Did it again! You were absolutely right, just jump on them properly, I was trying to just walk on them :(

I quite like the gunplay style, but the only decent part of that is the shotgun's fireworks move, other than that, every move is just a flashier looking version of a move that does the job already. Trickster is just rubbish, dodging is easy enough and you never need to wall hike once you get air hike, so it quickly becomes redundant.

Swordplay seems the best as it actually has things you can't do without it.

Other problem: Only being able to have two of each weapon at once. I'm guessing there's alot of weapons then, as this wasn't an issue in the first game, as there was only 3(?) guns (pistols, shotgun and the demon power gun) and 3(?) devil arms (alastor, ifrit gauntlets and the basic sword). The only thing that worries me about this is the different "switches" that respond to certain weapons but not others, like the Goddess Trial bit, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to set off the levers, I was able to, but only because 2/3 weapons I could choose would work, but it's concerned me for later. I guess it's basically: swords do one sort, everything else does other stuff?

I did quite like the way the intro tricked you into thinking Dante was totally awesome and indestructable only to have him die over and over again in 3 levels time.
