I grabbed the demo off of my JP X360 account. This game really is like DMC, only sluttier, more ridiculous, and with even more shit going on. The game seems solid enough; I'll give it a go, it's more of a question of when (day 1 or wait a while and scoop at a cheaper price point).

I actually had trouble keeping track of the action when I first stated playing it, but it just seems like more of a learning curve (and the natural effect of a ton of shit happening at once). That and the demo struck me as being easy for a game in the mold of DMC and Ninja Gaiden, but maybe that's just the demo.

Apparently, the difficulty modes higher than Normal are supposed to offer some bone-crushing, teeth-gritting challenge to the game.

Or something. Kamiya just said it would be "Crazy hard". I'm willing to believe him on that.

Tried both PS3 and 360 demos. I really want to like the game, but playing it makes my head hurt. I'm trying to follow along, and there is so much going on in the game, that I start to feel dizzy after a short while.

This has never happened to me before and I really don't like the feeling.

Funny, I didn't think there was enough going on in the demo. I found it far too easy to control and herd the enemies to keep them from hitting me pretty much at all.

I was counting on this game to be at least as tough as DMC1. If I have to beat the game on Normal to unlock what I'm expecting... augh

Play-Asia has the Asian version of this for $49.90 plus the normal ~$4 shipping, so those of us with J360s or who want it on PS3 can have it way earlier and cheaper.

Totally, I was eyeing five or six J360 games and was considering taking the plunge. I have a PS3 and could get that version, but after playing both demos, I have my doubts.

Guys really, this is one of those games where you should really really avoid the PS3 version.

I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to grab this on Thursday or not. I'm thinking I might.

This. Or at least wait until the NA release to see if the extra time results in something closer to the 360 version.
