A console game on PC! What more needs to be said about it.
There is not much you can say about the game that is negative. The graphics is absolutely amazing, the soundtrack is punchy - even though some don't really like that whole techno-rock type of sound - and the gameplay is inherently fast-paced. The only major qualm about the game is that due to its console roots, to play this game with a keyboard is almost impossible, but thank goodness it supports the 360 control. The honest truth is that the only way you're going to finish this game is if you invest in a control.
Naturally DMC4 is an acquired taste. For n00bs, things may seem a bit overwhelming, but after playing the first couple of levels, you might get to grips with the control scheme.
The core of DMC's gameplay has always been knocking up those combos, and unadulterated speed in gameplay. In these areas DMC4 does well, although it doesn't quite excel. The storyline is also done exceptionally well, and the new twist in the game is that the game revolves around Nero and not Dante, although you do get to play him later on. Nero has his weaponry that is just as cool as Dante's. His greatest weapon is his devilbringer hand that he uses in very creative ways. His other weaponry is pretty stock standard, i.e. sword and gun. Dante's weaponru has also been tweaked nicely. Thankfully both play differently, although we're not talking opposite sides of the scale different.
All-in-all a fun and entertaining game that will mainly appeal to fanboys, and those that know the gameply mechanics of such a title.
