If you look beyound all the dirt this game piles unto itself you actually have a decent combat system with some great mechanics like how it handles weapon switching. But at the end of the day there is a lot of dirt to dig thorugh, like a terrible story tat makes you wonder what drug was going around the writers room, a terrible artstyle every where you look, boring level design and incredibly dull boss fights, and just to add insult to injury these are all things that the original DMC series excelled at.
