It takes the greatest pleasure in how over-the-top it can be, and that's just a part of what makes it such outright fun. The big difference between these and other JRPGs has always been how the DMC games have given us a wink and a nudge to say that they realise how silly they are - and DMC4 takes this up to amorphous out-of-this-world barmy.
The point of these games has always been to chop and slash your way through hordes of monstrosities, interspersed with cutscenes of classic Japanese anime stupidity. DMC4 is ridiculous, enjoyable and uplifting unlike any other title.įor those new to the series, in the past titles you've played as silver-haired smart-arse Dante, the son of the famous goodly demon Sparda who rebelled against his own army to save humanity, but now you control another chap called Nero. This means the game looks great, it's graphically scaleable, you can use a keyboard to play it and, to top it off, it plays like the entire PC development team was briefed with a PowerPoint presentation with the title "Hell Yeah!" while drinking Red Bull and listening to Nine Inch Nails' 'The Perfect Drug'.
Amazingly though, Devil May Cry 4 is a slick, PC-enhanced title, not a hastily shoe-horned mess. There Is a reason we've given so much space to this Capconi stunner something that previously seemed destined to arrive mangled during the trip from console to PC.
