for me the best would probably be Symphony of the Night
mainly because I love alucard as a character, and it was my first of the "new age" castlevania games
and probably the best anyways
(plus Harmony of Dispair isn't very complete because it's meant to be multiplayer)
My LEAST favorite (note I've played EVERY castlevania game except the DS/PS2 ones) is Castlevania... The Adventure
think castlevania 2, made liner (so castlevania 1 only outside) on the black and white gameboy screen, with more or less broken gameplay

I've only played three Castlevania games, Dracula X chronicles (Rondo of blood remake), Lords of Shadow, and Circle of the Moon.
I would say Lords of shadow is my favourite out of those, followed very closely by Rondo of blood.
I only played Circle of the moon for five minutes, and I didn't find it all that good.
EDIT: I also remember playing vampire's kiss (Snes version of Rondo of blood) and Castlevania 64 on a emulator, and both of them are god awful.

Best: Order of Ecclesia
Worst: Probably Portrait of ruin.
I really only have experience with the first game, and it's DS incarnations. But if you have not played Order of ecclesia you are missing out on one of the best castlevania games this side of the mississippi.

Best - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (though the challenge of the game took a serious plunge when you acquired the Crissaegrim sword)
Worst - Castlevania 64. Watched my uncle try to play it and it almost made me want to throw up things I had already forgotten about eating.

best: Rondo of Blood
worst: idk, I really did enjoyed all of them, and I never played Castlevania 2
and yes, that means I enjoyed Castlevania 64 and Legacy of Darkness

My favorite is probably Dawn of Sorrow. I have a sentimental love of Castlevania III, but I really loved the soul collecting in Dawn of Sorrow and put a load of hours into it.
I have yet to dislike a Castlevania game, though I've only played the NES and DS entries plus Lords of Shadow. Lords of Shadow is probably the weakest just due to having a few design flaws and aggravating bits, but was still a fun game.

The only ones I've played are Castlevania, Symphony of the Night and Lords of Shadow.
Symphony of the Night is probably my least favourite. Too much like Metroid, and I prefer being one of the Belmonts to Alucard.

Best: Castlevania and The Legacy Of Darkness. Includes the original 64 as well.
Worst: Castlevania II. WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO WASTE SOME TIME
Worst: Castlevania II. WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO WASTE SOME TIME
Best: ...any of the Metroidvania games. Symphony of the Night, Dawn of Sorrow and Aria of Sorrow were all great.
Worst: Super Castlevania IV. I just never liked the ones with no RPG elements... and that one only seemed to exist to "show off the SNES's graphics" at the time.
