DMC. What a horrible-ass series. Worst story-representation ever. Never got into the games. Tried #1 & #3 ><

Buy SotC. It's not a game, it's an experience /__\ God of War is damn fine. But SotC is gaming *perfection*. Pure. And. Simple.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

SotC seems to use the same graphical appearance/engine that was used in Ico. Up close it isn't gorgeous and there is slow-down at some points, I'm afraid. The main thing? Zoomed out landscapes, and details on the colossi are gorgeous. Plus, I love how edged-off the controls were. It wasn't picky on how you would snag onto the colossus if you were falling down. It wouldn't be like "NU UH. BAD ANGLE NO GRAB." When playing it, avoid using a FAQ =p It's very awesome to figure out how to injure them so you can get to their weak points. Wish I didn't remember how to hurt them all... /_\

Vampiro --
Sorry for my opinion, but DMC had a horrible way of conveying story if there even *was* one. Dante is such a trite and overused character-type. Plus it gets way too mindless on hack & slash. God of War & Ninja Gaiden are hard and creative enough to keep you on your toes. And my praise toward SotC is for originality. Something that has been absent from the gaming industry for years upon years. When I first played DMC, I thought "hey, this is almost exactly like Onimusha." And it held my interest for about as long (which wasn't terribly).

How ya doing, buddy?

I think it's good for the same reasoning as Ninja Gaiden (XBOX). The main character is so maneuverable, even amid full combos you can pull off an angled strike to pop and enemy trying to whittle his way in.

The story is quite good, the combat builds onto itself with nice strikes & upgrades, the atmosphere & music is superb, and the graphics are very impressive for PS2, amid other reasons. Polished doesn't begin to describe it

I plan on buying it relatively soon.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
