slower music XD but genises is good

[gnahzdivad]

They are all wonder renditions. Genesis = nostalgic win, the LoD version had more general flow and was matched the game well, and Cotm was just mad catchy.

[evilotto91]

bloodlines has that genesis bass charm so it wins lol

[solesurvivor5]

The Bloodlines and LoD are perfect because they only lasted one level, the CotM version was ok but they seriously overused it and wears on you

[ganondorf59]

COTM takes it IMO.

[MiracleKD18]

I prefer the original Bloodlines version over all others.

[Mungo13]

COTM version is the catchiest in a poppy sense but Bloodlines is so epic and fitting to the game. I wish I had played Legacy of Darkness but that one sounds very atmospheric

[manubeatmaikah]

Best Castlevania song i think

[donmarioelking]

BRAVO BRAVO Magnificent Bloody work of Art!!

[Infestedeliwood]

The Legacy of Darkness version was a much needed fleshing out of the original to the at the time most orchestrated extent that technology could provide, while still being in a game. The change to 3/4 counts makes all the difference. It's almost amazing how that change and pacing has made this song very graceful.

But of course, I'm prejudice because I first heard this on the N64.

[MattTheSpratt]

But the original was in 3/4 notation as well.

[maladeius]

I love this songs all 3, but the first one (Bloodlines) gives me so much memories back from the time I played it on the Sega Megadrive.

Old school games ftw!

[SPQRichter]

hell yea!

[haden9]

for its time, bloodlines had really great music, while the legacy of darkness sounds really smooth i will stick with bloodlines been the best version

[J1MB08]

i think if they merged the two it would sound so awesome

[GentlemanAeon777]

i like all of them :D

but mostly the Legacy of Darkness one :D

[jvlivzmania22]

nah! the bloodlines version is the best

[WhatKindOfCake]

@jvlivzmania22 Hell yes the bloodlines version is the best.Best video game soundtrack in existence imo.

[markjr29]

can some one give me bass tabs for this song

[ReconPrime]

Love the Bloodlines one the most.

[pawel1818]

Me too becasue ideal for stage, i dont know how looks stage in Legacy of Darkness, but in Circle of the moon its just...Tower :P

[jediknightgeo]

In Legacy of Darkness this song played on treasure/painting themed level. Kinda hard to really explain it but it went well with the level.

[fatalframe95]

I think it was the waltz feel to it... Coul you imagine what it would sound like if a real orchestra played it?? XDD Epicness

[Bmies89]

Castlevania - The Concert is in Stockholm 19 Feb 2010. Orchestra + rock band!

[Nakeiadragon]

Wow I mean The Legacy of Darkness is Very Beautiful! It has just the best like enchanted mystical music.

[Nakeiadragon]

I think that the second one was the best. The Legac of darkness.

[TheSojournToTheWest]

There all soooo good! but i have to decide that Circle of the moon is the best : /

[AlienSabre]

I think I like the GBA Version better

[asskicker562]

lol look at 7:00 doesn't it look like that the axe armors wearing a dress and also bloodlines one was the best

[Jaimitow]

I prefer Circle of the moon ^^

[TrevorCBelmont]

dude that Pal cover for Legacy of Darkness is SWEET im jealous. lol

[devilbelmont]

bloodlines version is the best!!!!

[Michelle2815CV]

I think Bloodlines always make the song hippy an swift (of course also COOL)

[1292668]

The N64 version is beatiful, a master piece!!!!

[crazyiproshow]

The N64 one is breathtaking...

my mom thought i was listening to classical music...lol

[DamascusTer]

The N64 version is incedibly beautiful ! Wonderful remix. The GBA version is just horrible.

[Hamlin4th]

both are all good but I like the bloodlines version the best, then the N64 one, and finally circle of the moon's

[Shinryu1988]

the first one is the most beautiful so far in my opinion eheh

[Hazelminker]

indeed

[GreatFox42]

I do adore this song. IU wonder why no one else thought of this idea?

[xSayPleasex]

@GreatFox42 if you mean Castlevania complilations - check out scigamerfan07, he has the best compilations on youtube, peace
