(I have never played the series before this game, so I will not be making comparisons between this and the previous Devil May Cry games.)
DmC: Devil May Cry is another installment in the Devil May Cry series, but this is a reboot of the series. A lot of Devil May Cry fans seem to hate this game, some not even trying it out to even see if it is good. I think it is stupid to not try a game only because you dislike the main character's new design and recommend actually giving the game a chance. The game's story isn't the best written, but for a game like this, I wouldn't expect a really deep storyline. The story is interesting enough, so it may keep you wanting to play. The graphics are pretty decent, in my opinion. I actually thought the game looked very good for the most part. The music is great, but it depends on you'r type of music. It is a combination of metal and techno. The techno music was done by Noisia and the metal is done by the band Combichrist.
The gameplay is quite fun and simple to do, though it can be a challenge for some people (me). You basically have two attacks (light and heavy) and as you play through the story, unlock new weapons. You unlock two angelic weapons and two demon weapons. You also have guns, which you get three different ones. You also gain a couple new abilities as you play through the campaign. The main point of the game is to get high combos and be stylish as you fight enemies. I felt some of the enemies were a little cheap, but that is probably just me. If you plan to play this game, you may want to get an Xbox 360 controller. The game is obviously meant to be played with a controller. You are rated at the end of each level, and then ranked on an online leaderboard. The game starts out with three difficulty modes, though you can unlock two more harder modes.
I didn't have many issues with this game. It isn't the greatest game, but doesn't seem to do a lot wrong. A lot of people mention having glitches and black screen issues. I have only had one issue like this out of the ten hours I played. I did have a tiny bit of slow down during gameplay and cutscenes, occasionally, though I'm assuming that was just my computer. This is a pretty good port to the PC, which is always nice to see since some companies release horrible PC ports.
In the end, I must say that this is a pretty decent game, and people interested in it should give it a chance. If I had to give this game a rating, I'd give it an 8/10.
