GameSpot reviews Devil May Cry 4

The newest entry in the revered series features plenty of awesome action, a great new character… and a bit of repetition.

The Good
- Extraordinary action sequences highlighted by smooth controls and slick animations.
- Nero is a great new character with some terrific new moves.
- Beautiful visuals and incredible cutscenes will constantly amaze you.
- Boss characters are designed well and fun to fight.

The Bad
- Environments and boss fights are repeated far too often.
- Puzzles and platforming aren't much fun and chop up the pace too much.

Solid review that hopefully is a sign of things to come for Gamespot after their "issues" of late.

If the boss's are designed well and fun to fight then I don't see the problem with repeating boss fights.

[likeaboss302]

Well fun to fight the first time. I've never been one to play boss fights over and over for fun. I guess to each their own.

What a joke..

"its the best game ever but we don't like the way they displayed the ending credits... 7/10"

The "repetitive environement" & "sucky puzzles" critics could be applied to gaiden sigma and yet that game got 9/10. (its worthy of a 9/10 tho)

Gamespot has no consistency, thats a shame.

Nah dude, they got it right this time, this game isn't that good, I just got done playing it last night actually. They are right about the repetition, it gets old fast. I think Ninja Gaiden 2 will definitely be better.

quit crying.

Well deserved score.

[actas123]

Thats the same score they gave uncharted.

I think an 8 for this game is about right..

[IGNFTW]

AND I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IT DESERVES A 7/10.TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT,IT HAS ACCEPTABLE NEXT GEN VISUALS(IT LOOKS LIKE LOST ODYSSEY) WITH OK-ISH LAST-GEN GAMEPLAY MECHANICS.

I THINK CAPCOM MADE DM4 ON THE PS2 FIRST,THEN SHIFTED IT TO THE PS3 AND 360,BECAUSE THE GAME JUST ISN'T THAT GOOD GIVEN TODAYS HARDWARE.WITH THE GRAPHICAL AND CPU POWER OF THE PS3 AND 360,THE LEAST THEY COULD HAVE DONE IS MAKE THE GAME LOOK AND FEEL REALISTIC,YES,THE MODELS ARE DETAILED,BUT YOU ALWAYS GET THE FEELING THAT YOU'RE PLAYING A 'CARTOONY' GAME...

MEH,IN SHORT,I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GOD OF WAR 3 AND NINJA GAIDEN 2.

Haven't been to gamespot since the "incident" & the recent round of resignations is a bad sign as well.

i've been playing since 5pm and i'm still not very far... i suck, but it's fun

It seems you wrote a half decent review here. But since you typed it all in caps your credibility went down the hole. Guess you'll have that one bubble just a little longer.

[picker332]

Lol?
Last night?

Do you like play a game until it's dune?(No resting time at all)?
Becouse the release date was like 06 or?
Well then No wonder it gets repetitive if you play it through that fast with no break once in a while!

It goes for all the games out there.

Gamespot made a bad mistake when they decided to only put scores ending with a 0 or 5
