DmC: Devil May Cry

No summary available

DmC Definitive Edition's customisation tools that allow the player to tweak gameplay to suit their own style is what makes this an excellent remaster for newcomers and veterans alike.

There is a lot offered in DmC: Devil May Cry. From multi-dimensional characters, a deeper storyline, a revamped and refined battle system, and beautiful art direction; this is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best Devil May Cry to date. Skeptics should abandon their prejudices and give this one a shot. Everyone else should buckle in for one hell of a ride.

Those people who were fearful of Ninja Theory’s new take on the Devil May Cry franchise, like I was, can abandon those feelings now. Despite his new look Dante retains the same attitude of the original character and his ability to perform impressive attacks using various weapons. While the story still remains tawdry its fast dynamic combat is more accessible than other Devil May Cry games. Despite the camera issues and the lack of lock-on mechanic the gameplay is thrilling throughout the game. While Dante’s past adventures have provided hours of entertainment DmC: Devil May Cry has illuminated...

Long-time Devil May Cry fans unsure of Ninja Theory's treatment can abandon their fears. DmC hurls Dante into a newer, better world, complete with a glorious combat system and enough style to make old Dante proud. This is digital action at its finest, steeped in the blood of angels, spiced with gunpowder, and garnished with a middle finger.

You've got to feel for DmC: Devil May Cry developer Ninja Theory. Tasked with the challenge of rebooting Capcom's classic combat series, the Cambridge-based developer has come under fire from franchise fans for its urban redressing of protagonist Dante. Armed with a top of the range faux hawk and a figure hugging sleeveless shirt, the image conscious Son of Sparda has been the focus of a particularly ferocious smear campaign from furious followers of the brand. But while the out of favour star may have lost the campy silver locks of his predecessor, he certainly hasn't shed his chops as a demo...

DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition keeps all the things that made DmC: Devil May Cry great and improves them for the current generations of consoles. While there isn’t a terribly large amount of new content, Ninja Theory’s gritty Universe is excellent enough to warrant a second playthrough.

With all of that said, all I have to say is that DmC turned out well. The gameplay is fun, the soundtrack serves the game well, the levels are interesting and varied, and there’s even a lot of secrets to hunt down after you beat the game. 21 secret missions to complete, 80 lost souls to collect, and seven different difficulty levels to play offers a lot of replayability. It isn’t quite up there with the best hack and slash games, and I still think DMC3 is the best of the series, but if you are a fan of DMC or action games, definitely give it a chance. Just remember to not expect the old Devil ...

Despite some solid game play and storytelling, DMC leaves a "meh" feeling.

Overall if you’ve got the rig and a game controller plugged in then DmC: Devil May Cry is great start to a new direction for the series, and hopefully one that will get to keep exploring this new, grittier Dante.

“Not in a million years!” That's a sentiment that Devil May Cry fans might have cried out when news reached their ears that Ninja Theory had taken over their beloved franchise for a reboot at the behest of Capcom. In DmC, it's a cheeky dig at those very fans and a statement that sends a message, loud and clear. You'll understand what we're talking about once you've completed the first mission in DmC. This is Ninja Theory's rodeo, and this is the UK studio's own version of Dante, whether y...
