I thought it was an average Devil May Cry clone with not much to distance it from the pack. I got it for $33.33 on the TRU deal and I wish I’d have purchased it when it was in the $15-$20 range. Not to say it’s a bad game, since all elements are executed competently, but it feels very generic. The experience system from SOTN wouldn’t have been tough to implement and it would have added a lot to the game. It seems futile to have so much backtracking without any purpose, but leveling up during the process would have made it a lot easier to swallow. It’s also on the short side, which is OK, but a game of this length should be 100% action with no backtracking. I thought this might have been the game to knock DMC off its throne when I sized it up during prerelease but it obviously wasn’t. Then again, even Capcom hasn’t surpassed its own creation. If you want a hack and slash that stands out and does something different from the pack, I recommend Zone of the Enders 2. It’s also a short game, but I guarantee you’ll never be bored while playing it.
