Finished this yesterday.
Lots of fairly interesting discussion in this thread, I guess. I think dataDave's criticism of the core gameplay mechanics are fair, but giving it a 1 or 2 out of 10 is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. The bosses are simplistic in the same way a Zelda game would be and with very little effort I was scoring SSS on most stages, though I was playing on Normal. Still, given what people said about the combat mechanic changes I certainly thought it was a better game than I had anticipated. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I think this is a better game than the first Devil May Cry.
Devil May Cry 4 is a game I'm going to have to revisit after I put some serious time into Bayonetta 2 I think. To me though, I wouldn't really even compare DmC to those games based on the core gameplay alone. I think Ninja Theory have made a great game overall, but perhaps not a great example of the intended genre. Still, I enjoyed the story presented to me and had a brief fling with the game in the run up to Bayonetta 2.
Going to say this was around a 7 for me.
