I bet there isn't one gamer (either he's an action, strategy or role-playing fan) who hasn't heard of the Devil May Cry franchise. Because Devil May Cry brings pure action to the next-gen console and hardcore gamers have something to toggle with. But, it seems that Capcom decided to make this installment more accessible to the wide audience out there.

Dante's fans might be a bit disappointed to learn that he's not the main hero of the game, as Devil May Cry 4 is a sequel to the original Devil May Cry, at least chronologically.

It seems that Capcom pulled it again, by keeping the gameplay intact and enhancing the story a bit. What can we expect from this title of Devil May Cry? An intriguing story, in-game puzzles, hordes of enemies and great combos.

As the game begins, we are presented Nero, a rebel young man with the looks of Final Fantasy characters. He's assisting a ceremony for the God of Sparda, where the Order of the Sword is worshiping him. Then, Dante drops off the roof and plunges a bullet in the Order's leader head. A great fight is unleashed between Nero and Dante, with Dante fleeing the combat. At this point, Nero is pissed and takes off to find Dante seeking revenge and answers, journey divided into the 20 chapters of the game.

The fight with Dante serves as a tutorial for the basic moves, combos and defense. The great addition of the game is the, get ready… for the Devil Bringer. Yap, who would've thought? This wonderful skill is actually Nero's right arm. Not a regular arm but an enhanced arm capable of mass destruction within enemy lines. When used, the arm extends, unleashing a shadowy blue arm that can grab enemies, smite them into the ground, use them as a shield, even reach out for certain portals that will ensure access to different areas of the game.

Another type of attack is the Red Queen, a special name for a special weapon. The sword : ). The Red Queen does the most damage and various combos can be achieved by pressing short button sequence. I said the sword was a very special weapon because it benefits from a damage boost that can cut mountains in two and split the sea in half. It is called the Exceed system and when fully charged, red fire covers the blade. The Exceed system can be charged up to three levels by pressing the Left Trigger of the controller. Most of the time you're better off without using it, as it takes long to charge and the monsters can be squashed just by using normal attacks.

The last weapon from Nero's arsenal is the Blue Rose. Why do all these names sound so girlish? This is actually a double-barreled gun that can shoot up to 100 bullets per second. Nah, just kidding… or maybe it could… I dunno . The gun doesn't compare with the damage of the sword, but it's useful if you want to keep monsters away as the bullets push them back.

At some point, Nero will unleash the true power of his demonic arm, transforming him into a demon for a short time. While in demon form, the attack damage is greatly increased as well as life regeneration.

You can live longer, if you buy potions that will upgrade your health and magic (Devil Trigger will last longer). Farming for Red Orbs will be something common, a mission or a secret mission will be replayed several times just to buy an upgrade. The fact that quitting the game is possible makes it so much easier; start - kill - quit - start - kill -quit…
