My first game in the original DMC franchise. While it was decent, I never enjoyed spectacle fighters. Finding and doing cool combos was never something that interested me. I just wanted to find what worked and used it until the end to beat the game.

Perfectly fine game. If a little less fun than DMC 3.

The way you could cut seemingly everything in the demo I played blew my mind back when I played it. After remembering it's existence way later I gave it a shot. It was fine for what it was. But I'm still not a fan of spectacle fighters, although the story was fun to watch unfold.
With that said, this does have one of the best soundtracks of all time out of any game.
