The free-style combat is its main draw. You will gain control of two characters that have their own moves and style of play. Nero is more user friendly to newcomers and offers a lot of great moves with an optional Instant Rev mechanic to make the most out of his abilities.
Dante is a bit tougher to get used to, but what you have access to is an overwhelming amount of moves and fighting styles that you can change at the touch of a button. This game encourages you to mix and match your moves and since most can be cancelled, you're able to be creative and come up with some insane and stylish combos.
Simply put, if you're a fan of action, hack and slash games, then you need to give this game a try. The game's focus is all about combat and the mechanics are really deep, but only if you pursue further interest in it. If you're unsure about it, then give it a rent. It's not without its flaws, but I think it is a fantastic game that is definitely worth owning.
