The negative reviews don't even mention Dante's new look, but all criticise the game for having a lack of challenge, shallow and clunky combat, immature (and, in one part, extremely distasteful and pathetic) story, an inconsistent frame rate, and making the grading system based on damage instead of attack variety.
I've been watching youtube videos of the game, and it seems all of my fears about what arrogant and rank amateur developer Ninja Theory would do with the Devil May Cry name have come to pass. The veteran DMC players seem to not be impressed at all but give very specific reasons rather than the usual "hurgh it's different" self-entitled rage. I wonder if this may well be another case of "professional" reviews being unduly influenced by the publisher, particularly after Resident Evil 6 was destroyed by paid review outlets last year.
