What in the heck was Gamespot thinking when they reviewed this game?!
My Breakdown:
What's Good:
- Unique gameplay experience for its time
- Nice alternative to the usual DMC gameplay
- Multiple Legions to chose from = Multiple Strategies against hords of enemies and bosses
- Great graphics for its time
What's Not-So-Good:
- The story could get a bit confusing at times
- *SPOILER ALERT* Teasing you with an almighty Legion in the beginning of the game, stripping you of it, and making it significantly weaker when you get it back towards the end *END SPOILER*
- The "legion" of powerful enemies can be a bit overwhelming at times
What's Bad:
- Not being able to jump at will!!!! Sure some of your combos may cause you to hack and slash the enemies in mid air but there is no button or button combination to jump whenever you want. This also makes it harder to avoid large groups of enemies and dodging certain attacks.
In all, C'mon Gamespot...lighten up! This game is far from perfect but I enjoyed it far more than DMC2! Its as equally unquie as it is enjoyable. Its at least worth trying out.
