Video Game Reviews of Devil May Cry 4
Customer Review: More of the same
Summary: 2 Stars
I just finished DMC4 and can't say I loved it. The graphics are great, but that is tarnished with so many screens being displayed with a fixed camera. The controls are solid and intuitive with all of the various combos being simple to pull off. Also, the difficulty settings are great. You can go masochisitc like DMC2 or you can make it a one button masher and play all the way through.
The main issues with DMC4 are story and reptitiveness. You've played these games and they have changed very little, regardless of the character you are controlling. When I booted up DMC on PS2 for the first time, I was blown away. The second stage after the tutorial starts out and there is immediate sense of Deja Vu, not awe and excitement. I also have a problem with the story. Unlike Drakes Fortune or Heavenly Sword, the story didn't compel me to finish, and since the game played identical to previous installments in the series, I only finished just to justify the money I spent on it. Not a good reason to play through a game.
DMC4 has some positives, just not enough to make it worth more than a rental.
Description of Devil May Cry 4
Long ago the Dark Knight Sparda rebelled against the dark emperor and waged a one-man war to save humanity. Thousands of years later, a religious organization worships this renowned savior and has taken it upon themselves to rid the world of all evil. Residing in Fortuna, this organization is known as the "Order of the Sword," and is made up of an elite group of "Holy Knights." One day, a young knight named Nero witnesses Sparda's legendary son Dante slaughter his fellow warriors. Has the renowned devil hunter turned his back on mankind? What does thie encounter mean for these two individuals? In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero's "Devil Bringer, a new feature that has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero's right arm. With the PlayStation 3 system's advanced graphical capabilities, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Amazing visual effects and dynamic action coupled with a complex storyline, provides the very cool, slick and stylish attitude that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver. New active style change system for Dante allows him to switch styles and weapons on the fly, producing crazy combo possibilities ESRB Rated M for MaturePlaystation 3 Games
