True to the fans of Devil May Cry
So back in August i had a plan of what games i would get with the money that I had and this game turned out to be the final game that I new about so it was last on my list. Ive waited for a long time and heard the demo was coming out on the 25th of January and was really looking forward to getting an oppion on it.
I got the demo played it and i had beaten in 3 times.....and was....pacing back and forth afterwords going...that....that wasent that great only playing 10 minutes then getting to a boss then took mabey 5 minutes to beat....with not many combos or any idea of what your doing?
Frankly I said to myself " what will i do...." and now im at this point playing the game half way through and say to myself....never will I let a demo control my actions on what game to get again I got this game after school and Immediatly i found greatness and suprise.
I will start of with the story of this game, SO there is now a cult that is worshiping the god sparda (i call it a cult well.....people praying) who just happened to be Dante's father, Dante comes in wrecks up the place kills their leader and now the new character (who is in fact Ichigo Kurosaki's voice) Nero comes in going.....too bad for you buddy BOOM climatic event already.
So this is basically a revenge story (until mabey later on in the game no spoilers i try my best) where you are now ordered to go out and kill Dante which...is a hell of alot of fun especially when you fight him, a few characters from the other DMC will also be reapearring in this game the most of them all to me is Lady with the huge Bazzoka who was back in DMC3.
Now on to the gameplay, as i said through the demo I was Sceptacal wether the gameplay would be better with more combos...and yea it is alot better probably the best part about this game is infact using a combo to cut some dude to shreds, the combos are really really deep and thought forward especially when you get to the part where you get to play as Dante and be able to switch between 5 diffrent fighting styles ( with some no hella cool new moves).
Their are also two diffculty setting one easy and one hard, now by chosing one of these difficulties your basicaly sighning a contract that states i will play the game through this difficulty or have to start over a new game because is to easy or too hard its really up to you.
On Nero's side he has a demonic power controlling his arm or in better words the Devil Bringer. You use this to grab eneimes from afar then slamming them into the ground as well as using it in some combos which make things alot more bloody... use also use his arm to latch on to these floating blue orbs in the air which are later used for puzzles which are really just like.....meh....
This does not mean that his weapon Red Queen and his gun Blue Rose are complete push overs no no no.....his motorcycle sword is definetly a cool new weapon to the game since you are allowed to charge up the swords attacks and create a diffrent set of combos which is absoloutly playing but when it comes to diffrent styles of fighting he only has his new arm.
The bosses in this game are truly marvelous that will make you use diffrent combos and tactics each time you face them the only problem that i found is that the same boss will appear over and over to you again but hey....nothing like showing a old dog new tricks....by that i mean beating him down again and kicking him back into a fierry hell.
There is also if i should mention some puzzles that are in the game that have to do with like hitting this huge thing that floats in the air around or to changing diffrent areas or slowing down time....to me i got this game to see cool characters fight and to see sweet anime cutscenes then be able to fight my counterpart thank you very much...As well as the camera giving you a couple of difficulties but nothing major
Through the game you will also encounter secret missions as well which are for the more experienced players on experiece i learned ill play the game a couple of times first.... these are hard and diverse but allow you to just hack through eneimes over again.
The Graphics are absouloutly some of the best i have seen on the 360 (i have looked at the PS3 and they are almost identical...except for the shadows from the light through like trees) as much as you want to kill that enemy just stare at him for 3 seconds and think....what if.....awww screw it lets just slice him to pieces and looking at his body later if it hasent dissapered.
The Cutscences in this game are....ahhh....look at the pretty blood....but really ive been playing this game non stop and DMC4 could show a thing or two too Naruto and show them how really anime should be presented.
The controls are also great as well allowing you to move with grace and almost feel like your sliding around the area or jumping down to a near by building or putting a nicely red blade into someones stomach....yep...these are what controls should do....stab people with big red swords...THIS dosent mean that they are all great it is sometimes frustrating to keep trying to jump to his ledge over and over again.
Now for the sound and music (which people think is terrible but i say NAYYYYY) the sound in this game is great you can hear your sword swinning and slash and been thrown pretty sweet as well as your gun firing off countless bullets over and over again and dropping to the ground as well as blood splatering on the ground. The music that starts when you enter combat is this hardcore metal kind of music which...to me....is sweet....I might hear it over and over again but it continues to get me pumped up.
Overall as i said at the top THE DEMO IS NOT A TRUE REPRESENATION OF THE GAME. Thus game MUST be played by any DMC4 fan or even someone off starting the series....or for someone who just wants to get some hack and slash action in. The point is just because a demo might suck....dosent mean that a game can still truly stand out...and be amazing..
(P.S Critics....stop giving this game a hard time...jesus christ...lighten up and just play the game and have fun not for who your working for)
