Description of the game: Devil may cry 4 is the fourth instalment of the devil may cry series. The first devil may cry game was available in Sony Playstation 2. The plot setting for devil may cry 4 was set after devil may cry and before devil may cry 2. The story is about Nero, a new character in the devil may cry series, fighting off the demons and an evil high priest to save a girl who has been manipulated by the high priest.
Game play: Devil may cry 4 game play was similar to the other devil may cry series whereby the players have to fight through missions and occasionally solving puzzles. The players have to play as 2 characters in the game. The players plays Nero throughout most in the game with Nero’s Red Queen sword, Blue rose revolver and his demonic arm. Nero’s demonic arm has many different attacks. His arm is able to pull himself towards his enemies or vice versa. The demonic arm can also used for throws and grapples which deals high damage and various effects depending on the enemy.
The second character that the players gets to play is Dante, the main character of the devil may cry series. Dante have five fighting styles which are: Trickster, Gunslinger, Sword master, Royal guard and Dark slayer. These 5 styles grant him different abilities and the player may now switch Dante’s fighting styles anytime with buttons or pads on the PlayStation 3 controller or the Xbox 360 controller unlike in devil may cry 3.
Graphics: There is a slight difference in graphics between the cut scenes and the game. The graphics for both the cut scenes and the gameplay were very realistic
Sound: The sound quality of the game is very good. Not only there is background music, there are also sound effects for gun shots, sword slashing and also the character’s voice.
Below are the videos for both the Cut scenes and the gameplay.

Conclusion: Overall, I think this game is wonderful. The storyline, graphics and sound are good. I hope CAPCOM will continue with devil may cry and produce a fifth instalment.
