i finally have the game and let me tell you its awesome, DMC fans wont be disappointed. its a mixed of DMC1 (Nero part) and DMC3 (Dante part) which is great.
on to the gameplay impression;
i know i complained the first time when this was announced that Nero will be the main character, but i was wrong, he is a great character a welcome addition to the series. Nero adds a new dept and gameplay to the series, and his devil bringer hand is the best addition to the game. His move-set maybe lacking compair to Dante, but the combination of his sword play with the devil bringer make for a great and satisfying gameplay.
Dante's gameplay on the other hand is for the most part the same moveset from the last game(DMC3). the improvement comes from on the fly style switching which really enhance his gameplay and combo possibilities even more. Also Dante gets all of the cool weapons in the game, imo best weapon sets in the series and i might add probably the coolest weapon ever, Pandora's Box
. the only problem with his portion was you only get to control him for 7 missions, you cant play as Dante for the entire game
. but dont worry you can play both Nero and Dante in the Bloody Palace mode.
so i highly recommend the game, trutst me, you wont be disappointed. we must support Capcom. they need money to make Dead Rising 2.
