   "Unforgiving with casuals.
   
   And even with all it's flaws IT'S STILL A 10/10... why don't you try comparing this review with the one I did on DmC? There is no point in doing it, that's why! This is even sicker than the standard edition... pity they didn't listen the community in regards needing more missions with different designs... the positive reviews on this game would skyrocket...… Expand

This special edition marks the first time I've played the series on PC, as my copy of DMC3 for pc straight up did not ever work. It's safe to say this is a better port then that one. I also got it at a very respectable sale price.
   
   While this release suffers from a total lack of mouse support outside of the interface menus, forcing you to juggle between movement, attacking and the camera (though you can fairly safely leave the camera controls alone), the controls are solid, reminding me of nothing if not the PC port of Samurai Warriors 4-II. As for the game itself, if you aren't familiar with Devil May Cry, then this game is a pretty good place to start. Combat pits you against groups of enemies and large, hard-hitting bosses, and is fast and sometimes unforgiving, with a focus on rapidly damaging enemies with varied moves: guns, melee, grabs and the limit-break-like "Devil Trigger" to build up a style combo meter. Taking damage imposes a harsh penalty on this combo, so "high level" play is all about dealing and avoiding damage. I still think the third game is better, but this title offers the greatest variety of playable characters and special modes. It's a shame that half the stages are simply the first half in reverse.
   
   In addition to fighting style-juggling series mainstay Dante and grab-happy newcomer Nero, this release includes Vergil, using an improved version of his moveset from DMC3's special edition. Also included is Trish, playable once again but now with her own unique moveset that evokes the Ifrit and Sparda moves from the first game, as opposed to in 2, where she was simply a reskin of Dante. However, I found Lady, playable here for the first time, the most enjoyable character by far: She uses improved versions of Dante's "gunslinger" moves for her pistols and shotgun, as well as her signature rocket launcher, Kalina Ann, with an expanded moveset from it's appearance in 3.
   
   In addition to the range of difficulty modes for the story mode and the Bloody Palace arena mode, this release includes a "Legendary Dark Knight" mode where the story levels are populated by a much greater number of enemies then there would be normally.
   
   Without the cutscenes the campaign is actually rather short, though the additional difficulty modes and alternate characters offset this to a degree. Still, there are both more varied and longer games out there.
   
   While arguably easier to play on console, this is regardless the most complete version of DMC4 and a good buy for series veterans, newcomers, people without a console and action gamers in general. Plus, the difficulty is a good middle ground between, say, God of War, and Dark Souls, if you were looking for something a little less punishing then the latter.… Expand
