The combat is pushed even further in this game with even more combo potential. Nero is a great addition who in this game is even more fun than Dante. That's partly because a lot of the game is designed around him rather than Dante. Because of that, a lot of the enemies don't work great with Dante's move set, making his segment a lot weaker than Nero's. The camera also uses a lot less fixed angles, which seems good at first. However, the combat is so fast and wild that the camera keeps swinging around, messing up some inputs. The action cutscenes and character personality are possibly the best in the series, but the actual story is really lackluster. I sometimes forget how much character development comes from the supplementary material rather than the story mode itself. Still a great character action game and the one that sets the standard for the genre's combat.
