The game is really pretty, and the music is fantastic. But the jump-puzzles using your "Devil Bringer" (a grappling hook type device) are HORRIBLE. The camera angles switch on you in flight, and if you fail in your run, you have to start all over ... the point where I decided I was sick of being frustrated and not having any fun was only in the 3rd mission. If you miss the run of grappling swings at all, or don't let go in time between swings, or the targeting system locks onto the wrong thing - you go tumbling down and have to fight your way out of room full of boring enemies again, before getting another shot at the sequence. I guess it's some sort of 'punishment,' but I play games to be entertained, not to be punished. It's too bad because the game is really beautiful, but I'm putting it back in the mailbox right now.
