An awesome game that should'nt be missed (spoiler free)
The first time I was introduced to the Devil May Cry series, it was DMC 3. I was instantly hooked. The fast paced action kept you on your toes. Dantes jokes would me laugh real hard, as well as Jester. And on top of that it had a great story. I'd just watch the cutscenes again and again (Special Edition).
Then I got DMC 1. It wasn't as fast paced as the third, and the jokes were minimal. At first I was kinda bored, but after an hour or so I loved it.
Then, despite the bad reviews, I got DMC 2. It didn't hold a candle to the other two, but on it's own, it's a decent game.
And then came DMC 4. I was afraid that I would be dissapointed. I wasn't. I won't spoil the story, but let me just say that it's just as good as the third (gonna compare to the third, as it reminds the most of the third), but it didn't have the same impact.
The music is great. It doesn't get anoying hearing it again and again. But personally I still prefer "Devils never cry" (main theme in DMC 3), but that's just me.
Obviously the newcomer nero's got some different moves than Dante. And don't worry, he's every bit as good as Dante, while playing completly differently. The Red queen (his sword) has got a load of moves, as do the devil bringer (his arm). And Blue rose (his revolver) can charge up to do massive damage. But don't think Dante's left out in the cold. He can now switch styles on the fly, and carry three guns and three devil arms. He now upgrades his styles buy buying a new level.
Some other stuff you should know. Unlike previous DMC games, you can now sell a move if you don't like it. You still use red orbs for blue orbs, purple orbs and items. But moves are bought sepeately using "proud souls". Also Dante and Nero share Health, red orbs and proud souls.
To sum it all up. I don't like the story and music and story as much as in the third, but thats a matter of oppinion. Dante isn't as fun, but can still put a smile on your face. Now does this mean you should just get the third? No. This is a great, fun, AWESOME game. You should get DMC 3 and 1 first if you care about story. Though it won't be impossible to understand it.
I apologize if you haven't played DMC before, and didn't understand all the things I said. I'll make a DMC 3 review soon.
