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

http://www.xboxworld.com.au/games/xbox-360/devil-may-cry-4/review.htm

+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.

Review done by Brodie Gibbson. All Other reviews by him:

ninety-nine nights was at least a 7/10 for me... I liked that game :) Also, the whole "backtracking" thing is a much bigger issue for me than for others I guess... I think I'm going to end up passing on this game. I've never played a DMC game before... why start now? :P I'll wait for the demo before I decided. Thanks for the linkage, tho.

Umm... I definately think NBA 08 is the worst game on that list, but overall seems like he is a fair reviewer...

Yeah, just making note that he doesn't hand out "A" scores.

This review is out a bit fast for it to be considered reliable. And I imagine Aus gets their coppies of the games later than everyone else too.

"Repeated level design and moderately troublesome camera"

Bah...that's been said about every DMC. I'm not scared. DMC4 looks AWESOME.

I played the ps3 demo last Saturday at this sort of mall thing out in Kawasaki and it played pretty good. What's weird though is I couldn't seem to get Nero to dodge roll. Did they take it out? The right stick was dedicated to panning the camera left and right across the scene. It seemed kind of jaggy but it still looked great and played nice. Its that old demo teaser from like last March that stops right before the giant flamey guy though, so hopefully they've cleaned up the image quality.

Backtracking? That was something dmc1 got right. It had very little backtracking. But dmc2 and 3? My gosh. The entire game feels like its based off that. Like a more actiony zelda. I'll still play through the game sometime, but thats sad to hear.
