You're not the only one. I honestly spent a more hours than i should have playing it just to craft all weapons, and also to level up and explore the different kinds of evolution of innocent devils.

the devil is not as black as he painted
yep, exactly that, the weapon crafting, demon forging and levelling up was the thing that hooked me up, plus the world was also fun to explore, wasn't limited to exploring castle --tho this was somewhat the point to CASTLEvania.. and funnily i missed that in LoS and LoS 2

If you don't think my word as a fan is sacred, allow me to point to a friend I have in real life.
This guy is a hardcore Castlevania fan. He's collected and played every game in the series, from the Famicom to the PC-Engine...he has MET Igarashi, gone to countless conventions dressed up as Richter, and I'm fairly certain he'd legally change his name to Belmont if he could. And on top of all that, he loves Lords of Shadow 2 so much that it actually dislodged Rondo of Blood as his favorite game in the series.
You aren't in the minority, pal. A lot of hardcore Castlevania fans like Lords of Shadow. It's just become a cool thing for non-fans to trash the game for being a "God of War-clone"...because I assume none of these plebs played Legacy of Kain, and saw how much God of War copied from THAT.

I haven't played Circle of the Moon yet. Is it more like Classicvania, or Metroidvania?

Curse of Darkness really was great, I also feel I'm in the minority for being a fan of it.
The scope of the game was actually HUGE with areas outside the castle as such as forests, chapels,machine towers, and many more areas.
I also loved the devel forging system as well as being able to craft various weapons as well as find various weapons which really gave me more of a symphony of the night vibe since lament of innocence lacked weapons like swords (unless you count joachim),spears,and hammers.
And the music was simply the best score out of the CV series for me, they really broke the mold with that soundtrack that was simply fantastic, even better than SOTN in my honest opinion.
But a few major things made the game lower in my book despite me enjoying it a lot was the fact that it completely lacked platforming which is a staple for the CV series.
Another thing was as I pointed out earlier the game is actually pretty big, and yet Hector is pretty darn slow, its like he is just taking a brisk jog through areas which makes it so tedious and thanks to lack of platforming it makes it boring.
And last but not least is the uninspired castlevania castle in the game which doesn't feel like THE castle of Dracula and is so bland, the very weird thing is that the abandoned castle at the beginning of the game feels more like castlevania than the actually castlevania in the game...

I have feeling LoS2 was a little rushed. If they took more time to make better concept for the world around you and better enemies, it would have been more interesting.

The castle and underworld.was cool but the sciences district was very boring, I loved the goatling and otjer demons though.It was nice having aggressive enemies that blocked and had unblockable attacks, they were smart too attacking in groups which is why the combat is so great.The weapon switching is pretty fluid and makes for some great aerial combat and cancels, and mist form is ace I love it andif you use the double jump and then somersault just before landing and then sromp down and mist teleport you can do five evades and jumps which looks epic

Can I say the Rondo of Blood remake that was at the beginning of Symphony of the Night?

That's allowed, since it was a slightly easier game than the original.
See, 2.5D graphics slow every thing down just enough to notice the difference.

The "science world" would've been a lot better had Mercury Steam waited for the sequel and only focused on that.
But you're right, just having the castle world in LoS2 would've been a lot better because it would've had more development time on it.

To clarify, I don't mean the Dracula X Chronicles version of Rondo of Blood on PSP that had Symphony of the Night on it, I mean in the opening portion of Symphony of the Night where you played the ending of Rondo of Blood with Richter fighting Dracula, where we got out beloved "What is a man!?" speech
