Reviewed on 2008-07-12 More of the same 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.

Reviewed on 2008-07-07 It's just not good. I don't get it. This game is just bad. A friend gave me his copy after he beat it. He loved the game. Maybe it's because I just finished Metal Gear, GTA4, Uncharted, Mario Galaxy, Bioshock & Ratchet but I can't get into this at all. Despite the okay graphics, it just feels dated. It's boring, generic and repetitive, with dull storytelling. The menus and presentation are atrocious. Maybe I'm missing something, a lot of people liked Assassin's Creed too, and well that was terrible. There are so many better games you could be playing than this, if you must, rent it, but don't spend money on this.

Reviewed on 2008-07-06 dante, nero & big bosses i must first say that ive played all the devil may cry game. this game is just the game i was waiting for. nero is a new character to devil may cry, but he fits in perfectly. his move is just nice to used once u know when and how to used them. dante is my favourite character he is fast, powerful & his weapon & fighting styles are what makes him such an aggressive character. the bosses are big, but nuttin that cant be defeated. all in all great, sound, polished graphics, nice levels, a fair enough story with lot of time to power-up ur charcater & a decent replay value.

Reviewed on 2008-06-26 IT'S GOOD!!! THIS GAME WAS GOOD. I LIKE IT. THE CGI WAS GOOD. I ENJOYED PLAY THIS GAME. ALSO THIS GAME WAS FUN.

Reviewed on 2008-06-23 A button masher's dream come true! Okay, so we rented this game, and I was a bit leery. I haven't played any of the previous DMC's so I don't know the back story or how much fun they were... but this game was a trip! I am a button masher, I admit it, if things are coming at me with swords, or guns or whatever, my instinct says "Mash all of the buttons and hope something happens!" the good thing about this game is that it works! I was flying all over the place an destroying the bad guys. So why not a 5 star game? Well the story was a bit convoluted, and the critters I was demolishing with my sword and demon arm were fairly repetitive... but it was a blast. The graphics were very good. The music was heavy metal-ish which didn't bother me because it felt like it went with the game. Is this a must buy? Not really, but I would at least rent it for a fun time. Note to parents - There is some language in here I would cringe if my 6 year old heard... and there are some cut scenes that appear to have a lot of sexual innuendo (one actually looked like a lesbian scene) and boobies do bounce on the overly large breasted women in this game. You have been warned.
