Not so, the folks over at Capcom made the controls smooth as butter. Now, I’m sure some of you are thinking that with all the swords, and guns, and “devil bringing” going on in this game that you are sure to get a little bit confused. The other nice thing is that it will also allow for you to grab power-ups that could be otherwise unattainable. Of course the Dev’s at Capcom couldn’t just give Nero a sword and a gun, but he had to have something special, and that is his “Devil Bringer.” Essentially his right arm is possessed by demonic energy and it enables him to stretch great distances and grab his foes, smash them into the ground, or just toss them around like they were nothing at all. Armed with a motorcycle throttle attached sword called “Red Queen” and a double-barreled gun named “Blue Rose” Nero can kill demons just as good as Dante ever could. After a fight between Dante and Nero, (which also serves as the tutorial for new comers) Dante escapes, and the Order puts Nero in charge of tracking him down.įor the most part Nero does a great job filling in for Dante. That is until Dante interrupts one of their morning worships by in typical Dante fashion, that is to say “very smoothly” puts a bullet into the head of the high priest Sanctus. The Order of the Sword pretty much runs the town of Fortuna, where the game takes place. Nero is part of the Order of the Sword, a religious group that worships Dante’s father Sparda. Who not only bears a strikingly similar resemblance to the series hero, but also uses a sword and gun just like him too. Which I find a little odd because the name of Dante’s demon hunting business is “Devil May Cry” (Side note: if you are new to the franchise play DMC 3 to find out how it gets that name) but instead this story belongs to Nero. I must say that any fan of this series is not going to be disappointed, and to you new comers, you are in for one hell of a game too!!ĭevil May Cry 4, (I will be calling it “DMC” from now on) is not the story of Dante, son of the legendary Dark Knight Sparda.

After all the YouTube videos, and playable demos, and show coverage it’s time to put Capcom’s latest devil hunting game through its paces.
