The story doesn’t offer up a whole lot of surprises, but it embraces a certain attitude of self-indulgence. Cutscenes are overwrought, visually stunning affairs, and are among the best you are likely to have seen in any game in recent years. The theatrical dialogue, impossibly athletic animations, and swooping camera work make for quite the spectacle, but somehow, it’s a spectacle that manages to stay on just the right side of cheesy. Devil May Cry 4 takes itself seriously, but not too seriously, so for every shocking, bloody cutaway, there’s an equally funny quip that helps keep the narrative in check. There are a couple of cringeworthy exceptions, such as one scene where Dante decides he’s a tango dancer (don’t quit your day job!), but overall, you’re apt to find the scenes to be gorgeous, thought-provoking, and emotionally stirring.
Loyal fans of the series have followed Dante as he took down demons and an assortment of hell’s minions but in Devil May Cry 4 he takes a supporting role. You see, the game opens in the castle town of Fortuna where devoted followers of Sparda are worshipping in the nearby cathedral. On his way to hear his love interest sing, a handsome young knight that bares a striking resemblance to a certain demon hunter encounters demons and dispatches them with ease. Unfortunately, he arrives just in time to see Dante murder the leader of the congregation as well as other fellow knights. The young knight named Nero faces off against Dante as we wonder why our old hero would do such a thing.
Players assume the role of Nero but before fans start comparing this to Metal Gear Solid 2, Nero proves to be a far more effective and actually very likeable. We also quickly find that his appearance is not the only thing slightly similar to Dante. Nero’s fighting style is somewhat alike with the exception that Nero has a demonic right hand that unleashes a powerful melee blow as well other abilities tied to it. With a fighting style that takes a page from Devil May Cry 3, Nero has gunslinger abilities as well as use his sword in nifty ways. That being said, Nero has personality and gamers will actually likes his story and the characters that surround him.
