Yet passed the extreme makeover of the main character, you end up finding the essence of the game that made the heyday of the PS2.
Side scenario, the young Dante is facing Mundus, a kind of multinational boss whose wealth and power gives him the status of master of the world. Exasperated at the highest point in the very existence of our young hero, fruit of the forbidden love between an angel and a demon, the villain of the piece will do everything to find him and to kill him Everything is served by corrosive dialogues, humorous and cynicism. Add it to a bit of nudity, vulgarity, provocation and you get the new narrative style "Bad boy" Devil May Cry less complex and lighter than in previous episodes ...
Graphically, the game eyeful with more ugly monsters than each other, a variety of eye-catching styles and atmosphere of doom when the surface of the earth collapses from side to side before falling into the limbo. We can issue only a slight criticism of hyper colorful hues and saturated some environments and poverty of some scenery especially during the cutscenes but nothing very serious.
The gameplay level, the basic formulas return: complete and varied arsenal to Dante that has ranged weapons (3, including the famous guns Ebony and Ivory) or mixed (5 different) with angelic or demonic powers to trigger depending on the situation. All this allows to live frenzied fighting and performing figures of style as impressive visually formidable air combos on final boss level that make the size of a property The switch between weapons, the passage of the attack scrum to attack distance and target lock require some practice but once mastered, they make fights as pleasurable as spectacular.
For the rest, there are the collectibles, style notes at the end of each level, upgrades of weapons and techniques, items to buy. The game includes 20 levels (about 10 hours of play to the basic mode), 21 secret missions and 7 levels of difficulty to unlock as other things (which suits the original look of Dante, concept art, etc ..,)
In short, DmC is a globally successful game and already ranks as one of the best titles of the PS3 Hack'n'Slash and is an excellent outlet for anyone who loves to slaughter the demon in the chain on the metal music!
