Ive never written a review about any game before, but after playing this one, I'm pretty much forced to.
First, the storyline. What I liked the most about it was not just the content, but the speed of it. Within the first 20 mins of the game your pretty much already in the underworld and fighting minions. If people are complaining its a short game, they're are misguided. If the game seems fast, its because the story develops and progresses at a sped up rate, but I feel that its a good thing because it just lets you get back to the action that much quicker.
Next, the actual game play. What got me first was the fluidity of the game. The movements of Dante and his attacks were smooth and looked like they just led into one another (not choppy). I noticed no lag between entering the controls and the execution of the move. With the speed and control, the attack sequences are intense.
Graphics: Using an HDMI cable and a 24 inch screen, the graphics were a lot better than I thought it would be. There were crisp images and beautiful environments. I thought the lighting would be awkward in a game set in the underworld, but it turned out stunning. Also, yes, there is nudity, but if you feel like thats an issue, grow up.
Sound: Great voice acting, especially when performing certain attacks. Really makes you feel the grit and anguish in the game. Your in the underworld after all, people pretty much should be screaming and getting tortured.
Overall, I loved every aspect of the game. You can really tell the developers took their time in making this game and paid close attention to every detail. After beating the game, I found only one minor glitch, a feat not too many games can even boast about. As a side note, I loved the fact that they incorporated a wicked Scythe into the game instead of sword or something. Really added depth to the grandeur of it all.
Well, that's my first review. Hope you found it helpful. Would definitely recommend picking this game up and playing it.
