Despite its flaws, the game is playable; its safe to say that if you liked any of the previous games, youll enjoy this one. For newcomers, its a mixed bag; while the simplified key combos, relentless combat and tutorial will certainly bring you up...

If you’ve played and liked Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, then you will really have a blast playing through Devil May Cry 4. It is a beautiful game from just about every aspect. The story is well written, the voice acting is done fairly well, and...

Throughout the first half of the game, you play as the newcomer to the series – Nero. Nero’s got the same moves as the series veteran Dante; only he gets to use his Devil Arm or ‘Devil Bringer’ to do everything from slamming the...

Devil May Cry 4 may not be the complete overall title of the DMC franchise but for many PC owners this will be their introduction to the series. What you get is a great title with plenty of action to keep you busy and enough eye candy to melt your...

Looks brilliant on the right hardware, New Legendary difficulty mode, Nero isn't as good as Dante, Lots of...

Plug in your gamepad and brace yourself: Devil May Cry 4 on the PC is every bit the equal of the console versions....

A highly accomplished beat-em-up makes it to PC unscathed. A little exclusive content would have been appreciated but at least the game plays brilliantly. 8.2/10Print this pageUser reviews (0)Share this pageNoticed something wrong? Report...

I can't figure Capcom out. The developer goes to the trouble of bringing one of its console hits to the PC, and then puts out a port that doesn't have anything new or interesting for PC gamers. Sure, it's Devil May Cry 4, and by golly, its...

By Games Radar on July 08, 2008 80

There is a reason we’ve given so much space to this Capcom stunner; something that previously seemed destined to arrive mangled during the trip from console to PC. Amazingly though, Devil May Cry 4 is a slick, PC-enhanced title, not a hastily...

This review will be focusing on what Capcom have done with Devil May Cry 4 on the PC, so for a broader perspective you should check out our Xbox 360 review.Tap into your own rigs demonic powerBe sure to give your visual ambitions a test run firstThe...

International Review By Looki.de on December 03, 2010 86

von Christopher Link Dante und Nero erfreuen sich auch auf dem Rechenknecht an einer grandiosen Qualität - wenn man Devil May Cry 4 auf dem PC spielt, vergisst man für diese Zeit die schlechten bis ganz schlechten Konsolenumsetzungen, die man...

International Review By I Am Gamer on July 27, 2010 86

Devil May Cry war bisher das Actionspielgeschenk von Capcom für die Konsolen. Der dritte Teil wagte es zwar auf den PC, das allerdings knapp ein Jahr nach Erscheinen der Konsolenversion. Mit Devil May Cry 4 versprach Capcom dann endlich eine...

International Review By Digitale-Generation on September 04, 2008 87

Devil May Cry 4 ist schlicht ein erstklassiges Action-Spiel mit Suchtpotenzial. Die Tore zur Hölle stehen offen - Zeit für eine spektakuläre Dämonenjagd. Der neueste Teil wird Serienveteranen und Einsteiger gleichermaßen...

International Review By Gamezoom.net on July 20, 2008 80

Devil May Cry 4 ist ein Vorzeigespiel für das Actiongenre geworden und nur bedingt vergleichbar mit der weniger guten PC-Umsetzung von Teil 3.Selten haben wir eine solch dynamische, actionreiche, imposante und gleichzeitig ausgereifte Inszenierung...
