    Having played all of the Devil May Cry games, I played this game with high expectations and, even though it is a reboot, it continuously met those expectations.

I liked the new twist on the origin story of the twins. I didn't like Dante's new character design but Ninja Theory had the option to make him look like DMC3 Dante so I give them a pass on that. The graphics were amazing in my opinion and I wish I could play the previous games with this kind of quality(but I would much rather have a DMC5).

    The combat system was nice, not too easy, but still had the combos from previous games so you could really get points in style. The level designs were nice as well, with each level bringing a new challenge to it. None of the levels felt too long nor too short. They included many difficulty levels so it doesn't matter if you're new to the franchise or a veteran, you can play and feel challenged.

    In terms of the characters, I felt they got closer to Dante than Vergil and felt that Dante had some great one-liners like he did in DMC3. I wish that Vergil had done more than just stay behind the scenes but the game did explain why he wasn't out fighting so, meh.

    Overall, this game is a wonderful reboot of the original series. The characters may be a little off but this wasn't Capcom's baby so I expected them to be. Levels are interesting as well as the story and the multitude of weapons you have at your disposal are great for the players going for style points. Overall, a great game for just about anyone so long as you have an open mind.    … Expand

    First of all, DmC looks rather great for an Unreal Engine 3 title, featuring lots of colorful, detailed, well crafted environments and levels. Character design was done well too. Combat felt satisfying, with lots of combos to unlock and learn. There's also light platforming involved. Some of the boss fights were nice, while some were either irritating or too easy even for me. I wasnt the biggest fan of Dante himself though, he was way too cocky and juvenile even by my standards to the point where his character can come off as cheap. Then again i'm not familiar with the classic Dante, so i cant be the supreme judge here. Story was alright for what it tried to do, the whole trapped in the limbo concept and brain washing of masses themes were enticing. But good lord the writing of the dialogue in this game can become laughlably bad to the point where it significantly and negatively impacts the overall enjoyment and quality of the DmC experience.

    I've noticed that this game has gotten quite a bit of hate from fans of the classic Devil May Cry games, so i'm not sure if they would enjoy this title, but for those who havent played older games like me, maybe give it a try, while the writing may make you cringe and wonder how much lower the barrier for AAA game writing can be set, the gameplay is still rather solid, making up for a pretty decent hack & slasher.    … Expand

    TODO en este juego es una maravilla, exceptuando un par de detalles. Primero, la personalidad de Vergil y Dante. Si bien ninguno de los 2 son exactamnte iguales a lo que eran en las entregas anteriores en cuanto a fisico, esto no es tan relevante... Pero no se puede perdonar que les hayan cambiado tanto la personalidad. Por ejemplo, Dante pasó de ser un carismático a ser un amargado y agresivo. Vergil pasó de ser un tipo serio e inteligente a ser un estúpido que poco le falta para parecer gay.

    Si bien la personalidad de estos 2 personajes cambió drásticamente, en cuanto a historia es el mejor devil may cry, y en cuanto a jugabilidad tambien lo es, por lo que es completamente injusto ponerle una nota baja siendo que representa tan pero tan bien sus generos.
    Es un juegazo en todos sus aspectos, el odio viene del lado de la gente que está enamorada de dante o vergil, de aquellas personas que no pueden aceptar que los personajes cambien. Para toda esta gente solo tengo algo que decir... "No sean idiotas. En este juego Dante y Vergil son jovenes, son imprudentes, son idiotas, son inmaduros. Ambos tienen que aprender y mejorar. Muy posiblemente por no decir SEGURO, si la gente no hubiera sido tan llorona, habrian sacado DMC 2 y este juego sería un par de años despues, con la personalidad de dante carismático y vergil serio. Los personajes tienen que crecer, pues DMC muestra devil may cry desde sus inicios":    … Expand

    finish the game this morning and i have to do this review.
    i played atleast all DMC games but never finish 1 and 2 since its been age.i might reconsider it but thats not the point here.DmC or Devil may Cry Reboot is not a bad counterpart to the series.its good?its bad then? no its just decent and way shorter to any DMC qualities.
    the combat in this game is a charm.i would love to see    finish the game this morning and i have to do this review.

    the combat in this game is a charm.i would love to see another game uses the same combat and combo mechanism.weapons plays like the original DMC games.similar moveset with a little revamp.

    the graphic is ok.hate that almost everything in this game has reflections.

    the new dante is not as bad as anyone can imagine.he was annoying at first but play the whole game and you'll find out his inner behavior.he is not a badass looking like the dante we've cared for years but this dude has a potential.give him a chance.seriously but the vergil here is a big mistake and i wont tell you why.

    the only mistake i can only see here is the series is not ready to be rebooted yet.it might a sure go to gamer if its a new ip but its already happend.shame

    overall this game is amazing.
    i've honestly watch AngryJoe's review on this game.but even he pointed every mistake on this game.
    that doesn't stop me to try and judge the game myself.the PC is well optimize game aswell!even old potato setup can run the game atleast at 720p with zero issue.

    Final score will be 9.

    TBH, I'm only giving it an 7 instead of 6 because of my hatred for DMC4's design.
    But, DMC3 is still my fav.
    Anyway lets rep this up. Story : while DMC doesn't need a good story to tell it's tail about Dante, it needs to make you feel stylish while playing as the main character. And without getting into to much digging, Dante simply doesn't work here. He simply **** all over the    TBH, I'm only giving it an 7 instead of 6 because of my hatred for DMC4's design.
    But, DMC3 is still my fav.

    Anyway lets rep this up.

    Story : while DMC doesn't need a good story to tell it's tail about Dante, it needs to make you feel stylish while playing as the main character.
    And without getting into to much digging, Dante simply doesn't work here. He simply **** all over the old Dante and acts pretty much like that **** bad boy that gets the hot thots in a night club.
    Vergil is a like "nice guy" that cares about humanity but at the end, he is as much as the main villain (spoiler, it's not that shocking).
    Nonetheless, the bosses attitude is fine and kat is just a typcial cute girl that just so happens to be attracted to you favorite **** potty mouth, Dante.
    No need to say more, yes ?

    Gameplay (controls) : This is the main problem for old DMC fans which I , myself , have.
    The controls for the reboot DMC are completely different from the original. from core mechanic such as lock-on to executing high-time having it's own dedicated button.
    However, this does not mean the controls "suck". DmC actually provides a lot of features old DMC games didn't have or simply didn't implemented well *AHEM* DANTE SUCKS IN DMC4 *AHEM* :
    1, Dedicated dodge button both on ground and air (f*ckin' finally)
    2.Jump cancel is now useful again (yea it's OP than DMC3 JC, but not completely useless as DMC4 JC)
    3.Weapons are fantastic to use and looking good. However, higher difficulties require you to kill enemies with only specifc weapons (only in the OG version sadly)
    4.most input is easy to execute and useful (AHEM, unlike DMC4's Dante)
    5.Devil trigger is OP, and makes enemies float in air for free hits. again only in OG version.
    Overall, Combat is easy to learn for newcomers. For old DMC fans it's like a learning curve sadly. But still, it's fun as hell to get the SSS rank.
    6.main pulling functions (fetch, and )
    Gameplay (enemies & bosses ) :
    To sum up the bosses , their good , but nothing special compared to 3 and 4. They feature scripted cutscenes with is negative for a DMC game. but nonetheless, their good for the most part.
    Enemies on the other hand can be summed up like this
    1.regular enemies are fun to combo
    2.Saw-guy is fun when he stops his **** move with his super armor (but not as annoying as the enemies from DMC4)
    3.Flying babies are annoying to kill because there's no lock-on feature, but fair enough because their easy to kill.
    4.Witches are ok. Hard but not ****.
    5.Teleporting dudes are hard, but not **** like f*cking Blitz from DMC4.
    6.The rest that I can remember are ok.
    7.You can combo most enemies to death, which is fun ... unlike in DMC4 which excepts you to be an professional gamer (sorry, I just really hate that game).

    Music :
    Every DMC game needs a good soundtrack to make you feel like a badass fighting against demons and this game is no exception,
    As a reboot, the new music genre used for this game fits perfectly. Well done Ninja Theory.

    Summary :
    This is a good game. It's just a shame that the story behind the development of this product went into so much chaos because of game journalists and angry DMC fanboys.
    I may have not liked the game, but I know a good game when I play one.
    Give it a shot newcomers, and while your at it.
    Try DMC3 as well.
    Uh , and DMC4:SE , forget about it. That game needs to die along with it's die hard DMC fanboys who think it's better than 3 (gameplay wise)    … Expand

But let's be honest, scenario never was the strongest part of DMC series. Nevertheless, previous parts had a great emotional component and physical insanity. I mean, crazy tricks and moves, etc. DMC: Devil may cry lacks both of them. Maybe i'm relying on the music too much when i'm thinking of this game, but still, it is a great part of the DMC experience. I hope that capcom would combine these stories in some kind of weird multiverse, because why not? After all, they're japanese! :D… Expand
