nice, i love the comparison between the two main characters. i'm really not a fan of the dmc games, so it's good to see this one get a thorough bashing. never seen the appeal. at all.

I laughed.  I don't know if the bashing is deserved, but funny it is.  I played the demo, and had some problems with it.  Dizziness is one.  The camera is not only on rails, but it tilts, swivels and pops to new locations uncontrollably.  I almost couldn't get out of one corridor because the perspective would invert suddenly, causing me to reenter the same space over and over until I took it real slow.  The fighting seems well done, but I'm just not much into brawlers.  Pretty.  No doubt about it.

I'd watch but I'm too lazy.  There's tons of shit to make fun of with DMC, but it still does what it does better than most.

After beating this tonight and highly enjoying it, I can only agree with his comment about running through some of the levels in reverse with Dante but its not as bad as he made it seem, but that's his thing.  Some of the comments about Nero were kinda funny though.
