Devil May Cry 4
on Xbox 360
Certificate: 
The 4th in the series has a lot to live up to from previous games, but it defintely delivers. Starting off as Nero the game introduces you to the basic combat system of DMC and the early missions provide a training ground for you to develop your skills; the learning curve isn't too sharp but the combat can be as complex as you like making it ideal for newer players or hardened veterans of the series. Around mission 12 Dante (the series' hero) becomes available as a playable character and has four distinct fighting styles for a massively diverse style of play. The graphics, music and gameplay are all fantastic and will keep you playing 'til the end and beyond, with the games increasingly hard difficulty settings. The only reason the game doesn't get 5 stars, in my opinion, is that the second half feels a bit cheap. Dante doesn't really get any missions of his own and only gets to replay Nero's missions but in reverse. Don't let that put you off though, DMC is a must play for Xbox360 and PS3 owners alike!
