The devil almost cried

After playing God of War 2, The only games I loved playing were sports games, fighting games and the God of War clones. Devil May Cry 4 does not fall to any of the three categories. Yet, I still liked it.
Like God of War, this is a fun action game. And, like other games, it also has some flaws. The biggest one, I might say, is the camera control. The game is linear. It is almost impossible to get lost. There are also a lot of times wherein the camera is fixed making the right analog stick useless.
In addition to the camera problems, the characters can only perform a side roll. Since the camera is not really very good, sometimes I find myself jumping instead of side rolling, it is because my character's back was not facing the camera. If they were making the camera fixed with almost half of the game, and since it is a linear game, they should have made the game camera fixed the entire game and should have made the right analog stick be the evade controls.
Boss battles are intense. Although it may be repetitive (yes, the boss battles not just the regular enemies), it is still fun. The combat is still very deep and has a lot of upgrades. There are also puzzles included but it will not be too interesting and may even get you frustrated. The performance of the voice actors are solid as well. So even though the story is a bit average, The performance of the actors will be enough to give a good presentation.
The only major trouble I had with this game is the controls. If they made the controls like God of War 2, then it might fall into the God of War clones genre. But then, I would love it a lot more.
