    While DMC4 offers solid combat, it also offers a lot of pointless walking or jumping around, occasionally in maze-like environments to add to the tedium. I don't mind repeating boss fights, since the bosses are very well done, and the original DMC had prepared me for repeating encounters. However, I don't recall DMC1 diluting its combat sections quite so heavily.

    Pure homerism above. An average game and an average port. I wasn't impressed at all. But if flashiness and combos is all it takes to enthrall the above audience, so be it. People who like more from their games look elsewhere.

    I became so distracted with flustering with the camera controls and the game controls that i've lost all interesting for the plot and game itself.

    Before this game I was read-only (watch-only, to be precise: anime, cut-scenes from previous parts and so on) fan of this universe. And I'm definitely glad, that my close relationship with it begun due to this game. The setting ranges from pretty good to awesome, except, maybe, sewers, that part was just strange. The music is quite good, the fighting tense but passable, and the Dante...

    Devil May Cry 4 may seem interesting at start, but the puzzles and repetitive game play just killed it for me. Nevertheless, graphics is definitely commendable for a game released in 2008.

    3. oyundaki o havalı aksiyonun %1'i falan buraya sıçramış onu da geri alsa pek bir şey kalmayacak gibi. Onun haricinde oynanış çok iyi.

    Not many things to say. Just writing to fulfill the 75 characters requirement.

    La raison principale pour laquelle je ne recommande pas c'est la CAMERA :
    on est sur des plans fixes plus de la moitié du temps mais avec changements d'angles automatiques pendant que l'on se déplace sur la map. On suit le perso tranquillement et pouf, contre-champ, zoom et autres joyeusetés qui combinés avec des environnements exigus, nous font perdre tout repère.

    on est sur des plans fixes plus de la moitié du temps mais avec changements d'angles automatiques pendant que l'on se déplace sur la map. On suit le perso tranquillement et pouf, contre-champ, zoom et autres joyeusetés qui combinés avec des environnements exigus, nous font perdre tout repère. Même après plusieurs dizaines d'heures de jeu je me fait encore avoir. On en arrive à des situation ou l'on appuie pour se déplacer en avant, mais le perso se déplace en arrière vers la caméra, en + d'être contre intuitif, on ne voit pas où l'on va.
    Certains combos se font en orientant le stick vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière par rapport à l'ennemi, pas pratique quand on est entouré de plusieurs ennemis sans savoir lequel on vise.
    Autres points négatifs : -Le recyclage des maps
    -Les niveaux de difficultés qui nous obligent à refaire plusieurs fois le jeu (gagner en difficulté suppérieure ne compte pas les difficultés inférieures comme "terminées")
    -Pratiquement pas de changement dans les dialogues et cutscenes lorsque l'on choisit un perso autre que Nero/Dante (persos qui ne sont pas développés non plus, si vous ne les connaissez pas ben tant pis pour vous)
    -Progression des persos très limité

    Malgré ces défauts ça reste assez sympa de taper sur des hordes d'ennemis avec son perso favori, nul doute que cela plaira aux fans de la série, pour les autres, passez votre chemin.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A classic in my eyes but it really looks like they had little to no time to make this game so they recycle all the stages that you went through with Nero and make you do them all over with Dante i didn't mind it that much back then… Expand

    A port that doesn't have anything new or interesting for PC gamers. Sure, it's Devil May Cry 4, and by golly, its enhanced high-res visuals sure look swell. But if you're going to port a game to the PC, you should take advantage of the most versatile platform out there. DMC4 fails to do so.

    Its story, while not being complicated or particularly mysterious, remains fun and interesting enough to see you through to the end, which is saying something because it isn't what many would consider to be a short game. What Capcom has produced isn't the pinnacle of console-to-PC quality, but it isn't anything to be laughed at either.

    Devil May Cry 4 may not be a very subtle game, but it sure is a lot of fun. Ripping whole armies of demons to shreds at breathtaking speed or watching a mighty end boss giving kudos to you in "over the top" cut scenes - things like these create that special feeling of power. There are some weak spots like (levels are re-used, a few annoying mini games and riddles), but action fans should give it a go anyway.
