Review Summary

Devil May Cry 4 is a challenging game, though not extremely challenging. The game features a lot of gameplay choices so you are able to choose according to your preferences. You can initially choose one of two difficulties, then go on to more difficult levels. You can even choose whether you want the game to perform some combos for you automatically.

Devil May Cry 4 is a challenging game, though not extremely challenging. The game features a lot of gameplay choices so you are able to choose according to your preferences. You can initially choose one of two difficulties, then go on to more difficult levels. You can even choose whether you want the game to perform some combos for you automatically. You will play as Dante, with a good selection of weapons and fighting styles but for the most part of the game you’ll play as Nero, the newcomer, who also has a variety of exciting and stylish moves. However the game lacks some surprises. In Devil May Cry 4 every shocking and bloody scene is followed by an equally funny one that blends with the story. Some reviewers find the game quite good with some quite extraordinary action sequences made easy by precise controls. They even like Nero’s new character with its new moves and the glossy animations. The visuals are stunning and the game continuously amazes you, the characters are well designed and fun to fight. However some reviewers find that there are too many repetitions of the fights and the environments and after some time the game is no longer fun.

    Those drawn to DMC4 only for the flash combat and preposterous cut scenes may never notice, finishing the game in perhaps ten hours, unlocking a few more bits and bobs on a higher difficulty and trading it in for something else, satisfied that they got their money's worth. That doesn't change the fact that underneath the fireworks and glitter that the generation-jump brings DMC4 is a far less complete video game than its predecessors, and being new to the series will...

    If not for its insane old school difficulty nor utterly stale second title, Dante from Devil May Cry could easily be held in the same esteem as Pirates, Ninjas and Transformers. Built in the ideal model for a cheesy gaming badass, his series has never really reached the upper echelons of gaming acclaim. Read more

    DMC4 is a technically impressive game wih a huge flaw. Its gameplay. The game looks great, has some great monster dsigns, responsive controls. The problem is the game play seems to have stood still while other better games have come out like GoW. When there's a DMC4, it'll need a gameplay upgrade or it may get left behind. Read more
