Devil May Cry 4

Devil May Cry 4 is a hack and slash action game played in a third-person perspective where you will get to control both Dante and Nero and must stop an impending demonic invasion. This is the fourth installment in the Devil May Cry series and it's one where Capcom really succeeded in creating a quality game.

Besides the fact that you will have to complete missions using Nero or Dante instead of just a single protagonist through the entire game, Devil May Cry 4 takes most of its gameplay from the previous installment.

With Dante, and this will only occur in seven different missions, the player will be able to access a wide variety of weapons. Instead of being able to keep only two weapons (one ranged and one melee), Dante can improve his arsenal by almost any firearm or blade he can get after slaying a boss.

Nero will be the main character on most of the missions and he will wield a powerful blade: Red Queen equipped with the Exceed Gauge power-up, a legendary revolver Blue Rose that has an auto aim function and of course, his legendary Devil Bringer arm/weapon/tool that will be upgraded several time during the game.

Benefiting from a revolutionary gameplay mechanics system, the game manages to capture the thrill of the fights even when they occur at high speeds. You never lose control of your character and will always be able to plan ahead for your next move.

There are some glitches in the visuals and even some problems with the camera, especially when moving at a high speed, but the game still delivers an impressive graphics experience with motion picture borderline animations.

The PC version has some extra features compared to the console version. There is the addition of the Turbo mode which can increase the action to an amazing speed. Another mode is the Legendary Dark Knight. When activated, the game will fill the screen with a large number of enemies, thus increasing the difficulty. Other features include a benchmark testing and a highly customizable video options menu.

The game is all about the fights: the demon fights, the monster fights and the boss fights. Advanced moves and impressive cinematic scenes turn it into a masterpiece as Nero/Dante slash and shoot their way through a gigantic number of enemies. The action is constant and combined with the gripping storyline gives a great result.
