The Scores of previous games.

DMC 1: 9.1

DMC 2: 6.4

DMC 3 Dante's Awakening: 8.6 Special Edition: 8:2

NG 1: 9.4

NGB: 9.4

NGS: 9.0

Previews

DMC4: "Devil May Cry 4 looks amazing. Whether it's running on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, Capcom's fourth entry in the eclectic series is easily one of the best-looking games on either console. Even better, it runs at a solid 60 frames per second, throwing around its beautifully animated characters, gloriously detailed backgrounds, and incredibly bombastic effects seemingly with ease. "

"Devil May Cry 4 is looking fantastic. There are some minor disappointments, particularly the fact that developers have completely ruled out a co-op two-player mode, but otherwise the game is shaping up to take the series to a whole new level of action. The game isn't slated for release until next year, so keep an eye out for more information on the game as we get it."

NG2: "From the look of things, Ninja Gaiden II is a fast, chaotic experience that is a good deal more intense than its predecessor. The mobs of foes hit fast and furious and seem to come out of the woodwork. We're curious to see how this will all work out in terms of pacing. The frenetic pace we saw in our demo looks to offer a meaty challenge and positions the game as one of the front-runners for "Game Most Likely to Take Your Lunch Money and Make You Cry in 2008." Masochists that we are, we're eager to see just how challenging the game is going to be."

"As seen in the trailer and live demo, Ninja Gaiden II looks pretty slick, even in its work-in-progress state. The character models look very sharp and move with a fluid grace that almost makes it a shame when they're cut down (but you get over it). Ryu looks incredibly sharp and every bit the badass you'd hope he'd be in a 360 appearance. The environments look lush and break apart quite nicely. The game's look also has a decided differently flavor thanks to a varied array of locales that span the globe and include some well-known places such as New York and Venice."

I hope I didn't hurt anyones feelings because God of War 3 is not in there butwe havehardly any info about the game.

I've always been partial to the Devil May Cry series to be honest. Ninja Gaiden has always been in my top3 though. Idk, just depends. Hopefully God of War really eclipses both. That being said, all look great.:D

NG2>DMC4

DMC4 just doesn't look that promising to me. NG2 seems like it's gonna break the action-adventure barrier while DMC4 isn't even going to scratch the surface. But I could be wrong, and let's hope I am.

take your fanboy goggles off please, dante is a demon from the underworld, ryu is just a human rofl

you obviously havnt seen the part where nero throws his sword through dante and yet dante still is fully mobile, I bet if someone through a huge sword through ryu he wouldnt have any last words.

I never liked playing Devil May Cry. I always felt like the things I was doing to get the big scores were more like exploits than anything really impressive.

Ryu also has nimpo. You can't forget that. And he fights with the demon sword, something made solely for slaying Ninjas. Plus he can block bullet fire with the demon sword and all of his other weapons. Dante would likely underestimate Ryu since, like you all say, he's just a human. Then he'd realize that twinge in his back was actually him getting sliced in half.

That is the appeal of DMC, at least to me. And I really don't think the games should be compared.
