DMC 4 offers exciting and thrilling gameplay with an in depth storyline.
Devil May Cry 4 is an action RPG with a ton of button smashing. The player plays as Nero through most of the game. As the game advance the player can get more exciting combo moves to quickly finish off enemies. Nero has a demonic arm call Devil Bringer that could pull toward an enemy or bring the enemy to him.

Those who do not have a gamepad for their PC, the keyboard control is very simple and easy to use. The player will still be able to enjoy Devil May Cry 4 by using the keyboard only.
Graphics are generally average compared todays games. While starting up the game, the player with Vista can pick chose Directx 9 or Directx 10. Those who have WIndows XP could only run Directx 9 wont miss out any of the eye candy. Graphics running in Directx 9 and Directx 10 is the same with no noticeable difference.
The game does have an enriching storyline plot. There is a large amount of cut scenes before starting a mission or after finishing off a boss to put more depth into the story. The voice acting kills the entertainment of these long cut scenes. Way way too many unnecessary one line punches. The game is a mature rated game and it should be expected the game should have a mature level voice acting. Voice acting during fighting enemies get very stale very fast as there is only two things Nero and Dante each say. The bosses also have a limited amount of lines that they say over and over again.
The battles in Devil May Cry 4 at the beginning of the game is very easy. Not long into the game the player will experience more intensive and challenging enemies to fight allowing the player to every increase their combo rating.

This game isn't a terrible game but it is an entertaining for at least 20 hours or more. The rating 8.5 is too high and 8.0 is too low for this game. This game should deserve an exact rating of 8.2.
