Devil May Cry 4 Review

24
Geekpulp writes "Many a Sony fanboy weeped bitter tears of sorrow when they discovered that Capcom's popular series, Devil May Cry, was making its way onto a Microsoft console for its fourth iteration. The rest of the gaming world realised that it was a move that will only benefit the series. By all accounts it runs pretty much identically on the PS3 and Xbox 360 (minus an install requirement), so now owners of either console can enjoy this "stylish action" game that is well known for its over the top combat and epic boss battles. It is a game about kicking a whole lot of ass with dudes that look like chicks."

"Dudes that look like chicks?"

Yeah all chicks I date have facial hair :\, what an idiot.

And the "chicks" in this game rival those found in most Itagaki games.

1.1 - manly men?
Those dudes are pretty feminine. And if you hang around the elderly you may realise woman can have facial hair :)

You don't understand that?. It runs great with no Frame Rate issues etc.

So if the 360 beat the PS3 in loading by one second that means the 360 version runs better?. lol

2.3 - are you kidding me
Dude I have played both version and they run almost identically. Frame rate issues are near non-existant. Xbox 360 loading times may be longer than ps3 yes, but when that is less than 10 seconds who gives a s##t. As for the install, it has to be noted because a whole lot of ps3 owners got pissed off because of it.

3 - Sony fans are not upset by the multi-platform status of DMC4
DMC has gone to PC before.

What they really don't like is the fact that Dante is not the hero of the series anymore.

He's the best of the best and cannot be beaten (according to the other games).

Not for me it wasn't. I bought the game expected it to just be good, in the 8.0 range. I've been surprised by just how great dmc4 really is. Its the best game in the series so far and a solid 9.0 in my book.

5 - reviewers just cant leave thier fanboyism out of reviews anymore can they.
what does dmc4 being reviewed have to do with ps3 fanboys being angry it went to the 360? thats right...............NOTHING.

this is how you know reviewers just dont a review a game anymore, they review the console and then review the game next.

6.1 - perhaps
But those are some real femme-boys. How about compared to drakes fortune or any non-jrpg's? Not slagging the art style bro, read the review.

I rated it a 9.5/10 excellent game still playing on mission 17 of 20. I got the PS3 version, only thing wrong with both versions IMO is shadows have jaggies. I also owns all 4 DMC's now and like them all though 2 was weaksauce and this 4th needs a 3rd harder mode for extremists.

8 - more than one kind of enemy?
i've never played a devil may cry game. i recently played the demo but am wondering if the only bad guys in this game are the ones that come out in the demo or are there any different kind of enemies besides the final bosses.

I'M TIRED OF THIS!

If I see ONE MORE REVIEW OF DEVIL MAY CRY 4 UNDER 100%, I AM GOING TO ASSASSINATE THAT REVIEWER!

If you wanted originality, you shouldn't have given Halo 3 a bunch of 10's...you c0cksuckers!!!

11 - Great Game!
I love it like all the others except number 2. When I finally got Dante in the game and got use to him again I kicked sooooo much more ass than Nero. No offense but neros cool but hes more for noobs and dantes more for experts.

I enjoyed it a lot although I have to say it gets kinda repetitive after 10-12 missions. What keeps you from putting it down are the great fight mechanics.
