So has anyone tried this game out yet? I rented it just a few days ago, and holy crap is it hard. Profoundly badass beyond words, but insanely hard all the same. Apparently the US version's normal difficulty is the Japanese version's hard mode, so I guess Capcom figured we would find it to be too easy...
And I don't mean it eventually gets extremely difficult, the second mission in the game kicked my ass about 5 times before I beat it. And the third mission....dear god. It's not so much the fact that it's incredibly hard as it's the complete lack of a checkpoint system. You spend sometimes over an hour struggling through an intensely difficult mission, only to get ABSOLUTELY RAPED by the boss at the end (and there is a boss at the end of EVERY mission), and then you must start the ENTIRE mission over again.
So yeah, this sh*t is damn hard, makes Ninja Gaiden look like cake (and for those who managed to beat that, I'm sure you're probably terrified of DMC3 now).
But when you're not getting completely annihilated by enemies, this game is tremendously badass. Right at the second mission, I was preforming more insanely amazing combos and moves than I did in the whole of DMC1. And there's a very nice variety of weapons, each with an incredible amount of maneuvers, and you can switch between weapons on the fly by simply tapping L2 or R2, making for some unbelievable spectacles in combat.
If you're looking for some extreme action, or just feel like getting your ass kicked, go check out DMC3. I just want to say thank you to Capcom for coming back with an awesome addition to the DMC series, especially after the disgrace that was DMC2.
