   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is awesome, one of the few I have played through to the end. The PC port is awesome although, I wouldn't know if it is better on any other system. As far as game play, I prefer this over DMC3, simply because this one allows you to play as both Nero and Dante, and that when you get to Dante you can switch styles at will. The biggest minus for me was the backtracking. Dante did offer fresh new funny awesomeness, but its still backtracking just the same, the bosses don't change so you can beat them all first go with Dante.… Expand

   While DMC4 offers solid combat, it also offers a lot of pointless walking or jumping around, occasionally in maze-like environments to add to the tedium. I don't mind repeating boss fights, since the bosses are very well done, and the original DMC had prepared me for repeating encounters. However, I don't recall DMC1 diluting its combat sections quite so heavily. I suppose I am disappointed that, 3 games on, the game hasn't actually improved overall. Good, but not great.… Expand

   The PC version of this game is terrible. With awful graphical issues as well as terrible resolutions and aspect ratios, I never thought that I would say the console versions are superior.
   My review of the console versions follow. Unlike it's incredibly exciting and stylish predecessor, Devil May Cry 4 feels like a boring chore. I'll admit, the combat is incredible... only when you posses the character Dante. Other wise you play as the incredibly uninteresting and unexplained Nero who has your typical hack n' slash move set. With Nero, you can button mash your way through the first sets of levels. Compared to Dante, Nero has a underwhelming move set. Although, unlike Dante, Nero has Devil Bringer. As you can guess, it brings enemies closer to him for some interesting aerial maneuvers, but not enough to keep you interested. As for Dante, this is where the game shines. Luckily, they removed the feature from Devil May Cry 3 in which you are forced into picking one Style for the mission. Now, you can switch instantly with the d-pad, and can pull of some sick combos. Unfortunately, you are only backtracking through Nero's levels, which gets really repetitive. However, this game has some of the best boss battles in the series, as well as the toughest. Berial was interesting, but the best ones were Credo and The Savior. Credo in particular. Sadly, with an awful story line, the game doesn't convey enough emotion for me to care about most of these characters, and the boss battles I'm fighting. While in Devil May Cry 3, I actually felt like the dual between Dante and Vergil was important, and I wanted to beat it. The puzzles in this game are very simple, and feel like pointless padding. Especially since the focus is combat, where this game succeeds. I'd talk about the story, but it's virtually non-existent. Overall, it's a very underwhelming title in the series, considering that it only gets somewhat good half way through the game. Not worth it. Mediocre. Collapse… Expand
