I'm SURE the devil cried...

So, I picked up Devil May Cry 3 the other day. I must say that the reported difficulty was right on. Even on easy it about has me wanting to go cry to my mom. Though the game is incredibly cool, especially if you're into the HK movies like I am. Gunslinger style is right up my alley. Along with some of the new acrobatic type moves like slinging around a pole and nailing someone with the shotgun or slicing em in half with my sword. It's far too cool. The combos are a lot easier to string together as I can chain em with a few shots with the pistols. Capcom really made up for that abomination of a game, which shall not be named. The camera is still a little twitchy in it's conrol, but it stays close enough so that you don't miss any of the action. It's returned to the same type of style that the first game had. The reasons for being where you are are clearly defined instead of "hey i'm on an island this mission in the middle of nowhere and then...I'm in a city infested by demons that's nowhere on said island" with no reason for being anywhere. Caocom outdid themselves on this one in just the fun factor that I enjoyed in the first one. The second one tried to implement some cool additions but the camera was so screwy that you didn't even notice them or you were so irritated by the "story" that you didn't really care. DMC 2 was the Highlander 2 of the series...it should have just never been made.
