DMC 4 being played as a button masher? WOW!
@Faun: The initial part of the game is a bit weak. It picks up, once you explore more areas and unlock upgrades and new weapons. Back tracking in this game is a b*tch, but you'll have to deal with it. Keep collecting as many souls as you can. Also, take some time to familiarize yourself with the locations on the map, as you might need to re-visit them. The puzzles would be really challenging at times, so pay attention the surroundings and see how you can use that, and your abilities to your advantage. Last but not least, have fun.
