Gameplay is the most important aspect... The story got a little weird at first (but who the f--k cares?) Because, the Capcom DmC 1,2,3,4 was really confusing about this arroant sonofab--ch Dante just come in, and say, "Hi guys, ur a demon right? Mind if cut your goddamn bones?". Yeah, it's fun you kill alot of demon everyday... :)… Expand

   First off, the movements and the variety of abilities make the gameplay extremely worthwhile and fun to put to use against all enemies. TheFirst off, the movements and the variety of abilities make the gameplay extremely worthwhile and fun to put to use against all enemies. The adrenaline boost when having to constantly dodge then slash and cut up enemies with high speed makes this game compelling and have high replayability. It is fluid and really entertaining especially when you unlock those final abilities that augment their extent of use and power when mercilessly hacking away at all those enemies. I found that the graphics and addicting music very much complement this style of game-play in the best way possible, imbuing nostalgia yet refined entertainment into the overall experience. The portrayal of Dante's personality sets him up to be the badass who indulges in killing off all those enemies with precision and skill, and in the end that's what you'll feel like doing all the time when you are playing: simply wanting to put into motion those sick moves in rapid successions to deliver wrath unlike any other. The story may be lacking in its drive or establishment of dynamic characters but eventually they are effective at inducing that urge to keep killing and getting as strong as possible, since Dante is constantly being challenged and criticized for what he does and has to do. If he becomes skilled enough, no-one will be able to control how he acts or manipulate him for a selfish goal, and you'll strongly want that for him. Hence, this overall aspect from the story compensates for other ones like character portrayal or overarching meaningful themes. The frame rate is even more consistent in this definitive edition and will more than anything contribute to the already exhilarating fighting inherent in good games of this genre but which this game specifically excels at. The weapons can be used in different ways intended to either incapacitate, weaken, or simply to slash at the enemies when needed. A pistol for example can have explosive bullets to help you weaken the enemies and give you more time for other moves. Wielding an ifrit can make it really easily to land compact hits on large enemies, especially due to their devil qualities. Which brings me to the really stellar part of the game-play. Both angel and devil abilities in the game call for incorporation in a useful and precise manner in game-play depending on the time of enemy and the the damage they can deal or the movement they allow. Since alternating between the abilities is extremely quick and easy, the wielding of the two make for a fascinating mix when employed rapidly in intense situations. The action is already enough for you to buy this game, but Devil May Cry is a special package of guaranteed entertainment and well polished game-play and setup. 10/10… Expand

   The definitive edition to the divisive reboot could have easily angered the fanbase more by simply porting the original game to the current gen platform. However Ninja theory decided to listen to some fan feedback and made some technical improvements to the package. The storyline is pretty much the same with the exception of a new cutscene which tries to explain why Vergil killed Lilith and Mundus spawn but the extra cutscene gives little more of a throwaway line than an actual expansion. One thing that I did forget to mention in my last review of when the game first launched was the humor. It is low brow but I would be lying if I said I didn't chuckle with some of new Dante's sarcasm. The social commentary is mixed since it is obvious that it does have a heavy emphasis on liberal ideology but there is also some profound statements as well although they do fall into the trap of being cliched. This game will not only anger fans of the original game but it will also anger those who probably follow on the right side of the political scale (That is not the case for me because I admittedly have a few liberal biases).
   Game Play:
   One of the problems with the first release was that it only ran at 30fps. Thankfully this version of the game has increased to 60 fps which makes the combat far more responsive. They even added a lock on system to make it much easier to hit the enemy that you want to hit. The color coding is no longer required but to maintain your combos but it still shows its presence by hitting the right colored enemy with the right colored weapon though.It should be commened that Ninja thoery tried to fix one of the many complaints but it more like puting on a band aid than an actually lean up. For those who thought the first release was rundown Devil May Cry game this package does contain hardcore mode which does make it feel more like a traditional Devil May Cry experience. Especially on higher difficulties it could create some intense battles which could keep you on the edge of your toes. If you are willing to give the game anther chance it could give you what you are looking for in a mechanic sense, but if you are a purist of the series than the definitive edition will not change your mind.… Expand

Ninja Theory put a lot ofIf it hadn't been for the legacy of the classic series this game would have been a great slasher series on its own. Ninja Theory put a lot of effort into art and gameplay so the game feels and looks interesting enough to return to, especially as a separate experience from the main series.
   With that in mind the weakest part of the game has to be its story still. The plot-points are pretentious and very dull, being on the nose they often make you cringe with how crudely they're put together. It makes for nice set-pieces and very creative visuals despite everything mentioned before. So even if you ignore superior classic DMC lore, it's still a naive tale with very straightforward delivery.
   
   The highlight of the game is it's gameplay, it's more approachable than the main series yet still provides a challenge (granted not nearly as difficult as the main series of course). This re-release also gives smooth 60 fps performance so desperately missing from the original release and the combo style system is stricter, the fighting balance is tweaked, so that it's a bit more difficult than the original game. In general it's a modded PC version which should've been released in the first place.
   
   If you come into this fresh you will enjoy it, but maybe not the story and the writing, if you have already played it you won't find much in it unless you really love the game and/or for some reason haven't played it on PC. If you're a fan of the classic series, try to look at it as a separate experience and you might get into the combat.
   
   Overall, very solid, but the writing is cringe.… Expand
