For one things, I really could care less if Dante doesn't have cool lines anymore, that isn't what made DMC 1 a good game anyway. And if you ask me, the level lengths in DMC 1 are actually way too short. They could use more depth. Sure, the game has 22 levels or so, but half of them literally took less than 5 minutes to beat!

I'll have to see if the hoopla is right or not when I start playing, which should be pretty soon actually.
