Face your Demons... THEN SLICE THEM INTO BITE-SIZED BITS

Oh yeah... Devil May Cry 4 is sleek, sexy, and satisfying as hell. You start off as a Nero, who looks somewhat like Dante, only not nearly as badass. He has a nice demon arm thingy that grabs enemies and throw them like ragdolls. As I grow more comfortable with the controls, I fight outlandish bosses and walk through painfully linear levels. After being a bully to endless waves of hapless losers for about half the game, the controls switch to Dante, who has enough weapons and witty one-liners to kill a third world country. Howeve,r the transition is not seamless, and it takes used to playing as another character. The thing that really is not super special awesome, is that even though the characters are different, the levels and bosses are recycled. If fact some bosses you face THREE times... talk about lame. Oh yeah the camera ain't so hot either. Well after all my whining is said and done, it's still a fun game that's sweet, sweet eye candy.

Great game, hard but great...

I feel as though this game has gone back to the roots of the original Devil May Cry. We all remember the terrible sequel that made all true gamers almost cry for the simplicity of the game. Devil May Cry 4 has erased all those idealism and brought the series back from near death, and is a great game. Now don't get me wrong even the Normal mode is considerably tougher than other games of the same genre; and the harder modes are not for the faint of hard, but a great challenge for all gamers.

DMC4-Simply Amazing

Devil May Cry in short is Smokin' Sick! This game is easily addictive and as usual hilarious as well as amazing. Nero is a great new character that gives you a whole new look at the game. His styles differ from Dante's quite a bit, and has many different combos. His devil bringer is a great tool used for combat and getting through levels. With his arm, you can do some very stylish moves that will let you explore Nero to a very deep extent. Dante is as great as usual. He has like always his great swords, new weapons, and crazy guns. His different fighting styles give a great spice to the game and you can have quite a bit of fun by exploring the master moves of each style. If you love Devil May Cry, then this game is a must have! DMC is getting better and better. Who knows what the future holds for Dante and/or Nero of more DMC?

Devil May Cry 4 not so great

I liked this game for the first few levels then it started to ges extremely repetative. The graphics were amazing but the story and gameplay did not stand up to my expectations.

Devil May Cry 4 for the PS3

I wasn't impressed although it was nice to see Dante meet his match with Nero,Gameplay was excellent but became repetative Hack Slash Boss repeat.
