The game's not perfect. Let's get that out of the way. The enemy AI is unbelievely stupid--especially the grunts. But the hair-trigger action that leads up to the boss encounters are amazing. The "learn from your mistakes" gameplay is what makes this game top draw on my list. There are several ways to approach each level, and you are constantly on the move shooting enemies and dodging rocket fire (although yes the enemy AI is kinda on the dumb side so this isn't much of a challenge), taking all that together makes the game a worthy new franchise for Capcom. A lot less frustrating than the Devil May Cry series, but just as visually stunning. I highly recommend it as a second course after the mighty Gears of War.
