the review was preety good and the score reasonable. Once i have played through the game a few times ill be able to judge how well the games flaws have been represented since "repetive" can be bad or it can be good, im assuming that the levels are repeative but the combat shouldn't be. I mean Nero has a twist to his game play and Dante has an increased arsenal of weapons + the ability to switch styles on the go.

Another issue we have with the combat mechanics is the lack of a block buttonIGN on Heavenly Sword
What does Devil May Cry not have? A block button. Weird how that's not an issue in this game, huh.

Technically if you time your sword swings right you can block. You just don't have an auto block. Its easier just to dodge though, an auto block would just slow the combat down like in AC.

Who the hell cares about a block button in DMC, they never had a block button in any of the DMC games besides DMC3 with the Royal Guard style. It doesn't matter what they say about the game, DMC is DMC and there's nothing better.

You don't need an improvement for a mechanic that works well already. I'm glad they haven't changed much of the game mechanic as a matter of fact. I play because the storyline is amazing.

I'm not faulting DMC for not having a block button, I'm questioning IGN's reasoning as to why they fault Heavenly Sword for not having one.

Why isn't everyone flaming IGN for that rating? If GS gave this game an 8.7 everyone would have a heart attack. You can quote me on this: If GS gives this game lower than a 9, people here are piss and moan about till the end of time. People still won't shut up about the Uncharted rating and that game wasn't half as hyped as this one is.

My opinion is that everyone shouldn't care what the game got as far as reviews..as long as you like it and enjoy it then that's all that matters.

Exactly, don't fix what ain't broken.

My only concern was that the difficulty was tuned down as in the SE of DMC3, but it seems it's not. So DMC4 is DEFINITELY a must buy for me now. Gotta have my ass kicked once in a while!! :D

lol So true.

yeah, it would slow down the action though, unless they built in a great counter system.
