Button Mashin' Good June 15, 2008
After a mixed batch of previous efforts, varying from near perfect, blindingly difficult and downright ugly, anybody would have been forgiven for thinking that this game would either fail big time or only appeal to the hardcore gamer. Well I would have to say that neither of those statements are true... entirely.
DMC4 is at heart an arcade inspired action/slash em up game with nods to other games such as Resident Evil and Ninja Gaiden. You take the role as Nero and Dante (the latter of which DMC fans will be accustomed) and your job is to run through castles, crypts and other fiendishly halloween inspired locations. The only hitch is that situated in each of these beautifully crafted locales is a plethora of demon spawn and other unsightly creatures from the night. You name and it DMC has it, and will throw at you as hard as it possibly can. The joy of this game lies in the action, and being an action game I wouldnt expect anything less. The controls are responsive and the combos you can pull of feel fluid and make your eyes orgasm. The more you progress and the better you get the more points you will earn which in turn can buy you more moves and combinations to help you kick demon butt in an even more stylish manner.
This game has tons of replay value, with varying difficulty levels and achievements to obtain, but unfortunately this is also where the huge pitfall of the game lies. With so many reasons to play over and over again, I would have expected Capcom to have implemented a little more effort in varying the levels a little more. Back tracking is all well and good... but in the latter half of the game when you play as the original anti hero of the series you find yourself gunning through practically all the same areas as you did with nero. As unfortunate as this may be, it does little to harm the overall package. Beautiful visuals, smooth and fluid controls and positively oozing with style and pizzaz, this game should feed the hunger of any DMC fan and anybody else who wants a simple yet fun and inventive action game
unmissable May 27, 2008
This game has a great combo system and is unmissable. The missions are great and the bosses are good.
 Very Decent Game! May 24, 2008
I only got Devil May Cry 4 because of my fond memories of the first one(the only one i played), the news that the 1st director returned for it, and the extremely cheap price. I'm also a sucker for games with hoodies in. However, it took a long time to get to grips with the controls, which is when it can be fully enjoyed. I'm the kind of guy who has to get used to a game and mabye complete it once before i can truly enjoy it. It definitely delivers there.
Some great Boss Battles
Cool Characters (Dante's always been a winner)
Amazing Graphics, I first purchased it when i had a standard definition
set, where its still better than PS2 or Xbox, but when i got A HDTV 42" Plasma, it really impressess.
Good Character Development system.
Funny Voice Acting. You have to laugh at the cheese. Nero manages to escape sometimes, but in Capcom, Cheese can't be missed.
serious fun May 20, 2008
DMC4 is alot of fun. the moves are spectacular, and coupled with the sweet graphics, this game just looks superb, also its really easy to pick up all the different combos you unlock throughout
Dante's back to stick it to Satan April 12, 2008

This is truly my kind of game: An action heavy fantasy adventure thats all about chopping up massive demons with a gigantic sword. It's a thick necked, big-fisted action game thats all about kicking ass and lookin good.
First off, anyone who was afraid that series regular Dante was given the sack for this instalment need not worry, he's playable for almost half the game and even kills demons with a magic suitcase that transforms into a laser cannon. Thats Devil May Cry for you.
However, DMC4 is new guy Nero's story. Luckily Nero is awsome. He swings around a sword that can rev like a motorbike (for fiery attacks) and has a magic demon hand which can be used for powerful slam dunk moves. Nero is a worthy succesor to Dante (not to mention they look the same).
Without a doubt this is one of the best looking games on Xbox 360 to date and the graphical power is really utilized in varied enviroments like gothic castles, jungles and icy mountains.
The only complaint is that Dante's half of the game is basicly backtracking to the begining of the game where Nero began, and involves fighting the same bosses again.
It doesn't matter much. Coupled with a silky smooth fighting system and incredible action rammed cut scenes, Devil May Cry 4 has secured itself as possibly the best hack n' slash adventure to date and will probably remain so until God Of War 3 comes around.
