Thousands of years later, a religious organization worships this renowned savior and has taken it upon themselves to rid the world of all evil. Residing in Fortuna, this organization is known as the "Order of the Sword," and is made up of an elite group of "Holy Knights." One day, a young knight named Nero witnesses Sparda's legendary son Dante slaughter his fellow warriors. Has the renowned devil hunter turned his back on mankind? What does thie encounter mean for these two individuals? In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero's "Devil Bringer, a new feature that has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero's right arm.

 The best Devil May Cry To Date? I believe So February 19, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
As i bought my PS2 with Devil may cry i couldn't believe how good it was. I played DMC maybe five times throughout my PS2 days. Not in a row but when a game got me going back you know it's good. So of course i was hyped for Devil May Cry 2...sad of course. It wasn't nearly as good as it could of been. Then Devil May cry 3 comes along, and i had doubt, but quickly went away. It was a knockout and a easy 9/10 for me. So here comes Devil may Cry 4. New characters, new adventure, and on a next gen system!
Story - 9 - The story is anything special. No it's not going to change your world and as a book it would suck. But guess what? With the great fight scenes the story becomes very entertaining and keeps you glued to your seat. I actually enjoyed the story of this one a bit more then 3 and more then 2 and 1.
Graphics - 10 - Outstanding. With each Devil May Cry they keep pushing the graphics and this one is no exception. With it's effects, models, and design it's all here. The graphics are top notch and work very well. If you don't like the designs well it's your lost. The graphics still shine and even better in HD.
Gameplay - 9 - Why not a perfect 10? Well Nero is a great new edition. Really makes the gameplay change up but the problem i had with it is it becomes a bit to easy at times. But once Dante comes in and the old devil may cry gameplay feeling along with it you get right back into it. Nero is fun but Dante is where it's at. So a 9 in total, 5/5 for Dante and 4/5 for Nero.
Enjoyment - 8 - A short adventure but plenty of difficulties. Theres a few problems though, mostly just nitpicking. I disliked that Dante had less missions and i know Nero is now the new main but Dante should of had the same amount. Also they don't explain how Nero and "Vergil" dante's brother are related. They leave a few to many answers unanswered and although i love capcom i can't see em explaining them in future games.
Final Score - 9.2 - Really the best there is at the moment. I love 1 and 3 but 4 is the best if you ask me. So you can't lose with this one, devil may cry 4 is indeed a winner on both PS3 and XBOX360.
Almost perfect.... March 15, 2008

Pro
- Intense and diverse Gameplay all sorts of crazy combos where you are fighting mid air or throwing a boss 3 times your size. Always getting new powers/upgrades. Bosses are amazing in this game and there are a lot of them. This game is very addictive, I couldn't stop playing.
- Perfect graphics. Some of the best I have seen
- Very Cinematic. I enjoy the story aspect of this game and cut-scenes are just another way this game shows off the graphics. Don't listen to those that complain about too many cut scenes. If you don't want to watch the cut scenes you can skip as many of them as you want. So were is the problem here?
- Highly customizable. Normal or Hard difficulties, automatic combos on or off, change controller config., choose upgrades or automatic upgrade.
- High re-playability. One great part about this game is that you can revisit all missions you have already completed. Each level you get a ranking based on how long the level took, style (combos), how many orbs collected. Go back and replay to increase rating to unlock new items and xbox achievements.
- Part of the game you play as a different character with different powers making it a nice change of pace.
Cons
- Too short. Can beat the game in about 6-8 hours. (this doesn't include time spent during cut-scenes or replaying levels for unlocks.)
- Second half of the game was a bit repetitive. You backtrack through certain regions and re-fight certain bosses, but as a different character with different objectives.
- Camera angles are very good at times. However, this is never the case when it really matters like boss fights, etc. Typically they also allow you to change camera angle too. Not a big issue just a little annoying at times.
- Menus and upgrade system can be a little complex and take some getting used to.
- Progress can only saved after each mission. (so basically every 30mins)
Verdict
The Pros are so amazing in this game that you will find the Cons not bothering you much. One of the best 1 player games I have played. It is very addictive as well, you will want to keep playing until you beat it all the way through.
Pure gold hack-n-slash style on a disc September 13, 2008
First of all I must say that this review may seem a bit biased as I absolutely love the DMC game series. It's quite possibly one of the best games of it's genre. The game looks simply amazing, the voice acting is superb, it's fun to play, and it's very easy to pick up for those new to the DMC series. It's got everything, a captivating storyline, amazing cut scenes, intense boss fights and more. Has a high replay value. It's one of the few single player games I have that I've actually put back in the xbox after beating it more than once. If there were anything I would change about it, it would be the awkward camera angles (not too many but at times you will notice what I'm talking about). Very highly recommend this title! Good luck.
2nd best devil may cry game September 30, 2008
I am a huge devil may cry fan. This one is very cool. Your not dante but you are someone very much alike. His name is nero. The only difference is he has a added ability which is a cursed hand that can slam and throw real far. The adventure is so amazing it is almost as good of the 3 devil may cry game. please pick this game up.
Fun game November 13, 2008
I really like hack and slash games and this is no exception, I love the combos you can score, especially with boss fights which triggers some pretty epic scenes. In some games I dread boss fights, but in DMC4 I look forward to them. gg.
