Product Description
Long ago the Dark Knight Sparda rebelled against the dark emperor and waged a one-man war to save humanity. Thousands of years later, a religious organization worships this renowned savior and has taken it upon themselves to rid the world of all evil. Residing in Fortuna, this organization is known as the "Order of the Sword," and is made up of an elite group of "Holy Knights." One day, a young knight named Nero witnesses Sparda's legendary son Dante slaughter his fellow warriors. Has the renowned devil hunter turned his back on mankind? What does thie encounter mean for these two individuals? In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero's "Devil Bringer, a new feature that has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero's right arm. With the PlayStation 3 system's advanced graphical capabilities, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Amazing visual effects and dynamic action coupled with a complex storyline, provides the very cool, slick and stylish attitude that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver. New active style change system for Dante allows him to switch styles and weapons on the fly, producing crazy combo possibilities ESRB Rated M for Mature

 It's just not good. July 7, 2008
I don't get it. This game is just bad. A friend gave me his copy after he beat it. He loved the game. Maybe it's because I just finished Metal Gear, GTA4, Uncharted, Mario Galaxy, Bioshock & Ratchet but I can't get into this at all. Despite the okay graphics, it just feels dated. It's boring, generic and repetitive, with dull storytelling. The menus and presentation are atrocious. Maybe I'm missing something, a lot of people liked Assassin's Creed too, and well that was terrible. There are so many better games you could be playing than this, if you must, rent it, but don't spend money on this.
 dante, nero & big bosses July 6, 2008
i must first say that ive played all the devil may cry game. this game is just the game i was waiting for. nero is a new character to devil may cry, but he fits in perfectly. his move is just nice to used once u know when and how to used them. dante is my favourite character he is fast, powerful & his weapon & fighting styles are what makes him such an aggressive character. the bosses are big, but nuttin that cant be defeated. all in all great, sound, polished graphics, nice levels, a fair enough story with lot of time to power-up ur charcater & a decent replay value.
IT'S GOOD!!! June 26, 2008
THIS GAME WAS GOOD. I LIKE IT. THE CGI WAS GOOD. I ENJOYED PLAY THIS GAME. ALSO THIS GAME WAS FUN.
A button masher's dream come true! June 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Okay, so we rented this game, and I was a bit leery. I haven't played any of the previous DMC's so I don't know the back story or how much fun they were... but this game was a trip! I am a button masher, I admit it, if things are coming at me with swords, or guns or whatever, my instinct says "Mash all of the buttons and hope something happens!" the good thing about this game is that it works! I was flying all over the place an destroying the bad guys.
So why not a 5 star game? Well the story was a bit convoluted, and the critters I was demolishing with my sword and demon arm were fairly repetitive... but it was a blast. The graphics were very good. The music was heavy metal-ish which didn't bother me because it felt like it went with the game.
Is this a must buy? Not really, but I would at least rent it for a fun time.
Note to parents - There is some language in here I would cringe if my 6 year old heard... and there are some cut scenes that appear to have a lot of sexual innuendo (one actually looked like a lesbian scene) and boobies do bounce on the overly large breasted women in this game. You have been warned.
 DMC 4 Beat, But Player Feeling More Beaten Down By Repetitiveness June 9, 2008
I must admit it has taken me awhile to complete DMC4 (mainly due to GTAIV coming out and me being held hostage by it), but I finally completed it last night. After the largest (4GB, 30 minutes) install I had witnessed, I easily got into the action and controls of the game through its Stage 1 tutorial-style level. I wasn't blown away with the graphics at first (as the other DMC's were all great looking on the PS2), but once outside of the church, it was breathtaking. Even the textures in the real-time cutscenes were rendered so wonderfully (pay attention to the detail in the clothing).
The game features 20 stages, with a majority played as Nero and some played as Dante. (I don't believe this is a spoiler as anyone reading articles up to the release would know that.) The stages are varied from castle interiors, to snowscapes, to jungles, etc. Each of these locales pushes the PS3's graphics and audio.
Nero's controls are simpler than Dante's but just as easy and/or hard, depending on timing, and unique in some regards. His devil empowered hand and its attacks are perhaps the most unique, as he can grab enemies close or from afar and throw them to the ground. (I found it a quick and easy way to dispose of many enemies. Very useful with fighting some boss characters as well.) For the most part though, Nero and Dante have many similar moves, except for Dante's four styles of fighting, which greatly double or triple his move set. (Ironically, I still found myself using only one of his styles--Swordmaster.)
The variety of enemies is very good and many are introduced as if they are mini-bosses who are very tough until you learn their attacks, how to avoid them, and their weak spots. (There is one made of electricity which is very difficult at first.)
The boss characters are all very unique and different and some require multiple attempts to defeat, though if it takes more than 2-3 times, I'd be surprised. However, herein lies the only problem with DMC4--the boss characters and the last 40% of the game.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS (though I doubt it).
Once you start playing as Dante, Stage 11 or 12, I believe, the repetition begins. You literally play the game backwards from where you left off with Nero, encountering all of the same levels and bosses. (New cutscenes are the saving grace.) Ironically enough, some boss battles were more difficult with Dante than with Nero. I felt the lack of creativity and the repetition of having to fight the same bosses (and the bosses don't even attack differently) a second time as Dante was very weak. (Not to mention, when you play as Nero again in the last few stages, Nero has to fight ALL of the bosses AGAIN--come on, this isn't the 80's or 90's with "fight the same boss charactes over and over." It may not seem like a substantial gripe, but when you pay $59 for a game, you want 20 stages of original material, not 12-14 stages of original, before you have to go back through all of it. (Going back through is what repeated playthroughs and difficulty levels are for.)
All in all, DMC4 is a great addition to the series and looks beautiful on the PS3 (and being the first cross-platform game I have played where PS3 owners didn't have to settle for a subpar version with framerate issues).
This is definately a game to add to your collection, IF you don't mind a game where they kind of took the easy way out for creating about 30% of the stages by using serious repetition.
