Devil May Cry 4 does redeem itself somewhat, not only with the combat techniques of both Nero and Dante, but with some extraordinary CGI cut scenes. The scenes that appear at the start and end of each mission are truly cinematic and help push the story along with the right amount of action and storytelling; not to mention its nice to play a game where you can actually sit back and watch a cut scene without having to press a button sequence to get through it, as opposed to the recent trend.

With about twelve hours of gameplay for the average gamer on the easiest setting, there are plenty of things to do to keep you busy as you play through the campaign. Each level has a secret mission that can be found somewhere within it to garner you some extra rewards if the task presented is completed and once the game is completed, there are other modes that become unlocked to give those who are truly fast fingered a chance to take on tougher challenges.

Even with its repetitiveness and awkward camera angles, Devil May Cry 4 provides a solid addition to the series and even towards the end, with its descent into a puddle of annoyance, the game features some exceptional gameplay and cinematics. It's not perfect, but well worth recommending.
