Pros: Great graphics; appealing gameplay; great characters (females are sexy!); nice ambiental sounds/music

Cons: Camera can lead to frustration when trying to access tight places (ie.: corners); loading a game will resume from the last checkpoint only; takes 15 good minutes to install the game

Great Game

Complex, fun, and rewarding combat system completes a great game with amazing visuals and a pretty good story. The cut-scenes are fantastic and the game has a very balanced feel throughout. This is a very well made game with a few minor flaws.

Well Worth It

I think the game is definitely fun and would recommend anyone who is familiar with the previous DMC games to purchase. The graphics are also impeccable and so vivid, but then again would you expect less than that on the PS3 Console!

Keep it up Capcom!!

This is one of the best games to come out this year so far and i hope the next sequal turns out to be really good.The great thing about this game is that its easy to pick up and play.Its perfect for someone new in the series.Devil May Cry 4 does get harder as the difficulty goes up.But so far easy pick up and play.Good action sequences and very awesome voice acting.Must buy for anyone new to the series and wants a good action/adventure game.

Very good graphics!

when I firts bought this product I thought of it as just another adventure game...but the truth was that it really did surprise me! the game contains amaizing graphics that only a PS3 game could and the levels are very good regarding the difficulty and the missions. Very good game that I recommend to all the players that love adventure games!!

A little disappointing

The graphics and actions in this game are awesome. However, the story is really lacking. It resembles the modern Castlvania games too much, but not in a good way. The writer has a difficult time getting me interested in the development of the story. In other words, I feel so indifferent towards the characters I wish not to help them but leave them be. Another thing I find very frustrating with this game is that the camera will turn you around when you enter a new location. For example, if you are heading North, once you are in the new area you are facing South or any other random direction. The confusion lies in this doesn't happen all the time. As a result, it makes you disoriented when you know clearly in your head where you are supposed to go. The map is also a bit misleading. At times, it shows a closed up area that I am able to go through. Sigh! I was totally captivated by the graphics when I played the demo. When I actually played the real game, I feel such disappointment.

DMC 4 Beat, But Player Feeling More Beaten Down By Repetitiveness

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.

IT'S GOOD!!!

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.

Once again Capcom does not disappoint.

Graphics: If you play in with your normal audio/vid cables it looks very good but once you plug it in on a HD monitor or TV with your HDMI it just looks amazing. The game does not lag at all and is rich with particle effects and great cutscenes.

Sound: Like every other DMC game the sound effects are very realistic and adecuate for what you see is happening in the game. Music is amazing (if you like heavy rock/electronic music) and gives you the same feeling of the other DMC games.

Gameplay: The gameplay is great, control responds quickly and you have a huge array of button combinations to unleash your cool combos. Like most of the DMC games, DMC4 requires practice and skill to play so the learning curve can be a little steep. Therefore, if you are a TRUE DMC fan you won't be disappointed.

When it comes to the content of the game I can say it's full of great story lines and great twists, also since its a Mature game there will be some sexy scenes involving voluptuous women but I see that as a good thing being a 27 year old male. Also I've heard comments that the secret mission are too hard. I consider the Secret missions challenging and you are someone who like to work for something and have a challenge then these are just amazing and fun. if you are someonw who just likes to play games to see the end of them the just play the game in easy/automatic and skip every single secret mission for they are not needed to beat the game.

Bottome line is, if you are a true DMC fan or if you are someone that likes challenges then you have tons of hours of challenging playtime! This game gets a 5 out of 5 from me, its simply the best.
