This game has greatly improved from its previous installments. But there is one thing that continues to annoy me, that is the repetitive game play. The enemies do change quite a bit but you run into similar enemies way more often than you should in my opinion. But the graphics are great all the way around. The new styles and weapons are very fun in every way. Also the story is interesting more so than any of the previous DMC games. I would recommend this game for anyone who wants to enjoy Devil May Cry one last time at its peak. This game is worth a look.

Great hack and slash game

Edit: Well, I finished the game on easy, and this has become one of my favorite games. Dante adds a lot of replay value as he has 4 diff fighting styles and 3-4 diff swords. I can't wait to replay this on a higher difficulty and try different combos out. The boss battles are the funnest part of the game. Regarding the backtracking you experience with Dante, it's not that bad as it goes pretty quickly, but it would've been nice to see new settings.

This is my first DMC game and I'm halfway through it. I saw the commercial for this a couple months ago and thought it was more of the same old same old so I passed it up. Well, I wound up picking up a used copy now that they've come down in price and am I ever glad I did. I've finished the original Ninja Gaiden on Xbox and really enjoyed that, but never replayed it because the environments were too eclectic for me--nothing was cohesive or made sense. The environments in this game are really nice as you fight in castles, forest, snow...some parts even seem ethereal. But what gives this game replay value is the combo system. It mainly revolves around hitting your opponent in the air, further flailing away at him before pulverizing him into the ground. It's a familiar formula but what's innovative in this game, is that you have a gun that helps keep you aloft, and a devil hand that just punishes your enemies. The devil hand is really innovative as you can pull enemies towards you or pull yourself to them, and it unleashes wicked attacks on different enemies and bosses, which never get old.

The graphics are definitely HD, but not photo-realistic. It's what you would expect from a Capcom game as are the menu interfaces. Some may find the puzzles a little challenging but they are not too too difficult (I'm still playing on easy). I still haven't played the 2nd character yet so that should add more variety in terms of gameplay, but I'm already impressed and look forward to playing the game, which is what it's all about. So if you like games like Ninja Gaiden and God of War, you should like this.

notes: There are a lot of cutscenes which you can bypass, but they are really well done. The camera sucks at times but aren't a dealbreaker. Skills and abilities need to be bought and it seems you'll never accumulate enough for everything. You can also rev your sword like a motorcycle (aside: I have an '07 R1, which is the most reliable/best looking bike ever, imho) making it glow red hot and when attacking will emit flames. You can only save after you finish a level, but when you die fighting a boss, you continue right there; I was initially concerned about having to replay the entire level, but that's not the case. Definitely a buy if you can get it for around $20.

I've been a devil may cry fan since the beginning and have played them all and this is by far the best in the series... the best cutscenes to date and the new character Nero gives Dante a run for his money... gameplay was tight and the controlls easy to learn... of course the camera angles are still off but that's forgivable... give it a try... you won't regret it... DMC 4 Rocks harder than the music that's in it... \m/!

Awsome!

This game is crazy addictive and a ton of fun to play. Nice long story as well. Only complaint is that you see the same settings a little too much.

Almost perfect....

Pro
- Intense and diverse Gameplay all sorts of crazy combos where you are fighting mid air or throwing a boss 3 times your size. Always getting new powers/upgrades. Bosses are amazing in this game and there are a lot of them. This game is very addictive, I couldn't stop playing.
- Perfect graphics. Some of the best I have seen
- Very Cinematic. I enjoy the story aspect of this game and cut-scenes are just another way this game shows off the graphics. Don't listen to those that complain about too many cut scenes. If you don't want to watch the cut scenes you can skip as many of them as you want. So were is the problem here?
- Highly customizable. Normal or Hard difficulties, automatic combos on or off, change controller config., choose upgrades or automatic upgrade.
- High re-playability. One great part about this game is that you can revisit all missions you have already completed. Each level you get a ranking based on how long the level took, style (combos), how many orbs collected. Go back and replay to increase rating to unlock new items and xbox achievements.
- Part of the game you play as a different character with different powers making it a nice change of pace.

Cons
- Too short. Can beat the game in about 6-8 hours. (this doesn't include time spent during cut-scenes or replaying levels for unlocks.)
- Second half of the game was a bit repetitive. You backtrack through certain regions and re-fight certain bosses, but as a different character with different objectives.
- Camera angles are very good at times. However, this is never the case when it really matters like boss fights, etc. Typically they also allow you to change camera angle too. Not a big issue just a little annoying at times.
- Menus and upgrade system can be a little complex and take some getting used to.
- Progress can only saved after each mission. (so basically every 30mins)

Verdict
The Pros are so amazing in this game that you will find the Cons not bothering you much. One of the best 1 player games I have played. It is very addictive as well, you will want to keep playing until you beat it all the way through.

Bad All Over

The graphics are great and the cutscenes are amazing to watch even if the dialog isn't very good. The gameplay is pretty dull and repetitive and those hidden levels are pretty tough to complete. The map needs serious work as its pretty easy to get disorientated. There is no replay value after beating it on Hard. No epic boss fights, either.
