At first I welcomed the change of pace, but it wasn't long before that pace grew tiresome. He's got a talking bird very much the Jar Jar of May Cry who does ranged attacks, a silent panther who swats at things up close, and occasionally a massive golem that either crushes things or makes them explode.
It's a novel combat style that too easily dissolves into button mashing. You want to constantly attack with every demon at your disposal, which makes chaining abilities and combos too much of a headache to bother with. Unlike with the other characters, they don't even feel necessary - and I was playing on the harder of the two initial difficulty modes.
You do have to teleport in to polish off enemies with V's dainty cane-sword, but for the most part you just hang back while your crow jabbers lightning. It's too passive, and lacks the tension of a close-up brawl. He does get to turn his panther into a shadow puddle that he glides around on outside of fights, though, so I can't complain too much.
I also can't complain because it isn't long before you get a choice of who to play, and not long after that before Dante steps up to the plate. The original devil with permission to sob, and the man with the motorcycle swords. He is far and away the most fun.
That's largely due to his massive arsenal. You don't unlock everything at once, but by the end of the game Dante packs three different guns, four melee weapons and a hat that fires XP.
It would be a lot to deal with even if you weren't also thinking about four different stances, flowing between teleports and blocks and gun-tricks and snazzy sword attacks. Let's not even talk about the charge-up meter that temporarily turns him into a devil.
Or the separate meter that turns him into a devilier devil. It's a carnage carousel that's easy to fall off of, a deluge of options that can easily sweep you away. A silly number of upgrades means that past a certain point, whichever buttons you press will make something special happen - though you still need to pay attention.
I can't deny Dante's fiddliness, or that I haven't let out Nero-worthy howls as I've accidentally swapped to the wrong weapon. I want that, though. I want the space for mistakes to build towards mastery, for clumsy staccato slashes to turn into elegant dances of death. As with all games devilly and tearful, the punishment for failure isn't necessarily a game-over screen.
Demons will still die if all you do is bumble between basic attacks, but you won't get to feel nearly as smug. If you do actually die, a clever respawn system lets you sacrifice XP for another go, though the cost of using it more than twice in a row is wince-worthy.
Unless you've been playing well enough to earn diamonds, which are tucked away in missions and handed out if you earn an S-rank at the end.
Rather more dubiously, you can also buy them with real money, if you so choose. Maybe that merits further discussion, but for now just, like, obviously don't. I've already chewed through nearly all my word ration, and I've used most of them on talk about the combat being varied and fun.
This is fine. It doesn't hurt that it's also weird, full of surprises, stupendously daft and often laugh out-loud funny - though not always for the intended reasons. User Info: TheCowHead. SquigglyJustice posted To each his own TheCowHead posted User Info: Cybralisk.

The Yamato is the sword that is most commonly recognized as Vergil's weapon. Subsequent games would explain that the katana used to belong to Vergil and Dante's father, Sparda, and it was designed to separate a person's human and demon halves. In the first game, Yamato acts similarly to Alastor rather than how it is used later in the franchise.
Not only that, but Yamato has a slightly different design compared to what fans are more familiar with, such as a gold hilt. They are also designed to be rapid fire. The final sword Dante obtains in the game is Sparda. It is created after Dante fuses Force Edge with the perfect amulet, which results in a unique sword that bestows the protagonist with the power of Sparda.
It grants enough power to defeat the evil prince of darkness Mundus. Gameplay-wise, Sparda is very similar to the other swords in the game. However, it offers a couple of features not seen before. During attacks, it is able to shape-shift from a scythe to a spear. The only issue is that Dante can't use the Devil Trigger until the Mundus boss fight, which hinders Sparda's usefulness to a degree.
