Close call, on my part, because I just got off work and stopped at Wal-Mart to find a copy. They didn\'t have any! I have four days off, so you better show me it sometime this weekend...

Damn shame that you\'re so dissapointed.

It got 7\'s from EGM too...awful story, poor targeting, lacks innovation, ok visuals, ridiculously easy, and lacks the "punch" of the first game.

Sounds like a rental to me:)

Will do Lic. Tonight if you get up?

MpTheory did you play DMC 1 quite a bit? Like through DMD mode? I think maybe if a person did not then they would like this game more.

I guess per say it is not that bad. The thing is it does not have the same DMC feel that everyone is use to. Or atleast for me that is what it is.

A remark from a different board which fits well here

I think much of the \'disappointment\' many seem to have for th game just range from the fact that the original was SO FREAKN incredible and such a new experience that many people had vastly unreal expectations for the sequel.


I\'m not defending the practice but I\'ve come to expect to see no more from a sequel like this than an upgrade in looks (on PS2 at least) and a change in scenery.

It gave up on trying to stylish because the game seems to make you run around with the gun fire button pushed


Does that mean using the sword is too much of a challenge? Me no understand :confused: Why not use the sword more if the game is too easy with guns?

But the original DMC feel rocked damn it.It was a game of skill.A game where you created style from skill.

I am buying it for sure though.But I expected it to be better.

This is no upgrade. Sure it has the character Dante, but that is about it. The way you leveled everything up in the first is pretty much gone. The coolness factor has left the game. The director left it for what I can only imagine is what he believes an action game should be. An upgrade would be the same game with a different levels, but the same core game. You will realize this is not the same game when you fight an entire boss battle not seeing the boss, but for a moment every now and again.

I have done that also. For one thing bosses for the most part require a gun. Not to mention the the lock on system feels a bit different. Heck alot of the times your camera is pulled so far back Dante looks like you are mile above. he seriously looks to be the size of an ant at places. This kind of negates your sword idea.

By upgrade I meant visuals. Have heard some wowing about graphics but outside of larger levels, nothing specific. An ant sized Dante- seriously?

Truthfully, while I enjoyed the first one, a sequel wasn\'t going to interest me much unless almost everyone raved about it. Going by the accounts even of those having a lot of fun with 2 so far, I see nothing more than a rent in my future. Really sorry to hear it was a big let down for ya Cap. How about finishing to see if it picks up for you in a harder mode next time through?

Playing it now, as I type this. The first thing I noticed that has changed is the fact your sword is no longer a must use item. Infact, you can just stand in the middle of the enviroment and shoot and you\'ll have no problems what-so-ever. The game is no longer  about makin\' long stylish combo\'s and what not..
