Devil May Cry 4 - Review from a Veteran
Devil May Cry 4 Review
The devilishly divine demon destroying game, Devil May Cry 4 (DMC4) is finally out, and once again Capcom has managed to hold onto what makes the game good, and improve upon it. With a new character, Nero – built with new moves and abilities, it’s sure to lift the series for those getting sick of Dante, but if you still enjoy his cunning and comedic attitude he is still a playable character. Be prepared for fast intense combat, brilliant cut scenes and some repetitive let downs.
The game starts out different from the past trilogy, this time Nero is in a ceremony for the religion he follows: Order of the Sword. During the ceremony whom should fall through the ceiling? Dante randomly appears and assassinates the head of the Order. It’s then placed upon Nero to track down Dante and discover the true meaning of the Order of the Sword.
DMC4 puts you in the shoes of Nero for the first half of the game, and while his sword and gun moves perform quite similarly to Dante’s from previous games, Nero has a sword that can be “revved up” for a few more damaging attacks. They have added a new gameplay mechanic in; the Devil Bringer Arm, this is Nero’s connection to his demon powers. The arm is Nero’s “tank weapon”.
You use it to grab people from afar and bring them towards you, or visa versa, and you can use it to stay in the air when fighting bosses and avoid a lot of their attacks. Nero’s arm also is used to do a lot of different grabs depending on the enemy. These grabs do a lot of damage and is almost required to be used at some stage of a fight. The Devil Bringer can also be used when bosses take a rest, which performs a lengthy cool throw sequence which does a lot of damage, similar to God Of War, but without the button pressing.
About halfway through, the game turns a bit sour and excellent at the same time. You get to play as Dante! Dante comes equip similar to how he was in DMC3. He has 4 styles he can use which will give him different abilities, such as being able to block attacks or do some wicked gun manoeuvres. While he is much more fun and faster to play, you will find you will miss Nero’s Devil Bringer immensely and realise you used it as a vital part of your fighting and you may have trouble killing once easy enemies because of it. Thus Dante has a learning and readjusting curve that needs to be passed, and once you have, Dante will be killing demons much faster and more enjoyable than Nero.
The down side to playing as Dante, as things can get very repetitive; mostly Dante will be exploring every area Nero did, in reverse. He will fight almost every boss Nero has fought. And the one unique boss for Dante isn’t that memorable and more frustrating. So you better hope you like Dante’s style of play as if not you might get a bit bored.
Boss battles are famous in these games and are as epic as ever. While not overly complex they are fun and give you the adrenaline rush that you crave. When playing as Nero you can initiate a finishing move that does major damage and looks awesome. The downside to bosses is that you will fight most of the bosses 3 times throughout the game, when the developers could have easily put some new different bosses in the game.
Players collect Red Orbs from killing demons and destroying things such as pots and boxes. These are used as currency in the series. These are used to buy things that will keep you alive throughout the game. Players will get a rank at the end of each mission, and that determines how many “Proud Souls” you will get, these are used for purchasing new moves and abilities.
DMC4 is presented greatly, graphically the game is beautiful, at 60 FPS the game looks stunning and the cinematic cut scenes look even better and amazing. While there are a few issues with some shadows, the game overall looks brilliant. Audio in the game is okay, music is still the same stuff you’ve heard before. Sound effects are suitable but nothing amazing, cut scenes are much better though.
If you are a fan wanting some button mashing gaming buy DMC4!
8.8/10
