Xbox World Australia Review: Devil May Cry 4 90/100

Brodie Gibbons of Xbox World Australia writes:

Devil May Cry 4 is everything a hack-and-slash should be and then some. Sadly it falters with repeated level design and a moderately troublesome camera; but in the grand scheme of things, these are only minor flaws. Devil May Cry 4 delivers an experience that is second to none on Xbox 360, so far. Held together by a solid narrative, it makes your blood boil with every fight you encounter. It's a great title, pick it up.

Pros:
+ gameplay is sublime
+ decent narrative
+ Dante's "Arnie-esque" punchlines

Cons:
- level repetition
- camera angle is a bother

9 / 10

PS3 IS the better version, but if you got a 360 you will be ok. The controller is really bad for DMC though, cause im used to playing it on PS3. If you got both...please....DO YOURSELF A FAVOR....get it on PS3. There ARE mild framerate issues on the 360.

Guess that forgot to mention that, it's legit from another reviewer who has both versions

1.6 - wow

No, seriously...shut up dude. They ported the PS3 version over to the 360. Since the PS3's infrastructure is so open, you can move over a lot of the coding into the 360. It's much easier to port it to the 360 than the PS3, now that developers have knowledge about the Cell.

I don't want to get techy with you, because that just leads to some guy posting a three-hour-speech about why he knows more big words than us. Let's keep this really simple.

- It does not cost them more.

- Cloverfield was a freakin' awesome movie.

- The framerate is fine.

- The 360 version is the one with screen-tearing (read any other reviews)

- The reviewers will continue to give it 9/10 because they don't like giving a hack 'n slash a 10/10...no matter how much better it is than every other 10/10.

Mk?

Sources and more then one please? I already made the mistake of buying A.C. for PS3 which had worse frame rate issues then the 360 version.
And wasnt that game a PS3 exclusive for a while. So why the hell was it worse? Anyways that doesnt matter. But I'd like to see all these reviews that claim frame rate problems for the 360!?

The controls are a bit crappier on the 360 version. I've also heard that it will suffer from screen tearing and slight framedrops.

i've ordered the 360 version, only cos its £10 cheaper for the ltd edition. I was tempted by the ps3 version, simply bcos of the rumour of the hdd install almost completely eliminating load times, but that doesnt seem to have been reflected in many reviews...

It is supposed to completely eliminate loading times. Just wait for an official US review to get more in-depth about it. But no loading times and a few other slight graphical bonuses does not equal paying a $20 premium in Europe. Go with the cheaper 360 version. More money to spend on MGS 4 when it comes out.

I think that goes for about everyone.

The reviewers all said they like the 360's controller better, but DMC just belongs on a sixaxis/dualshock
