I don't know, unless the game does something completely different from the demo, I've seen other games, equally good, get lesser scores....


What was your problem with the demo?

It was a great Hack´ Slash Action game. I mean that´s what the fans of the series want. This and some badass bossfights. But thats a thing of perception I guess.

Targeting was my biggest complaint.  The camera was borderline bad.  Not being able to single out an enemy with a combo is a bad idea.  The combo system was superfluous, the styles didn't really add anything to the combo system.  Forcing you to hit enemies with a certain style isn't strategy if the combo your doing is the same.  Lack of overall strategy with enemies.  Boss fight was good, but the dialogue was bad, I mean this happened: "Boss: Fuck you!  Dante: Fuck You! Boss: No Fuck You! Dante: No Fuck You!", I mean that's worse than the crap that was written for Final Fantasy XIII.  Story was interesting though, I liked the idea of Dante fighting in Limbo.  The game was overall an above average hack n slash, it's a bit better than Devil May Cry 2, but not much.  Unless the game does something really crazy good outside the demo, these review scores honestly look bought.  That being said I'm just basing my opinion off the demo.
