Wow! This game is so intense! I've got the hang of the game pretty much, and after you realize the enemies weaknesses, they are somewhat easier to fight. I even tried to exploit dumb ai, but to no avail. I held up pretty well the first time I played the game, getting to mission 3, then I started dieing there and finally decided to go on easy mode. I know I'll be playing this game for a long time (because replay value seems great!). Whoever is reading this and likes action games or even the first DMC, I command you: BUY THIS GAME! You won't regret it.
