Capcom goes out of their way to drop in another great addition to the Devil May Cry series. If you are looking for a great game that isn’t a shooter, this is it. It reminded me of Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox, but with next generation graphics. While parts of the game are a little slow, most of it is full of non stop action and combo moves.

Overall: 8.7
Presentation: 8.5

Graphics: 9.5

This game has some of the best opening scene graphics that I have seen yet. But the graphics don’t stop there. Capcom continues to put down great graphics throughout the game, both in the cut scenes and in the gameplay.

Sound: 9

The opening scene has an excellent sound track. It really helps set the mode for the game. The music continues through the game.

Gameplay: 9

While the game is full of hard hitting combo moves, it doesn’t require learning a lot of multi button sequences. Most of the combo moves depend on the rhythm of when you press the attack buttons, making it easier to jump right into the action. Some of the camera angles can get weird at times, but the developers used this to hide some of the goodies that you have to find throughout the game.

Replay Value: 7.5

If it wasn’t for the time that it takes to fully enjoy the game, I would classify this as a rental for most people. There are two levels of difficulty, Human and Devil Hunter, Human being really too easy, but a great way to learn upgrading you character, and Devil Hunter being very difficult later in the game. But once the game is beat, their really isn’t much else to do but go through it again.
