Coincidentally, I'm in the process of playing this game right now after two of my friends insisted that I buy it. (They're both playing it on PC and the keyboard controls are hilariously awful.) I'm enjoying DMC4 enough to be initially surprised by the 7/10 rating, but this review did an excellent job clearing that up by bringing up late-game nuisances (which I haven't gotten to yet) and comparing it to the other DMC games (which I have virtually no experience with). Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to this boss rush level you refer to.

haha, thanks for the compliments. I'm surpised you read it the whole way through, it's a VERY targeted review and I thought a lot of it'd be lost on anyone who's not a total DMC nerd. sadly, the original draft was even longer and got into things like the lame ranking system which encouraged you smashing open chairs to get an S-rank more than you actually playing well.

Cairo: no, but not many games appear to have been designed under the influence of so much LSD. |

WQ, why do you find it necessary to tell lies about people's identities?

I read over this review again having just beaten the game and noticed this:

yeah, you can really fuck them up that way. but generally the safe strategy as Dante is to just use charged shotgun blasts on them until their shield is down, hit them with the shotgun again until they fall down, and then hit them with a distorted real impact. or just a real impact if you're a purist.
