Devil May Cry 4 (Xbox 360)

Advantages: A great actin adventure game, some of the best game play in the series
Disadvantages: Similarities to earlier DMC games, but it still works

Devil May Cry is back with it's latest instalment, Devil May Cry 4, and, dare I say it, better than ever. Being a DMC fan from the beginning I am delighted to announce that Capcom have made the transition to the next gen console superbly. All those features that have defined the series so far are back in force. The visuals are stunning and the game play is the typical fast flowing melee driven style that we have all come to love. Capcom have done ...
...know by now the hero devil hunter, Dante, has bee replaced by the new kid Nero. However, to those Dante obsessed gamers, and I can confess I am one of them, do not fret. Though Dante does make an appearance in the game, the new character gives way to new combinations and fighting styles that fans can sink their teeth into. The devil bringer and exceed features are superb and allow the game to be explored to the full extent to discover all combinations ... Read review

Advantages: Graphically superb, extrodinary gameplay, the coolest playable characters.
Disadvantages: Its shortness

...of those moments. Capcom's famed Devil May Cry series has struck it rich with its newest instalment; Devil May Cry 4. With its epic story, outstanding graphics and the most badass characters you'll ever see, makes this game one that everyone will need to complete their game collection. To those who don't know of the Devil May Cry series, let me elaborate for you. It is set in a world that's constantly under harassment from the demon world, and always ...
...the price is right. Devil May Cry, however, does not follow on from any of the prior games, so it's good if you want to get involved with the series; you can just pick this one right up and play with knowing all that goes on. As Devil May Cry 4 is based around newcomer; Nero, whom possesses devil abilities, it won't represent much except some classic characters from earlier games. This time round, it is set in a distant land where the Castle town ... Read review

Advantages: Ok story, ok, graphics
Disadvantages: Short, Repetative, No different from others in series.

The basic story of Devil May Cry is that 2000 years ago a demon called Sparda went against the other demons and devils to save humanity. Sparda saved the world and sent the demons back to Hell. However demons are always coming back to earth and so earth always needs help. Help comes in the form of a Devil called Dante. Dante is the son of Sparda and is actually half devil half human. In Devil May Cry 4 you play as a new charactor known as Nero. ...
...played any of the previous Devil May Cry series you will not have much to learn or master again and you will feel as though you are just playing the same old game again. The Game is basically exactly the same as previous versions with a different story. I found that after almost each level I completed I would become bored of the repetativeness of the game and have to stop playing. The demons you face are not really a challenge and lack any proper ... Read review

Advantages: excellent gameplay, super graphics, great coombs and moves
Disadvantages: short completion time

Well this is the first Devil May Cry that I have played and after downloading the demo from Xbox LIVE wanted this game big time. It's not often I get hold of a game on the day it's released, but Devil May Cry 4 was one of them! The story starts of with you as a part of an order called "The Order Of The Sword". A group of people who defend the city of Fortuna from hordes of demon invaders. On an occasion when the leader (known as the Saviour) is ...
...and throughout that story of Devil May Cry 4 you will find that the Order Of The Sword are actually looking to manipulate demons in order to make the human race stronger and in the process using Nero's love, Kyrie, against him as he discovers too much. A nice touch is when Nero effectively dies and you need to continue the game as the man in red, or as Devil May Cry fans may know him...Dante! Storyline: Well the storyline did keep me intrigued ...

Advantages: Awesome hack'n'slash gameplay
Disadvantages: Repetition of stages and poor unlockable weapons

=Introduction= I love the Devil may Cry series and bought this game as soon as it was released. Obviously as a lover of the series, I bought the Limited Edition. It features a metal tin, and a small artbook from the game. These are the only differences from the original edition which is quite disappointing, especially when compared to the Animé DVD released for the American Limited Edition. =Gameplay= DMC4 features the regular hack'n'slash action ...
...Nero's main weapon is his Devil Bringer arm, which is initiated by the B button. This is one of the greatest ideas ever, I think, as it can be used to bring enemies towards you, which tackles an annoying part of the previous games. The arm can also be used to execute a special attack, which too, is awesome, as the move varies depending on what enemy Nero is fighting. This adds an element of surprise to the game, and as you face new enemies you are ... Read review
