Played through about half of this on normal. Then needing to redo entire missions when i died got too annoying.
Apparently easy mode is an option only if youre bad during the first 3 missions.
Was going to just drop the game, but something about it made me want to finish. So i started a new game on easy.
Easy mode kind of sucks though. You can't really control dante during combat, they replace most of the enemies with marionettes, and everytime you interact with something dante fires his gun and goes into a fighting stance for a second. Just really annoyed me lol
The game also kind of lacks the personality that was present in the opening cutscene.
Really just not a very interesing game.
I liked it anyway though. Filled my dark soul with light

Worth finishing once if you like DMC or Resident Evil and then probably never playing again, especially since you probably got it when just trying to play DMC 3. Its fun to contrast this Dante with what he ended up being post DMC 3.
It's an important game, but it's in a genre obsolescence limbo that makes it hard to seriously recommend (just not as hard as DMC2). I think for those curious about experiencing the franchise in its entirety, it's worth starting here, as it can be said to be a quite solid game for its time, and then progressing in release order to avoid disappointment with crude gameplay and level design that weren't as refined yet.
now this game has not aged the best, but it has SOUL! so its alright in my book.
I'm sorry...it's bad...
