Started with the series with this...now I'm hooked
I had a bit of a learning curve to get through but it was a great game overall. Boss fights were slick, characters were perfect and cinematics were exceptional.
Only drawbacks I could think of were how you got to halfway and you have to go back the way you came in as a different character which led me to believe a slight lack of continuous imagination. Also I don't think I'm the only one when I say I found learning Dante's moves a challenge in comparison to Nero's. Finally....I'm an achievement hunter but having to go through all the game's difficulties again was a little tedious but it did at least test your abilities and use what you have learnt to good use.
Overall verdict? I found the game a great joy to play and thanks to that alone I have been since an avid DMC fan all thanks to Dant, his cool weapons and cocky attitude
