10 December 20119.0/10Christmas came and went, and Devil May Cry 4 never made it's appearance. That might have made some gamers sad; it was excellent planning by Capcom to avoid having DMC4 … Read more

13 February 20088.7/10Despite the game's occasionally annoying camera and some level backtracking, Devil May Cry 4 still has a lot to keep you engaged for a while. Read more
- First class art direction, awesome cut-scenes, lasting visual appeal, exciting gameplay, new moves and fighting styles, plenty of extras, challenging enough for every gamer out there.
- A certain amount of level backtracking, puzzles aren't much, camera may still bother some players.

1 July 20085.0/10It's a survival horror game where survival really is the name of the game, but at points you might just opt to get your head caved in by a big metal helmet instead. Read more
- Visually it's competent
- Puzzles become rather samey, Combat is almost nonexistent, Relies on gore over atmosphere

11 April 20088.9/10is a great game for those that want pure and uncut action. The game may have its downsides (despite the heavily polished graphics there almost nothing new to the game), but you'll love to forgive them. Read more
- Amazing graphics, Dante and Nero's oneliners, Razorsharp action
- Backtracking, Little innovation

9.0/10For the first time in the series you start off not playing as Dante. Instead you play as Nero, a young guy who has been infused with the Devil Bringer that he hides from Kyrie (Kee-ree-ay, not Ki-ree), a girl he really likes. Read more
- Graphics are fantastic, Story is written well, The action is non-stop, The ballsy move to make Nero the initial player controlled character, The Devil Bringer moves are extremely cool
- The backtracking may be a negative for some, There are some noticeable jaggies in places, The camera, although better controlled, can be jarring when used statically by the game

4 February 20088.0/10The demon-hunting sequel delivers a highly entertaining action romp loaded with fun and fan service. Read more
- A visually splendid sequel that features great gameplay and wonderful presentation; online leaderboards.
- Platform-specific issues; has too many instances of "level recycling;" Dante sections drag a little.

Combat Heaven
6.0/10Reviewer: Rheazblaze, Amazon21 November 2011What we have here is a bunch of characters that seem to believe they are better than all that and seem to want to show it. Though the arrogance in the past DMCs had been oftentimes intolerable at least they were funny. Read more

DMC
10/10Reviewer: Newegg19 May 2009There are quite a few ares of this game that take place in the daylight and while it's visually impressive, I like my Devil May Cry dark and gothic. This game is way easier than DMC 3. Read more
- Awesome Graphics. The lighting and architecture are incredible! Combat is very enjoyable. It's genuinely fun beating the hell out of your enemies, LOL. The boss battles are really over-the-top- very well done.
- Yes you do revisit the same areas when you go through the game with Dante, but this is typical for the DMC series, and is really not done to any greater degree than in any of the past games, at least not IMO.

When all demons fall the Devil May Cry...

- Good if you don't like shooters
- Video play can sometimes seem a little too lengthy

"Excellent game with the storyline that continues the DMC saga."
8.0/10Reviewer: GSlamSlugger, CNET11 March 2008Devil May Cry 4 is one game that'll pull you right into the storyline even if you never played any of the previous DMC-series games. The graphics and gameplay of DMC4 are the main elements that makes it a great game. Read more
- Awesome graphics, good music/sound, excellent gameplay.
- If only Capcom would let people save exactly where they left off.

See moreDevil May Cry is the new Xbox 360 game that follows the adventures of Dante, a half-demon, who hunts the demon leader Mundus who he believes killed his parents. While on his quest, Dante meets his demon twin, Vergil. He also meets and saves his future partner Trish. But after his defeat, Mundus vows that he will return and succeed in his ambition to rule the world.
The game is played by accomplishing missions to advance, by fighting demons or other enemies, succeeding in tasks, or even solving the occasional puzzle. Ratings that help speed up advancement are based on a player’s speed, props use, combat style or injuries.
Creativity and guts will allow the player to advance. Players can also use Dante’s “Devil Trigger” which transforms him into a powerful demon temporarily. But it will take skill and style to reach the highest levels and finally avenge the murder of his parents.
