Yeah I'm glad they didn't over do it, and ruin the franchise. I only played the demo of DW 9 so haven't had the full experience. I did notice that they didn't seem to put the same effort into the cutscenes as they did in the earlier games.

But, the combat was really good as always.

I spent the day messing around with the ps2, but sadly it's not working. I do have a slim one, but haven't found the power supply yet. It's torture, because I really want to get on and play some DW 4, and try out 5 for the first time.
