Here's a video review of the full game, not just the demo:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM-gEthxX2w

It points out the "flaws" of the game and arrives to the conclusion that the game is average at best. All of this, of course, is according to the reviewer's opinion. Now, could you please watch it and tell me exactly what makes this opinion invalid ? I know you will probably disagree, but there's a difference between disagreeing with an opinion and claiming it's wrong, so I want you to tell me exactly what invalidates his opinion, if anything does.

I watched a bit of the video. He dosen't review the game, he slams it using his own opinions as 'facts'.

 

He's wrong at 6.00 mins where is says the game provides you with less options. The game provides you more gameplay options than DMC3 and DMC4, since I've played all the previous games I know that for a fact. It seems to me he dosen't know much about the previous DMC games, because he says this reboot wasn't needed. DMC4 itself was a reboot of the series designed to focus on Nero and Kyrie as the new main characters.

This game is a reboot because Capcom didn't want to go down that road. Hes wrong when he says the game should've been an alternate reality. It was made clear DmC takes place in an alternate reality, which means either he didn't check the information or he knew it and deliberately omitted it.

You have a lot of these types of people who turn out not to know much about the series. Hes just another one of those people. It dosen't invalidate his review. It means thats an amateur player; which is why you should look at critical reviews who review games fairly.

Edit: Scratch that. I know what completely invalidate his review. At 6.20 mins (about that) he claims DmC is considerably slower than previous games. He 'proves' this showing DMC3. If you look at the DMC3 footage he shows, theres something different about it... Thats because its DMC3 running on Turbo Mode. So he's accidentally compared DmC to DMC3 running on Turbo Mode. Thats an amateur mistake. He clearly dosen't know much about the series.

He used Turbo mode the entire time, not to prove that DmC was slow.  And he mentioned that some of the weapons were intentionally slow, which is a fact.
