This game is so good, i just finished without turning off my PS3. It is hard to understand the negative reviews for this game. Devil May Cry is action packed, especially when you learn all the combos. The special hidden area are the good test for your combos. The game flows so smooth, i just forgot dinner and lunch.

This the best graphics that you find in a cross-platform game. It is slightly lower than MGS4 and Uncharted. Fantastic eye catching art style. Both heroes of the DMC4, play very distinctively. If you have played previous DMC, playing as Nero is such a refreshing experience. The Devil Bringer is a nice mix. It is not just a weapon, it solves boss battles with a different strategy. This is not a hack and slash button masher. If you want to play the game that way... you can set combo to automatic. But please dont do it. Learn the combos it is so much more satisfying and fun to play.

Compared to Zelda and RPG puzzles, I love puzzles like these. It is very similar to Uncharted/God of Ware in that manner. You will never get lost or have to look for online guides. The narration is so perfectly done with a frenetic pace, time will just fly by.

There are few things very old school like fixed camera, have to back track the same area and fight the same monsters. But you will be happy to do so as you need the extra souls for items purchase. One of the few game developers who have mastered the art of pacing.. the stage never over stays its welcome period. When ever you leave the area.. you always have a feeling you might have missed some thing. Finding all the hidden souls is a fun challenge by itself for the Mario star collectors.

Especially with the lower price tag.

Improved but not much!

I am a huge fan of DMC series, this chapter showed a improvement in graphics, animation, difficulty (less than DMC3 that was too hard, this one is really fun to play even in the most difficult level) and sound quality, but unfortunatelly did not improve much on game play, combos are really fun with grat animations but lacks on defence, strategy zero, killing enemies depends on how quick you push buttons, even the counter move is useless and difficult to timing, things that put ninja gaiden sigma and heavenly sword on top of my list of action games for PS3.

This game is way better than the other games in every way. If you were a fan of the other games then you will definately love this game.
The graphics are better and the controls( though they'vechanged a little bit) are easy to get used to.

The biggest downfall the game has is that you do not start out playing as Dante, but some new kid named Nero. However, once you start playing as Nero you'll find out just how cool he is too. In some of the gaming mags I've read the reviewers liked playing Nero more than Dante. I personally like playing Dante more, but hey, Nero is still very cool.

The only other thing left to say about the game is that it's a true DMC game. The story and attitude of the characters are all there. The beautiful women and strange demons are in the game too. If you own a PS3 then buy this game. If you are getting a PS3 then get this game. If you own a XBox 360, then this is the only good game you can play!!!!

Fun game, a little toooo graphic

It's a really great game. the graphics are really realistic, a little too realistic on the females part. They made the females really skanky. You don't get to play as dante much, but you do get to play as nero. Obviously because the game is more about nero than dante and i thought it was supposed to be the other way around. It doesn't seem anything like the anime and the secret missions can get frustrating at times. Overall it's a good game to rent, but I wouldn't buy it only because they went to far with the females. It's NOT something for someone under the age of 18 that's for sure and people thought asassins creed was too much.

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.

More of the same

I just finished DMC4 and can't say I loved it. The graphics are great, but that is tarnished with so many screens being displayed with a fixed camera. The controls are solid and intuitive with all of the various combos being simple to pull off. Also, the difficulty settings are great. You can go masochisitc like DMC2 or you can make it a one button masher and play all the way through.

The main issues with DMC4 are story and reptitiveness. You've played these games and they have changed very little, regardless of the character you are controlling. When I booted up DMC on PS2 for the first time, I was blown away. The second stage after the tutorial starts out and there is immediate sense of Deja Vu, not awe and excitement. I also have a problem with the story. Unlike Drakes Fortune or Heavenly Sword, the story didn't compel me to finish, and since the game played identical to previous installments in the series, I only finished just to justify the money I spent on it. Not a good reason to play through a game.

DMC4 has some positives, just not enough to make it worth more than a rental.

It's just not good.

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.

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.
