XBW - First 360 Review of Devil May Cry 4

Man he's harsh :shock:

Anyways, the review is the best I've seen so far.

There still isn't any Western or Japanese reviews for the game, but Australia is quick out the gate.

+Sublime Gameplay
+Solid Narrative/Story
+Dante's one-liners

-some backtracking
-some camera issues

9/10

Devil May Cry 4 is everything a hack-and-slash should be and then some. Sadly it falters with repeated level design and a moderately troublesome camera; but in the grand scheme of things, these are only minor flaws. Devil May Cry 4 delivers an experience that is second to none on Xbox 360, so far. Held together by a solid narrative, it makes your blood boil with every fight you encounter. It's a great title, pick it up...I'd even go as far as to say this is the best Devil May Cry yet.

Did you post this on 1UP? Or did you copy it from there (because the wording in your post is the EXACT SAME).

But yeah, it's good to see that it's a decent game...

Hey,that´s the highest Rating I´ve seen...I think 86% was it before...the camera issues and the backtracking did a lot to prevent a better rating too.

Seems like a credible review, I'm buying( have bought ) anyway. Should be great._Bear

Yeah, I reserved my Collector's Edition at my local Gamestop because you get a free art book if you do. I rarely do that but that was my motivation. I'm eager to play it.

Isn't Devil May Cry just a linear sequence of sword/gun fights in specified stages/areas like a tekken game?

I think I had #3 for PS2 and hated it

Since I liked the 1st and 2nd,but didn´t like the 3rd (too unfair and too much of the same...) I´m not very positive about this one...there will be a Demo on the European Marketplace...I tell you after I played it.

After playing the Demo I just can say: Man,this Game looks awesome!But after playing it´s predecissors I think after the graphical magic is gone,this game will be the same as always.They added a minimum of new elements (like a Castlevania/GoW-like whip to pull you through big gabs) but the major mistakes of the games are still there.If you have been bored by DMC after 3h before,I don´t think this one will change it.But I really think about getting it if it get´s cheaper.Since there is no Online-Play and ther will be no contend-download or anythig,it isn´t hard to wait.
