Another great entry to the DMC series, with a great new main character to boot.
User Rating: 10 | Devil May Cry 4 PS3
Devil May Cry 4 is newest entry in the Devil May Cry series, and it just plain out loud rocks. Now, this go around Dante is not the main character, newcomer Nero, a rookie devil hunter, is the main character. Nero controls almost like Dante, but with a few differences, mainly being his Devil Bringer, a arm that allows him to bring his enemy's closer to him. The Devil Bringer is a great new addition to the game-play mechanics that DMC series has always had, allowing you to create even longer and crazier combo's and allows for some interesting way to defeat bosses(and some enemy's has well). Now DMC series has never been known for story, so don't expect much. Now, as I stated earlier, Dante isn't the main character, but he does make a appearance in the game and is eventually playable, as you progress through the game. Now on to the graphics, and they are phenomenal, everything looks amazing, from Nero and Dante and their signature trench-coats, to the enemy's and the bosses and the environment as well. As for the music, it's great, theirs nothing better then rocking out to the battle music that plays out while hacking, slashing, and destroying your enemy's. Now the difficulty is a bit of a double-edge sword, since they toned it down, which is good for those new to the DMC series, but may turn veteran's off for a bit, of course once you beat the game you unlock harder difficulty's. Another thing to mention is that when you switch to Dante, be prepared to do some back tracking, but that's something that may bother some people and may not bother some. All in all, Devil May Cry 4 is a great new addition to the Devil May Cry series, it retains the same great game-play from previous installments, has a great new character, while keeping character's from the old games in the series. DMC 4 is possibly the best game in the series to date.
