The first 2 times I played the demo I thought it was terrible, but after giving it a few more chances things became a lot more interesting. The only thing is that I'm not very consistent. One time through I completely own on the clock tower, the next time through I die 2-3 times. I imagine some rage for this game just like I got from DMC4....
I fully agree with the terrible character design. Magic hair for clothing, that ridiculous walk, the stupid hairdo they put on her head, the guns on her shoes, it all adds up to garbage for me.
