This is gonna be a weird question, but is it more like God of War or Devil May Cry. God of War had epic boss battles, but that was about it. So despite the great, polished gameplay, taking on 2 or 3 guys at a time was boring, especially since they were many times like mini-bosses. Devil May Cry, on the other hand, throws 10 guys at you at once, and then more that spawn as you kill them. They may go down faster, but it makes for a lot faster and more intense gameplay.

So yeah, I'm a big DMC fan, but God of War was somewhat disappointing for me. How does this one play? Is it slaughtering hordes of minions as flashy as possible, or is the entire focus on combo-ing just a couple big baddies per stage/area/room?

there is no mini-bosses in this game far as i know and the boss battles are pretty nice.

Now far as baddies go at time there can be a few here in there but for the most part you get hit with at least 4 or 5 at a time sometimes more.

So i guess you can say it leans more toward DMC in away b/c you get alot more baddies to down. but has the add of GOW where you can do your "finisher or instant kill" move after you work on them for a bit.

There are puzzles in the game and among like "side quests" you have to do were you can fight lots of baddies.

You get souls in here for your $$, HP, and Warth (magic) also have rage. Kickass weapons.. So more DMC in many ways but with GOW in some parts

Cut scenes are nice i have to say and graphics overall are good.
