Devil May Cry 4 October 21, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think the only downfall of this game in my opinion, is that like the first it is capable of being beat in five or six hours much like the first one in the series. However, I liked this game very much the game is fairly challenging; totally worth the time for anyone who is a fan of the series. They finally took and integrated the various stuff from some of the previous games
 Excellent Action Game, October 21, 2008
This game is cool and delivers the action to your heart, I bought the ps3 for this game,
Excellent Graphics,
Good Story ( DMC3 better)
Some of the Demons show some kind of being smart and tries to kill in many ways
Addition of Nero is good, while keeping Dante, I prefer if Dante was given more missions to play them,
A must buy for any action adventure gamer
Not quite DMC3 but miles above DMC2 October 14, 2008
Devil May Cry makes its appearance on the next gen consoles with a style and gameplay that many fans of the series will be familiar with - you know the adage, if it ain't broke why fix it? For those unfamiliar with the series, Capcom introduced the series in 2005 on the PS2 with a game that many consider to be the best in the series. The series then fell off the map with a couple of hastily produced sequels and now we're given the fourth installment. So, does Devil May Cry live up to its reputation?
Story:
Nero takes the lead and his motivation for the acts that follow is his love Kyrie. The adventure begins in the gothic style town of Fortuna, where our new protagonist is on his way to hear his love sing at the local church. However, prior to reaching his destination, he is ambushed by demons and we quickly learn that our hero is anything but ordinary as he decimates them as only a devil hunter can. Upon reaching the church, we meet Sparda, the leader of the Order of the Sword, who begins to address the congregation when Dante crashes the party and fires a bullet into his head at point blank range. So begins the beautiful cut scenes that are speckled throughout the game.
Gameplay:
As I stated earlier in my review, Devil May Cry plays similar to the previous games in the series - you hack-n-slash your way to acquiring the best score and in the quickest amount of time while collecting red orbs to upgrade your abilities. For those who played Devil May Cry 3, Nero is markedly different than Dante. The biggest being Nero's Devil Bringer.....this arm is context sensitive and will aid in crushing minor enemies -to- ripping the throat out of major demons. Of course, the damage this arm inflicts can be increased with the system aptly named Exceed. By charging it up the damage that it unleashes is truly brutal. Nero is a welcomed addition to the series, but some may criticize the fact that Dante is only available for limited use....only seven missions with one being a tutorial.
Graphics and sound:
The graphics, like most next gen games, are incredible...with only minor shortcomings....mostly the shadow engine - the way the game adds shadows does distract from what otherwise is a beautifully rendered game. The sound does a superb job conveying the emotions of the scenes by delivering unique scores that fit the scenario well.
Final thoughts:
Devil May Cry 4 is a great addition to the series and is one of the better games in the respective genre. The gameplay is remarkable (not quite 3 but far above 2) that will introduce new gamers to the series and reward the veterans of the series that had to suffer through part 2. This is an addictive game with high replay value that will keep the gamer occupied for weeks.
 Not very special October 4, 2008
I am a fan of the first and third Devil May Cry so I was looking forward to the this one especially after seeing gameplay and video trailers. After playing it though, I am kind of disappointed.
You start the game playing as Nero, a character with a demon hand, chasing the infamous Dante, son of Sparda and main character of the first three Devil May Cry games, for about 13 stages and the rest you play as Dante. There are about 20 stages total.
Well the stages where you play as Nero and Dante are the same stages. Basically, you travel up the map as Nero and come down the map as Dante. The bosses you played as Nero are the same bosses you play as Dante. It feels like you only have half a video game. Also, when playing as Dante the game feels way easier then playing as Nero. The last two stages you play through the same bosses a third time as Nero. The gameplay and graphics are decent and the story is ok, but I have no desire to replay this because of the repetitiveness.
Good game -- for 40 bucks September 24, 2008
graphics: 9/10, 720p grr. But nonethless very impressive graphics. Some camera angles are very annoying.
sound: 8/10, Not bad, music kinda sucks though. Seems like they play the same metal song during each combat scene. I had to turn it off.
gameplay: First DMC game I ever played and i picked it up very fast. shouldnt be too tough for newcomers.
PROS: lots of action, good story, good graphics
CONS: JUMPING PUZZLES, are you kidding me, what is this 1988 on a NES? I don't mind a challenge but some of the jumping puzzles are just terrible. The worst part is the camera can get in the way. Not too sure on replay value either. You could easily get through the content in 20 some hours.
Summary: Not as good as Assassin's Creed. Not worth 60 bucks. But definately worth 40.
