Here we are people. It’s 2013 and one of the earliest games to hit some of our gaming collection is none other than a reboot of the Devil May Cry series. People know the series to be incredibly fun for it’s “crazy, stylish action” and Dante’s one-liners. Oh and if you pay attention hard enough, there is a story involved.

People have expressed concern over this game for a variety of reasons. Dante’s new look, Ninja Theory having a hand in it, it’s too easy to get S ranks, you name it. While it’s definitely easier to get S ranks at certain parts, it’s by no means always easy to do. If you’re going for that SSS rank, you have quite a bit of work to do on demons to achieve that. This game has a huge focus on the combat because once you acquire each of your weapons, you can swap between all of them on the fly. Basically, in short, if you pass up on this game, it’s a mistake. The game is by no means perfect, but denying yourself the chance to at least try this latest entry seems like a bad idea.

This is the old look. This is now in the past. Get over it.

So far, I’m on Mission 9 of the game. A bit over a third of the way in, I’m having fun. My only concerns thus far as with some of the one-liners used and one scene in the game that is probably one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in a video game. So far, so good. I’ve been keeping it stylish and genuinely having fun with the game. It was the perfect candidate for episode II of MaxAttack. I’d tell you, but the point of a video is to show you. This is the intro to said video, so what are you waiting for? Check it out and see if this is the game for you!
