So...yes, this game falls flat in many regards. It feels more like any other mediocre PS2 action game in DMC clothing, rather than feeling like an actual DMC game - it has none of the over-the-top antics, action, or satisfying mechanics and flow that make the rest of the series stand out. It also has the infamously problematic and questionable infested helicopter and tanks...
Despite this, my possibly-unpopular take is that I'd sooner give DMC2 the time of day than DmC. Not for the action/mechanics, but just because I disliked DmC's "rebooted" plot/setting/dialogue THAT much.
