Devil May Cry 4

This first post will be for the Xbox 360. I am a newcomer to the Devil May Cry series. Getting to know the controls were surprisingly easy. There is a handicap for newcomers, such as myself, to pull of difficult combos in game by pressing a single button in certain combinations. Was very rewarding to see my character perform combos right off the bat.

The game has many cutscenes. They are B-E-A-utiful. In watching them, much of the story begins to unravel. One of the best parts in he story is switching characters. This brings a whole new dimension to the game. Instead of playing Nero, you play as Dante. Dante was the star in the previous Devil May Cry games. The game is not very long. It can be beat in under 10 hours. The best part in the game is the bosses. There are three main bosses in the first part of the game, when you are playing the character Nero. The sad thing with this game is the repeating. Once you start playing with Dante, you hav to go back through everything you just played through.

The many positives still go on. The difficulty levels give the game a definitely high replay value. There are also many different small side games that can be played, if found. This is a nice distraction, plus each one gives a power-up.

The last negative in the game is the voice acting. The only bad thing is sometimes it is so corny i want to punch the screen. Maybe it is just me but....

All in all, this gamer was one of the elite games for the 360.
