Before I start rating this game, let me first say I got into the games a few months ago after a friend made the suggestion.
I have played the first game, third game and now the fourth game. While I kind of played the second game it was hard to get into.
Overall I would have to say Devil May Cry 4 has been my favorite. It has a lot of the same mechanics as the third game but also some new unique mechanics depending of who you play as. For Dante they included a feature that allows you to change his "style" on the fly from Trickster, Swordmaster, Royal Guard and Gunslinger with the push of a button on the D-pad. They also allowed Dante to use Darkslayer (Vergil's style in the third game) once he had Yamato.
The part of this game I loved most was the new character, Nero. Nero was by far the one of the biggest parts that got me to play this game. Most of the story and gameplay focuses on Nero as the main character and gives him the unique Devil Bringer.
By far one of the greatest stories I've seen in a video game and always keeping you on the edge of your seat. The characters are fleshed out to the point where you can relate to them, their struggles and their emotions. The graphics are fantastic and controls are easy to learn. Ranking up the style gauge is easier in Devil May Cry 4 than it was in the previous games but not brokenly easy. Fantastic game from start to finish. Incredible soundtrack and I kept cranking up the volume just for the music a lot of the time (despite how angry my neighbors at the apartment would get with me).
