Haven't you played this before?...
All of my friends recommended me this game,and told me it's a must play.I followed the advice and got the game,for both the PS3 and Xbox360(rented).
The game is set in the DMC universe.It still feels like a DMC game.Having played DMC3 before,I can't stop but compare the two.Devil May Cry 3 on the PS2 was great.Even though I didn't like the theme or the story of the game,the gameplay was the one keeping me going.DMC3 had a very addictive gameplay.I wanted to get the same thing from this game as well.I did get it,partially.Everything about DMC3 was new,but DMC4 has nothing new or surprising.I wanted more from it.Of course visually the game looks very good and the animations and sound effects are well done.I can't see any visual problems in this game.The game looks great,the camera is good and all the other aspects of the game just fit together into this great package.The game is good,no doubt about it,but for those who played other DMC games before,it's just a little old,they won't see anything new besides the pretty graphics.The gameplay is solid but nothing new.The boss battles are great and are a little better than before.But that's all there is to it.
As a whole,Devil May Cry 4 is a good game for the fans of the series.They will certainly like this game a lot.I know I did,but it's very unlikely to become a fan of the series if this is your first game in the series.
The game is good and is worthy of it's name,but the lack of new things over it's predecessors or rivals stop it from achieving greatness.
Good: -good visuals
-follows the DMC tradition
-good cinematics
Bad: -nothing new
-not multiplayer
My Score: 8.1
