    fcking casuals complaining about the difficulty making this even easier than before. Playing as Vergil is the only good thing from Special Edition.

    The extras are nice, but the most important feature is the tweaked difficulty level. No more tears while playing! [Oct 2006]

    The game's a little easier this time, but playing through with Vergil is a completely different experience.
