    Superior to "Devil May Cry 2" and should be able to tide Devil May Cry fans over till the next sequel in the franchise.

    Van Helsing may be a simple, all-out action game, but then the film was a simple action flick. Van Helsing looks good, sounds good, and plays well. It just needs that extra bit of depth to push the score that little bit higher.

    But Van Helsing's missions are all means to an end, which is to rehash the film's plot in a videogame.

    Not God of War or Devil May Cry, but still a good, solid, fun experience. Had a hard time adjusting to the fixed camera. Should have been able to move/control it. :-( Appreciate that it didn't take me 20-30 hours like all my other action/platformers do.(I don't have the time) And like Hulk, the game is way more enjoyable than the movie.… Expand
