Devil May Cry 4

[SKELTON S. SKELETON]

While at first I was a bit hesitant to play this, I'd heard bad things (particularly about Nero) I decided to give the game a try and rented it this week. I was very surprised. It returns to the more gothic castle scenery from Devil May Cry and has some of the creepiest locations in a game. It's a shame that the Devil May Cry games lost a little bit of that 'horror' feel after 2 and 3, but some of it returns in the new one.

Playing as Nero was actually lots of fun, I also found him quite an enjoyable character too. His arrogance is exactly like Ichigo's - and their voiced by the same person too. The Devil Bringer is a welcome addition to the combat.

If you havent played it, spoilers ahead.

Just as soon as I started really getting comfortable with Nero, the game pulled a fast one on me and put me in the zip down leather pants of Dante. The ability to change classes at any time you want is absolutely fantastic. It really adds a whole new layer to the combat. The new weapons are absolutely fantastic, Pandora has got to be one of the coolest weapons in DMC. My most used weapon is Gilgamesh, because I love the Casshern homage. The Dark Slayer style almost makes bossfights too easy.
It's a really great (and one of if not the prettiest action game i've ever played) game. It was also pretty cool they brought back Trish.
