Man this is a really great game. Not many flaws at all. My only regret is my age. Im 32 now so I cant enjoy this game in the way I would've if I was younger. I keep thinking to myself had this came out when I was younger this would be an all time favorite game for me. I would spend hours doing absolutely nothing. Now that Im older I just dont have the time or patience. Dont get me wrong, I still did ALOT of the side stuff but I feel i missed out on some because I want to get to other games. But anyway rating this game on its own merits its a masterpice. Top 3 in the franchise for me. This is like a dragon but bigger with so much more to do. If there is a weakness it has to be that the kasuga side of the story isnt as great as past stories or kiriyu's side in this game but its still enjoyable. Nothing much else to say. This game is great and a great sendoff for one of gamings legends kiriyu.

Personally, this is my favorite in the trilogy. I understand why somemight prefer the older ones. This one is definitely easier than the others but its gameplay also feels the most polished and complete. In truth, the story never reached quite the heights the first one did but as the series sort of transformed into a shonen anime in game form i personally think this one worked best. Travis is such an underrated protagonist. One of my favorites. If this is truly the end of his story he will be missed. This series deserves the same respect as dmc, bayonetta and ninja gaiden honestly and its better than those in its own ways. Really enjoyed this one.
