Also for fun here's that 1 star review of Dracula X from Next Gen you cite... and they aren't slamming it for being a 2D game. They're slamming it because it's a 2 years too late inferior rehash of a better Castlevania game.
Added bonus: Another Koei published game with simpler, worse 2D graphics getting a better score. Oh that EVIL anti-2D bias!
