An excellent action title that shouldn't be missed
First off, you now play as new character, Nero. At first it takes some adjusting. He plays much differently from Dante (the previous protagonist for you DMC newmies), but for all the right reasons.
Nero is given a unique weapon: the God Hand. Basically, it's his arm thats enchanted with demonic power, but it's pretty sweet. You can use it to pull off some pretty sweet moves-especially on Bosses.
Speaking of which, you'll be thankfull all of them are good, because for three of them you'll end up fighting 3 times...
The story remains interesting through the whole game, and when you get to play as Dante you'll get one of the coolest weapons in videogame history, the Pandora, You'll have to play it to see it though ; )
Overall it's an excellent game that should keep you busy until Ninja Gaiden 2 comes out
