4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100

After playing the demo of Devil may cry 4 (from now on ill call it dmc4) i was unsure of weather to buy the game or not however the decision of my hands when it was bought for me for my birthday.

After playing the first 10 or so missions as the new character of Nero you become very good at using his abilities most importantly the devil arm which is critical for beating most enemies and defiantly against the games boss which are big set piece fights which can last a while and can frustrate the devil arm is a very useful tool and makes fighting as Nero easy as the player can do big damage to the enemies which the play is up against.However after you are forced to change into playing as the series' poster boy Dante you quickly notice  how important the devil arm is to Nero as in the boss fights and also with some of harder enemies it takes a lot longer to defeat them as you cannot do the high impact damage attacks of Nero.

The game overall is good the problem explained above reduces it to a 4 star rating for me
