I wouldn't say it was one of the better beat 'em ups of the year, hell Dante's Inferno (see what I did there?) had more substance to it. But well, I loved the original and the third one (second one was just pointless) and I'd say this was worth renting or picking up on the cheap - just like Dante's Inferno is. Not worth the full amount they're asking for it though.
Compared to God of War 3 (which is probably the best beat 'em up ever) and Bayonetta it's leagues behind and even lags when compared to Castlevania. But I'm still glad to see the series revived (hell I remember when they said they was going to for the PS2) and it's a game worth playing and having a few hours of mindless fun with. And well if you want to kill LOTS of hours Castlevania would be a better choice as it's smegging huge (and cheap if you look around).
