I didn't know what to expect coming off of DmC 2. I was let down with how stagnant the gameplay was and was really hoping this game would be an improvement. In every way imaginable, it was. It still holds up surprisingly well gameplay wise although a remake with the DmC 5 graphics wouldn't hurt at all. I love the combat in this game, you have so much variety in what you can do for combos. Dante is just such a wild character and everything that takes place is just a wild ride that is an amazing time.
