I will be in the minority and say that most if not all action games would be more fun, especially on higher difficulties, if you had your full movelist unlocked.
NOTE I DID NOT SAY FULL METERS/HP, just moves. Having Run/Double jumped locked behind a store, and different weapons in the case of DMC 3, was retarded. In fact a lot of the RPG elements in 3 were dropped, with stores being the carry over.
NGB/S accounts and is balanced around shops and essence, DMC 1 on Normal does but it also expects NG+ for harder modes. Locking WEAPONS is fine imo, locking NINPO or skill equivalences are fine.
