Devil May Cry 4 is one of the most flawed games I have ever seen.
It is purdy. Real purdy. But, like Mariah Carey (well, maybe back in the heyday), Capcom knows it. I've never known a game with so many unnecessary, long and protracted cut scenes. Characters are so stylised and textbook "sexy" it's laughable, with most of the well considered and rounded personalities of somewhat peevish potatoes. Which is a shame because at heart this is a really fun, simple fighter puzzle game which struggles slightly to emerge from the unnecessary shiny add-ons.
It is also very short. It has only 20 missions, which I completed in 12 hours. What is really irritating is that you have the first 10 missions as Nero - so far, so good. You then take over as Dante - fine. You then run through the exact same missions again in reverse with a new character. Cheap bastards!!!!
Rent this or wait until it's a bit cheaper. It's fun but really not worth £40.
