There's just something about this game...
Next-gen graphics makes it look awesome, not to mention that the frame rate never drops down... but there's something about the game itself that makes it feel weird...
DMC4 introduces a whole new character, Nero, who's got much of dante's personality and hair style, but at the same time, he's quite different, and he has a completely different background, not to mention a different move set, overall, I'd say he is a memorable character.
About halfway through the game, you stop controlling Nero, and get control of Dante, who retains most of his DMC3 moves, which is cool, although the Rebellion (Dante's Sword) has some new visual effects I don't particularly like. Dante is also the only who has more than one weapon, he can use Gilgamesh (Which is like Beowulf or Ifrit), and lucifer, a whole new (very stylish) weapon. Apart from the usual shotgun and Pandora's Box, which has like 6 different modes.
The story... well, as usual, someone wants t open the gate to the demon world, nothing of importance to mention. Dante once again looks totally differen from any other DMC game, although his voice actor fom DC3 is back, which is cool, and his cocky attitude is also back.
Well, since the game is split into two parts, whit different characters, it makes the game feel not properly put together. Let me put it like this, once you're getting the grip of Nero's moves, and you're starting to pull off some awesome combos, the game changes to Dante, and you have to forget everything you learned and try to remember Dante's moves from DMC3. This split also made me feel the game was a bit short or something, I dunno how to express that feeling. Also, unless you are interested in completing the Bloody palace mode (wave after wave of enemies), once you finish the story, there's not much left to it.
So, if the game has improved, what's wrong with it? I DON'T KNOW, there's just something about it that amke's it not as appealing as the last game, maybe it's the story, maybe it's something else, I don't freaking know, and I don't know what to say... I'm a freaking fan of the DMC series, then why does this game disappointed me? I don't know...
Well, overall it was good, not amazing, but good, give it a try if you liked the other DMC games.
