well where can i start?
this game is set to change the way we think about this type of game ( dont know what it is called) it was meant to be resident evil 4 but capcom had so many ideas they decided to make a completly new game about a demons son and his name is dante ( you).

the story is really set ages ago @ first or something like that when the demons tried to take over earth in a BIG battle with the humans. The humans had no chance and that was until Dantes farther helped the humans win and that is why we are here now.

the demons are planning another attack and this time Dante is the person on the side of the humans and you have to help the humans beat the demons and keep the world in peace.

Dante is half human half demon ( dont know how that works but hey its only a game) and he has to fight his way through some thing like 22 missions to save the world ( i think).

his moves are a whole load of different moves he has puches and kicks which make him look like the male version of Buffy the vampire Slayer and then we get to the really good stuff he has shot guns pistol and a whole load of different weapons which will be really cool to use and the aim of the game really is not just complete the mission but to colelct different coloured orbs
:yellow ords let you continue from where the nearest door was
:red i dont know what that is but any way

the end of each mission/level it gives you a rating of either cool / bravo / absolute / and stlish

game looks good getting it for christmas cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

seeing as the GAD review thing aint working @ the moment i will try and put it up later so here is my attempt.
( its a bit similar i edited bits of it)

well where can i start?
this game is set to change the way we think about playing action games because this game was at first meant to be resident evil 4 but capcom had so many ideas they decided to make a completly new game about a demons son who will once again try and save the world from the demon attack and his name is dante (you).

The story is really set ages ago at the beginning of time when the demons tried to take over earth in a BIG battle with the humans. The humans had no chance of winning and it looked like the demons were going to win and then live on earth but that was until Dantes father helped the humans win by going on their side instead of on the demons side and that is why we are here now.

The demons are planning another attack and this time it is up to you to follow in your fathers footsteps as you become the person on the side of the humans and you have to help the humans beat the demons and keep the world in peace.

Dante is half human half demon and that means that he has some wicked attack moves which will be ace to use.


he has a whole lot of artillery at his disposle because his bullets never run out ( i dont think) he can use his own fists and feet to fight the enemy with his punches and kicks make him look like the male version of Buffy the vampire Slayer which IS A GOOD THING.
Now we get to the really good stuff he has shotguns which look really good and fire realisticly then you get the ever so handy pistol which will never let you down and it isnt as strong as the shotgun and will proberbly take a few shots to kill the enemy but it is better then using your fists.

The game has 22 missions on there and it gives you a rating out of cool / bravo / absolute / and aswell as completing the missions the other aim of the game is to collect different coloured orbs which gives you extra points or health and continues depending on the colour of them. I have been told by various people ( Pro Evo , Longy) that the game also has combos in them which make it seem more interesting so you can slice people with swords and then finish them off by shooting them

The best thing about the game for me is the way you change from sword to the gun. This has got to be the most fluid thing about the game, and when you slash an enemy a few times and finish him of with a few rounds from the gun, its very satisfying.
