What's Hot: New character; Terrific graphics; Slicing/shooting your way through gangs of weird-looking bad guys = still fun.
What's Not: New character bears uncanny resemblance to Dante; Meandering level design will leave you lost and frustrated (despite the new -- and mostly useless -- map system); Crap writing; Some boss battles are duds.

Status: Coffee makes me feel 4-percent sexier.
Let's see...there was that on-fire horse-devil thing...that evil frog with cavorting lesbians for antennae...that snake-like thing in the jungle that flies around. None of them display much personality. Worse still, with the exception of the game's final boss battle, most simply rolled over with their high-definition asses in the air.
Devil May Cry 4, in the end, fails to evolve the franchise in any notable way. If you liked the previous games, no doubt you'll like this one. Just don't expect to remember much of it once the credits roll.
This review was based on a gold build of the game provided by the publisher.
