Hm, a bit lower than I expected, but according to GS, it's still a pretty good game. I've always been more of a Ninja Gaiden fan though.

Good thing I didn't review because I thought it sucked after playing the demo, though I've never been a fan of button mashers/hack n' slashes.

Pardon me? Button mashing hack and slash? Devil May Cry games require Smokin' Sick Stylish moves, unlike other button mashers that copied from the original DMC.

Sounds about right. I've played about 7 hours so far and it's a 7.5 for me.

It is a hack and slash game though.

Not really a button masher, it's incredibly combo based. However the demo was from E3 '06. I recommend renting it.

Anyway a great score (I really don't care, since GS is known for their exceptional credibility :roll: ). I'll be picking it up tomorrow.

TO be honest i actually liked this review. Hmmm i mean i would have scored it higher, but it didnt have all the contradictions that MP3 review had so good review i guess, and its about whateveryone else is giving it.

Assassin's Creed, NMH,...

Although I may have agreed with him with some of his reviews.

Hey Kevin, I'm sure you're nice though.

I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to ask this, but does the game have an incredibly high difficulty setting that makes it on-par with the difficulty of previous titles on Dante Must Die Mode? I'm just wondering, because in the review you said it was a challenge, but not necessarily as extreme as previous entries...

I know that there are unlockable settings, but do they really compare?

8.0 is still a great score. And I sure it worth getting if you are a DMC fan.
