  Summary: First, I'm new to the franchise and I got the game as a Valetine's Day gift from my wife (way2go love) and she did a great job picking this one out. This is a great game! The visuals are amazing and the gameplay is fairly simple to learn, especially if you choose to go the "Human" and "Automatic" route. Rapid Triangle use will just about get you through the game for a while but you'll soon find that button mashing is for the faint of heart.
  
  The game has combos galore and you can increase your character's combo abilities and weapon lethality via at the divinity statues by handing over red orbs and souls earned through game-play. The coolest part about this is that when you feel that you don't want to use a certain style or ability, you can sell them right back and use the orbs / souls for something else. just get back to a divinity statue and you're good to make changes.
  
  The whole fuel injected blade thing caught me completely off guard. I love it though, about as much as I love the up close and personal nature of Assassin's Creed. Seriously, someone should put this thing on a Dyno and see what its running. The fact that you can give it some oomph via the divinity statue and soe souls makes it all the more better.
  
  The visual asthetic is immense. Waterfalls, city scenes, ice settings, palaces and the like all show that the development team couldn't wait to get the hands on the PS3's powerful platform. I thouroghly enjoyed kicking a certain frog-demon's boss-butt causing his skin to wave when I hit him.
  
  The Bosses are nicely rendered on this one. A bit easy to beat but from what I hear about DMC3, that's quite alright. I couldn't give this game a 10 because I see the same bosses over and over and smashing them is just about as easy as the first time through.
  
  Midway through the game you'll switch to Dante's to whoop some demon butt but the demons are the same. The locations are the same too, but you'll notice some things in the background that you didn't before and that's cool, right?
  
  Personally, I think this game is a perfect go-between for Assassin's Creed and the return of Kratos in God of War 3 but the repetition of key parts in the game bring down the excitement after a while.
