Re: Devil May Cry 4: Reviews

I have gone for an 8, i enjoyed the series on PS2 and think it has transferred well to the 360

It looks amazing, although can be a bit linear.

It is and doesn't pretend to be anything other than a hack n slash

Re: Devil May Cry 4: Reviews

Not a fan of the series. Really dislike hack & slash games. bought this as a break from online shooters.

But i think that Capcom have done a very good job, the presentation is excellent. it can be linear at times, but it's difficult to make the hack and slash genre imaginative.

the bosses are amoung the best ive seen visually and have an immense sense of scale.

Ok the camera sucks, especially in the latter half of the game where you have to make your way back, but it's overall good fun, i'm even thinking og playing it through twice. it got a 7 from me

Re: Devil May Cry 4: Reviews

graphically Capcom are the best Japanese developers IMO. Actuaqlly so far for the 360 Capcom are the best Japanese developers full stop. Team Ninja may change that once ninja gaiden 2 is out. Anyway back to the game, its good. Certainly not great. Nero's moves arent as pleasurable as dante's, so its lucky you get to play as dante late in the game. the over-machismo and corny oneliners grate after a while tho i do prefer the Japanese take on machismo than the hollywood version (as in Gears of War). Actually Zero Punctuations review is one that sums it up nicely

Err that didnt work when tried to embed it, hres the link; http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...evil-May-Cry-4
