Holy shit if I'd bought CV4 in 1991 thinking I'd get something as good as CV3 I would've been pissed.

I like both. I've never cared that much for the other characters in III. I stick with Trevor the entire time, with the exception being using Alucard to make some of that path's shittier moments less grating.

That's how I play the game as well. I use Alucards bat form for the one screen where blocks are falling and it takes several minutes to make a tower high enough for you to reach the stairs, hate that shit. And the part near the end of the game where it's a super difficult water path with fishmen and crows all over the place.
