About

Players take on the role of Dante as he uses his powers and weaponry to fight against enemies and navigate the treacherous Limbo. Like previous games in the series, Dante can perform combos by attacking with his sword, Rebellion, and shooting with his twin pistols, Ebony and Ivory. New to the series are modifiers to Dante's moveset, known as Angel Mode and Devil Mode, activated by holding down one of the trigger buttons. When in Angel mode, Dante's sword attacks change to the Osiris, a speedy scythe type weapon, whilst Devil mode uses the slower but more powerful Arbiter.

    As with its forebears, DmC's story is mere set dressing, the backdrop to the real star of the show: the combat. This isn't a game of winning alone, but of doing so with panache, of mixing up your use of the numerous tools at your disposal to maximise your style rating in pursuit of a coveted SSS rank. That's more straightforward here by simple virtue of there being more toys than before.

    I should note that additional DLC is on the way, which should provide even more content to an already satisfying game. Devil May Cry has everything a solid action title should have including a responsive and exciting combat system accompanied by great looking visuals and a heavy soundtrack. This game is a great experience so early in 2013 and easy for me to recommend for you to buy.

    This game was a reboot after the DMC 3. It was a good game but they made Dante a little too cocky. The storyline was great with demons pulling the strings in the human world and how they controlled all big corporations and banks and media houses. The gameplay was great giving a little space for exploration unlike other DMC games.
