One of the best action games you can get for your PS3
The devil may cry franchise is one of big players in video game industry due to part of fast pace hack and slash gameplay. The original Devil May Cry came out in 2001 and is often held as one of the best action adventure game ever made, but the series has been though many up and downs; thankfully Devil May Cry 4 manages to deliver a great experience and is one of the best in the series. The biggest problem with the Devil May Cry franchise is the difficulty, capcom never seem to have gotten right DMC2 was way to easy while DMC3 was way too hard so much so that capcom had to re-released it. But capcom really did its homework with DMC4, for starters there are two difficulties to choose from in the beginning Human (easy) and Devil Hunter (Normal), the human difficulty is obviously targeted towards newcomers while Devil Hunter is for veterans, furthermore there is a tutorial in the first level of the game which teach new comers the basics of the Devil May Cry 4 combat system. Veterans of the series will quickly notice the new protagonist Nero he seems like a character that was made to carter newcomers as his moves aren't as deep or complex as Dante's. In Nero's arsenal are his Blue Rose a Duel Barrel Revolver "Dirty Harry eat your heart out", the Red Queen a large sword with a motorcycle handle which allows players to charge there sword for faster and stronger attacks or exceed which is what the game calls it and finally the Devil Bringer a demonic arm that allows Nero to do busters which means he picks up enemy's and slams them into the floor and he even says "Slam-dunk" and the second ability allows Nero to stretch out his arm to reach certain platforms or even grab enemies a'la Bionic Commando style. Half way though the game you well get to play as Dante and this is where Devil May Cry 4 gets really fun as Dante plays more fluid than Nero. Dante gameplay mechanics is very similar to DMC3 except for one big change and that is that he can now switch Styles on the fly which really opens up the combo system and allows for a lot of crazy things to happen. Dante four styles are the same as DMC3 you get Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger, and Royal Guard you get pretty much the idea by there name. Graphically Devil May Cry 4 looks amazing, character animation and models look superb and the level design is diverse. On the sound department Devil May Cry 4 retains its heavy metal soundtrack and it's probably the best one in the series. Devil May Cry 4 length will average around 7 hours to complete but you can go back to find secrets and carry over your powered character into the many difficulties in the game, adding to the replay value is achievements and online leaderboards this adds a lot to the game as you can compare scores with your friends online. Devil May Cry 4 is one of this years best action/adventure game and if you have either a PS3 or 360 and are in the market for an action/adventure game this is it.
