Dante is a cocky half-human who rips apart enemy demons with his bare hands and falls for hot screen-babes like Trish and Lady—what’s not to love? We’re psyched that all three characters return for the fourth installment of this mysterious tale that once again follows the hunters tracking down nasty, renegade demons. For most of the game you play Nero, a young dude who looks eerily similar to Dante, before continuing the story in Dante’s boots.
This brings more depth to the DMC storyline, but Nero is nowhere near as powerful as Dante, so it lowers the series’ usually steep learning curve. But you’d be wise not to discount Nero because he can unleash a
blistering attack—he packs a sword, a gun, and his “Devil Bringer� arm (a glowing appendage that looks ripped from the body of the forsaken)—and he’ll fight towering bosses, like the man-eating plant Echinda and the devil Berial. Oh, and even Dante himself.
Fans should recognize Dante, the silver-haired badass with a million fighting styles. He now comes blazing with three new weapons, including the especially awesome Pandora’s box—a briefcase–cum–machine gun/ laser/rocket launcher/floating missile platform able to fire in all directions.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as a bottle opener.
