Beating down fools
If you like beating up fools then this is the game for you. In a Metal Gear Solid 2 style twist, everyone's favorite demon hunter Dante is not the sole protagonist in this outing. We are introduced to Nero, who looks strangely like Dante, but is more emo/whiny, in comparison to Dante who just tries to come off as a badass all the time.
I never play these games for their story, everyone plays DMC for the combat and I am pleased to say that this game delivers in spades. There is no such thing as defense in this game. Your goal is to unload as much punishment on your enemies in as "stylish" a way as possible in the pursuit of red jewel chunks.
I personally prefer Nero's combat style which relies heavily on the Devil Bringer which is his devil arm which allows his to snatch enemies and slam them into the ground. Dante's combat style is more multifaceted thanks to on-the-fly style switching.
The game looks gorgeous. My main gripes come from the fact that once you switch to Dante you basically play the game again in reverse and then the last "board game" segment is just awful even if you know how to get thru it without getting punished constantly.
Overall if you like the DMC series then you will like this game.
