You either made it or you missed and had to try again. The first time you played Super Mario Bros., no one told you to look out and jump over that second hole. DMC really reminded me of old school games, where the way you learned a level was by playing it. I found the enemies challenging, the environments and puzzles often took some thought, and I wasn’t always sure what to do.Īll of which I loved. Some people might tell you that the game is too easy well, I am not one of them. Speaking of finishing the game, let’s have a few more confessions: I suck at this game. I ended up on YouTube for hours listening to the soundtrack after I finished the game.
The music was composed by electronic groups Noisia and Combichrist, to give you an idea of what to expect. There is even one level where the music actually becomes part of the level design, but we’ll get to that in a moment. The music was finger-lickin’ good, with the pounding, electro tech music setting the scene of a broken world perfectly. Kudos to this voice cast! SoundtrackĪnother home run for the game was the soundtrack. Everyone’s voice really fit their character, and the banter between Dante and the villains was exciting and fun. With all of the characters, there were no strange pauses, no parts that sounded like someone was reading it, and no overacting. And her voice actress, Sage Mears, played that perfectly. She’s often a companion in the game, but never a burden, which I appreciated. She lacks confidence in herself, yet spends most of the game rescuing Dante. Kat’s character design is a mess (why in the world is she wearing a low-cut hoodie, booty shorts, and thick comfy socks? She looks kray) but her character is compelling in her simultaneous weakness and strength.
Each of the characters had such good voice actors that I actually noticed it. Once in a while, I even laughed at loud at things Dante said.īut it wasn’t just Dante. I didn’t think I would like Dante, but with impeccable comedic timing, Tim Phillipps stole my heart. The characters were both wonderfully compelling and perfectly voiced. In other words, a conspiracy theorist would love this game. The plot has no major surprises, but it is wonderfully tongue-in-cheek as the problems in Dante’s world align with modern issues facing the world today. He is recruited by The Order to take down Mundus, the demon who murdered his mother and imprisoned his father. Dante is the son of Sparda and an angel, making him a Nephilim. PlotĪs this is a reboot of the series, the plot and some details are a little different than the previous series. My first thought was: why go through all the trouble of making Dante pretty if this game is CLEARLY just for the guys, filled with gratuitous T&A?Īnd then we got our Dante T&A scene (yes, I’m calling it that) where he flies through the air and into my pants. It was very graphic and suggestive and stupid. The game begins with a cut scene of Dante enjoying some ladies. Oh yes, won over, because the introduction of the game immediately alienated me. Okay, so in the pictures, he didn’t look that hot, but once I started playing, I was quickly won over by his looks and roguish charm. The new DMC: Devil May Cry was met with trepidation by fans of the series, mostly because Dante is now a smoking-hot emo bro. So if you’re looking for someone to compare the reboot with the old franchise, I’m not the one! So, let me start this review off with a confession: I did not play any of the other Devil May Cry games for longer than an hour each.
