Perhaps I am an uncultured slob, but I thought the controls were needlessly complex. Like the launcher attack you had to hold a shoulder button, hold the stick away from the enemy (which depending on camera angle could be difficult to figure out which direction that is), AND then press and hold a face button. Other "DMC clone" games of the era just had the same move on a single press-and-hold of a face button, while DMC used two face buttons for identical gunfire. Why couldn't we just get one gun button and one launcher button?

I've been told before that the duplicate gun buttons were needed so you could press both to mash the pistols faster than you could on a single button, to which I say why not make a single press of the gun button give you two shots, one with each pistol?
