Devil May Cry 4 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Right off the bat let me tell you that I have enjoyed the first 3 DMC games. Even pulling my hair out in 3. DMC 4 could have been so much better but it comes up woefuly short in many areas.

First the good. The Graphics and cut scenes are of course top notch. Mostly smooth and flowing with very few visual glitches. The music and sound is also pretty fitting. I enjoyed the goth/metal bands playing during my fight scenes. The combat was also well done. But come on they've had 4 trys to get it right so it should be pretty good.

Now the bad. The story overall is shallow and predictable. The character dialog and voice acting is laughable in some areas. ( with the exception of Dante who is always smooth...if a bit cheasy).

The Level design is deplorable. Most of the time is spent backtracking trough empty areas trying to move to the next path.

The Guns are next to useless for the majority of the game. With the exception of Pandora of course.

Why did I have to fight the same 3 bosses 9 times???? Are you serious? Berial again....

I played through on demon hunter difficulty my first playthrough and let me tell you it was incredibly hard to defeat the bosses. If you can one shot a boss I give you credit because most of the time it was like 7-10 takes before I would get it right.

I know I'm in the minority here but this game simply wasn't as good as its hype. Better than alot of the drivel we've been seeing but hardly a groundbreaker.

but I thought the camera angles killed it, they kept screwing me over, plus the campaign was odd, because it never told you where to go in the level.

I though it was good but only a 4 rating.
