This is contrary to how he treats non-Nes Sega Master System game Master of Darkness which he just calls a Castlevania rip-off as well as mediocre. Anybody who's played that game knows it's probably one of the best games for the console and while I have certain bias for it; to overlook what Sega did with that game just seems like a complete waste of analysis.
As with any game it's really open to the person and anyone should play the game for themselves before passing judgement. Kalata is perhaps too forgiving in some areas due to his nostalgia of Castlevania as well as the Nes but as a book covering the series with a wealth of info I have to say not bad at all.
