A solid addition to the Devil May Cry franchise

Devil May Cry 4 starts out awkwardly to say the least. You are confronted with a young man named Nero. He looks just like Dante, has an ego just like Dante, and he seems to have a little girlfriend too. Nero is Dante in more than one way, he is part demon, he has gray hair, he is super strong, and he comes off as a complete jerk. However, I like Nero, his moves are more aerial than anything we've seen so far in this series, even more than Dante. His storyline is very solid and engaging, just as his new moves are.

However just as we are feeling comfortable with Nero, we lose him. He is inserted into some sort of god-like machine that haunts the city, causing ultimate destruction in its path. We then turn to Dante who must again save the world. Although all we do is back-track what we've done with Nero. We face the same bosses, the same environments, the same buildings, the same enemies, nothing changes.

Devil May Cry 4 is solid. It's a very fun play through, however it never really takes off into the "greatness" territory like the first two games in the series did. At least it's an improvement over Devil May Cry 3. Hopefully, we will see a much improved Devil May Cry 5, all the potential is certainly there.
