WTF!! Thats utter bullcrap.

DMC4 is way worse then DMC3. It lacks wide variety of weapons, moves, enviorments, bosses, story and dante.

DMC4 is one of the worse dmc it gives dmc2 some food for thought (buts its not that sh!tty). Nero, 50%+ Recycled Enviroment, 100% Recycled bosses, Lacks of Moves and weapons, No variety in DT makes this game sh!t.

I regret buying collectors edition.

Although i have just completed DMC3 and im now on DMC4, i have to say for a fact that DMC4 has really impressed me. Before buying the game three days ago, i looked at a couple of reviews that depicted the game as a disappointment. But to my greatest surprise, a hands-on test myself really made me think twice about what the reviewers had said.

First off, its obvious capcom know their graphics. This game looks amazing on my HD-TV and it impressed me as much as Uncharted: Drakes Fortune Did. The story-line is something i like as-well because they use each opportunity they can to shed light on what is happening. i Know alot of people dont like Nero as the main character, but i think its alright, and he gets the job done. He doest have a variety of weapons like our traditional dante, but he does have the ability to upgrade his skills and perform new moves.

I seriously prefer the control in dmc4 to dmc3 because they feel more fluid, responsive and accurate.

Capcom are very lucky they put effort into the PS3 version of the game because a bad port would have made alot of ps3 owners confirm thier worst fears, that capcom is being paid alot to show preference for the xbox360 side of the fence. but since they did a fantastic job, it shows there might still be hope...

All in all, im very very impressed with this game, and prefer it slightly to dmc3. im only on mission 9, so i havent gone very far. But so far DMC4 = very good.

You guys are nuts. DMC 3: SE was a damn good game indeed, but this one blows it out of the water hands down. Sure you don't have that many weapons and it feels a bit slower. But the animation, graphics, story and sound is way better. The enemies are diverse, not your generic hell sloths or whatever. Bosses are freaking amazing and the devil bringer makes the game hella fun. Plus you get two very different characters (Vergil and dante played similarly in 3), and a decent story with some really cool cut scenes. I plan to finish all difficulties and play bloody palace just for kicks once in a while. This game is ace if you are an action games fan, don't listen to all the losers that come on here and say "it didn't meet their expectations", no game can touch the depth and excitement of this game in the genre, so please give me a break, what do you want, dante to come out of the TV screen and shake your hand? will that make the game better. The game is awesome, buy it, there is no chance you will regret it unless your a spoiled little b*tch.
cheers

If it weren't for the backtracking I could wholeheartedly say that DMC4 edges over DMC3:SE. As it stands though they're about even to me, because 4's combat depth and storyline is tops.

I personally enjoyed DMC4. Yes, it feels like DMC1 + DMC3 at times, and yes bosses and environments are rehashed, and yes there are no secrets. But what is there is fun. The combat is fun. The weapons are fun. The bosses are fun (accept for Mission 19, I hated that fvcking level). I admit, it is incredibly disappointing that there are no additional costumes, but then again, I was never good enough at DMC to beat it past normal mode (except for DMC2 where you pretty much close your eyes and beat Dante Must Die). Anyways, I personally like it and it got the scores that it deserved. 8.5's are an accurate depiction of what the game is. Good, but not as great as the 9's of God of War and Ninja Gaiden.

i have to say I think capcom recycled the levels so it would fit on a dvd and make it seem long. The game goes likes this nero you fight all the bosses get to the end get trapped then dante goes backwards refights all the bosses has a final battle, then nero re-re fights 6 of the bosses (soooo lame) has a final battle game over, very freaking repetitive, in noway was it better then dmc3 it was equal at the best. there were a ton of times i kept saying my god i need to stop playing this.

I'm kind of glad this article is here.... This is just my opinion obviously but i was not looking forward to this game... I felt that the DMC series got a little corny...

I remember this game and Onimusha Warlords getting my attention on PS2 days...

I wish Onimusha was the game that kept going....

I Just felt cheated and your right credo was not reused but all the other bosses were, not just 3 i don't know were you got that from, i like nero's story, but what the hell did Dante have to do with it, he felt very thrown in, and the boss fights with dante felt off, because you did not have nero's arm. don't get me wrong i like the game, but it felt like you were doing alot of going back and forth. GOW2 on the other hand was very progressive and dude it was a ps2 game that felt "epic" great story, always new mechanics in the game, not just fighting but enemies. anywho.

In no way is DMC4 better than DMC3 except in graphics which is hardly a fair comparison considering the systems involved. The current generation of consoles is plagued with gaming media hyping up games to the nth degree and I for one am getting a bit weary of everything that comes out either being screamed about for being the best thing ever created or screamed about for not being the best thing ever created. There can be no more "decent" or "pretty good" games anymore, everything has to be blockbuster, blow your doors off, hands down the best thing EVER... Or it sucks.

I couldn't stand dante in dmc3, he seemed like some guy you see in mental institutions.

In dmc4 dante is the definition of "cool" and suprisingly he doesn't look like your typical girly man.

Dmc4's gameplay is far more tight compared to dmc3 and being able to use all styles at once just makes it even better.

Dmc4 only loses points on its backtracking, in no other way is dmc3 better.

All the backtracking through the castle and the forest.

Having to fight the same few bosses more than once (especially that fat stupid toad and the viper chick with the vagina of death!)

A practically non-existent story that should have been brought out and develop on such a greater scale (Nero's girlfriend should have been involved more in the story as well as her brother).

The only improvement that DMC4 holds over DMC3, besides the obvious graphical and sound advancements, is that now the player can switch between the 4 fighting styles on the fly.

After being let down by this game, I have convinced myself that God of War is the superior IP in EVERY single way.

God Of War FTW. It will take time for a game to surpass GOW, wait until GOW 3 is released, they say it's improved in every aspect
