I actually beat it for the 1st time just a couple days ago. It's a ton of fun and I'd definitely recommend it, especially these days, seeing as people tend to look for a bit of a challenge. I got okay at it but I mainly stayed on level 2. Got to level 3 once and never got to level DIE so I guess the difficulty balance was near perfect for me. Did all of the challenges and clocked about 15-16 hours.
Really, REALLY, silly character stuff, god-tier soundtrack, and a ridiculously satisfying combat system. While every character action game copied Devil May Cry, Mikami said, "fuck that, I'm Shinji Mikami" and proceeded to make the most punk-ass game of all time.
The only major problem I had with the game was the lack of manual targeting. Crowd control can be an issue when auto targeting keeps you from killing specific types of enemies. When you're trying to kill the dominatrix-y whip ladies but the auto targeting keeps fucking you over from doing that, it can be real frustrating.
Still, if you got your PS3 still plugged in, $10 on the PSN is a steal.
It would also be great for a Vinnyvania like feature.
