  • Well, it didn't take 10-15 hours to beat Devil May Cry, but what a fuckin' ride...

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

Took just under five hours to beat (or at least that's what the clock said, I'd add on about 2-3 hours of frustrating defeats). The battle system is awesome, and as much as I love the Resident Evil series, RE4 is going to feel slow as hell unless they completely revamp the controls (so that Chris/Jill/Claire don't stand there calmly shooting one bullet every second while surrounded by zombies or giant spiders).

The game frustrated the hell out of me... beating Phantom for the first time took about ten tries, just because I didn't know how the hell to do it. The same could be said for a lot of enemies in the game. But mastering the controls and Dante's abilities really helped.

Ending kinda sagged, but overall this is, what I belive to be, the PS2's first 'A' title (GT3, Silent Hill 2, and ICO all getting B's from me).

Buy buy buy (or if you're thrifty, rent rent rent)!</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'm going through in Hard mode right now... it's kicking me in the fucking balls. Think normal is tough, try again. And I'm sure DMD will be a ride all of it's own. :)

First thing I'm doing when I beat hard is go through normal again and stock up like a madman.

And you're right on the Phantom thing, took me forever to beat him... but now that I've gotten used to the gameplay, he seems like such a pushover!

Now Nightmare... he's a fucking asshole. If you're ever going to break a controller, it'll be on this guy.</div>
