The mood of the game is spoilt by time-wasting & difficult puzzles and platforming jumps & swings. The game never lets you flow along with exciting slaughtering of demons 'coz you end up dying and repeating meaninglessly long sequences of puzzle-solving & platform jumping & swing in order to proceed. Its so frustrating as the these annoyances are tough & it requires high precision button-pressing to get it right.
Hell has never been more pleasing to the eyes.
And the fighting action is almost as fun as NG2.
Too bad its all spoilt by the stupid overkill of puzzles & platforming. It just breaks your rhythm!
Hope Dante 2 will focus on the action & leave out all the irritating puzzles & platforming to other genre of games.
