DmC: Devil May Cry

Hello there, I'm Accel and this is my reviews on the new Devil May Cry or also known as DmC. This is the 5th installment of this series and Dante has a new haircut. This game is developed by Ninja Theory and Published by Capcom. This game released worldwide on 15 January 2013 for the consoled version and
25 January 2013 on pc.

I’ve been a fan of the Devil May Cry series since the beginning, and I don’t care that Dante doesn’t have white hair, or that his origin story has been retooled for this entry. I don’t even care that he’s fighting the demon king Mundus again; altering and revisiting key elements are expected in any reboot. Regardless of how characters and events change, Ninja Theory stays faithful to the heart and soul of the series with this reimagining – and that’s what matters.

While these all may appear to be valid concerns for any fan cautious of someone messing with a much-loved franchise, I can tell you that DmC – Devil May Cry -- gives you all the ball-breaking, nut-busting, finger-snapping(I mean that if you trying to play it with a keyboard), eye-popping and ridiculously over-the-top action you could ask for. Better yet, Ninja Theory beautifully compliments it with spectacular motion-capture, a vibrant colour palate, insane old-school bosses, a smart-arse protagonist and some of the coolest level designs I’ve ever seen.

I’m impressed by the sheer variety of Dante’s moveset. Three guns, two angelic weapons, two demonic weapons, and one sword have unique abilities that you purchase. Also you can refund any spent points at no cost, encouraging you to experiment with the possibilities. Thankfully, you get the grappling powers for free, and they add mobility to the battlefield in ways that combine the concepts behind Nero’s Devil Bringer and Vergil’s teleportation from previous installments.

DMC has never been very big on story or characters. Players pick up this game to slice their way through the forces of hell in the most stylish and visually stunning way possible, and here, DmC succeeds with calm.This is the first game that Ninja Theory has produced where it can be said the mechanics are as compelling as the visuals they come packaged with. Like Dante, DmC isn't perfect and it's occasionally frustrating, but it's always appealing and it demands your attention. And damned if its not always look cool.

So I would give this game a 8 out of 10 . So what about you guys, what do you guys think. Why don't you share your thoughts in the comment section down below.
