User Rating: 9 | Devil May Cry 4 PS3
This game's a pretty good PS3 game to get whether you're a newcomer to the DMC series or a fan of it. The story can seem confusing to a newcomer, but thanks to the 20-minute save file installation screen, it will show an entire recap as to what's been going on in the series. Anyway, this is the first PS3 game I've played, and it's impressive. The graphics are really beautiful, as are the cutscenes, which look really realistic. At times, it looks like you're watching an anime movie, not that I'm complaining; that's a good thing! The game's combat can be a bit repetitive, but very exciting and engaging, it'll suck you right into the game's action! The platforming elements are decent, though slightly frustrating at times when trying to get from one area to the other with the Devil Arm, trying to stretch it onto the blue spheres or whatever they're called to "swing" from one blue sphere to the next. The music is okay, some of it's beautiful while the rest is just tolerable. The game's difficulty is neither too easy or too hard; it's just right, though it can be a little difficult sometimes. The story is interesting, and Nero is a cool new playable character, a great new addition to the DMC series. The worst thing about the game is probably the camera. It's mostly movable, but it's hard to examine an area or environment when the camera is in a fixed position. I never tried to compete with online rankings, but it's probably a nice addition, and it gives reason to completing missions with highest ranks possible. Overall, this game makes great use of the PS3's advanced technology, and it's great for any DMC fan or even a casual gamer who may be interested in trying it. It's similar to previous games in the series, but still very enjoyable.
