Customer Reviews

Fantastic This game has incredible graphics, much better than the Xbox 360 version (especially with DX10 and a good graphics card). I can play in 1600x1200 with all the bells and whistles and antialiasing turned up and i average around 100fps on my 9800GX2 and OC'd Q9450. Gameplay is fast and exciting, with areas designed for a very immersive, cinematic quality. If you like "twitch" games with lots of blod and gore, you'll absolutely love this game. The difficulty seems pretty easy on easy and sufficiently hard on hard. I have had no technical problems at all, nor have I seen any glitches or bugs. The voice acting is good but not great, storyline seems like what we've come to expect with this series which is pretty good. Boss battles are simply epic, using incredibly stylish means to defeat your demonic foes. I highly suggest you take a look at the minimum requirements for this game, as another reviewer made the mistake of buying this game for his woefully inadequate machine. People seem to think that as long as they purchased their computer in the last year, it should be able to run any and every game out there. What they fail to understand is that new games generally require GAMING HARDWARE, which is not in any way the "standard" with $500 Gateway or Dell systems. Those are generally geared towards office applications and web browsing. I can't say enough good things about the graphics, I'm really impressed. Due to the art I think I like it better than Crysis and COD4 combined, graphics wise. The style and technology fuse together to create a true piece of digital art. DMC 4 - Fun, dazzling, brilliant, with a few minor flaws In DMC, combat is incredibly well balanced and challenging. Just rushing into a horde and spamming a basic attack is a quick way to get killed, except on easiest level with automatic combos turned on. Using clever different combos is rewarding and efficient, something that all action games should try to encourage. New difficulties and unlockable level "Bloody Palace" add a lot of unexpected replayability to the otherwise short game. "Legendary Dark Knight" mode is amazing because all encounters have 10-20x the amount of enemies more than usual, a mind-boggling experience. Playing with both characters is very fun and provides you with a ton of options. Depending on which styles you select, the game plays in an entirely different way and Dante with max Swordmaster is far away from Dante with max Royal Guard or some other skills. Puzzles and traps are solid, ranging from fun to "ok", but are never the head-banging variety that makes you want to rip out the DVD and smash it - much appreciated (think Blade of Darkness). Secret Missions are fun (but very hard) and very original subversions - for example, "Nonviolent Resistance" requires you to raise your style meter, which is raised by attacking, without doing any damage. Another mission requires you to protect one enemy from the others. Story is solid, if a bit predictable, but it works. Dialogues are a mixed bag, ranging from subtle and witty hilarious conversations to some corny lines but overall they're great. You might only notice some puns when playing the second time, and references to other works abound. Graphics are beautiful and the game flows smoothly. The game requires a graphics card with minimum 3.0 pixel shader, which can make reasonably new computers need an upgrade. Bosses are incredible both in challenge in originality. The battle against the massive Savior is epic on a level that very few games or movies can ever reach (also see: God of War 2). The big flaw is level repetition. Half of Nero's missions take place in the same area and getting lost happens frequently. When Nero exits the place, he only has a few more original missions before you switch to Dante. But guess what? Dante then backtracks through all the areas you visited as Nero (having only 2 original levels, even if amazing ones). They are changed, providing realism, but it seems this part was just glossed over by the developers. Another flaw is (depending on your view, pun intended) the mammarian syndrome. Characters are beautifully drawn, but female protagonists--- oh gods! It's not the only reason for game's "Mature" rating but it probably played a role. Usually it's just slightly irritating. This game contains SecuROM, the hated security overkill. However! No install limits, data collection, online validations or other terrorist methods. SecuROM consists of a DVD check - you cannot play the game without inserting the DVD first. That kind of mild security is fair. Except for the level blunder and some corny lines/plot twists, DMC 4 is a huge success. Sleek, dazzling and fun, it will provide you with a lot of fun. For trying it out, just as worth it, a demo is available for download at Gamespot. Edit: 65 gameplay hours later - finished 4 difficulties and all of bloody palace (101 level). The game is almost 100% completed, though I still fire it up for a boss fight here and there. why ppl should play more pc games! This game looks awesome. Much better than the 360/ps3 versions. I dont run anything fancy (core 2 duo e4500 2.2ghz and nvidia geforce 8600gt 2gb ram) gand I have smooth frame rates and everything just looks stunning overall at 1440x900. my only complaint is that this game shoulda been released on pc when the 360/ps3 versions were released. anyways, if u have the system to run it, this game is a must buy!
