got the game yesterday, im not far off in the game, in fact im bearly on level 5. so far its actually not as bad as the reviews indicate. dante has alot of new moves at his disposal, wall ride, double jumps, flip moves, floaties like the matrix etc...
though the gameplay is not as polished compair to the last game, its still pretty ok. it feels ackward at first, but once u get to know how to chain combos, you'll learn to appreciate the game more.
the levels are bigger with tons to explore. graphics, its improve over the last game.
yes, the game is easier than DMC. so far the enemies/bosses are pretty lame, they dont put up much of a fight.
my other complaint is that you cant buy abilities anymore
instead its replace by weapons upgrades and such..
Still its a pretty solid game.. yea, i suggest renting it first and find out if your going to like it or not. but for those devil may cry fans, buy it !!
btw, its true what they say, dante doesnt do that cool taunts anymore
