In my quest for the next 360 game, I decided to check out a few of the demos available on Live before buying the 3 top February 5th releases; the Devil May Cry 4, Turok, and Spiderwick. Though Spiderwick wasn’t available for download, it made the choice no less natural, because after a few minutes into Devil May Cry 4, the choice is made. Worthy of note, I am a series virgin, so my immediate interest in the game has no story or character loyalty. Incidentally, my choice is no reflection on Turok, it too captured my attention, and it certainly has a place on my dance card. During our short jig, I instantly became engaged in play, although the controls were far from intuitive and the uber sensitive camera on the right analog will take some work to get used to, the dinos are way cool and I’ve no doubt Turok will be a fully enjoyable FPS that delivers some killer Jurassic action.
There is a fine balance in the art of video production when your audience scales out to such a wide spectrum. Every game type has many different tones, flavors, and styles that speak to a gamer just as much, if not more so, then its story or categorized genre. This "game personality" attracts people as uniquely as whether your a leg or chest guy, or if you prefer "tomato" or "tomahto". It simply becomes what turns you on most, in a game. From the demo alone, DMC4 will attract many of us regardless of anatomical penchants or pronunciation preferences, because it walks that very fine line of blood flying action and intriguing adventurous strategy. The flashy carnage somehow touches on a comic book "kapow", in a pristinely elegant way that removes even the slightest hint of corniness.
Having no history with the predecessors main squeeze, Dante, I can easily say that Capcom delivers a fantastic new character with Nero (though I understand you’ll get plenty of Dante play later on in the game) who strikes a delicious balance of his own with spectacular flair yet sublimely virile making him remarkably sexy for us gamer grrls and a fitting character for you manly men to virtually become.
I can’t wait to play through and get the rest of the story! I will post the full review sometime later this month, but in the meantime, I feel pretty sure Devil May Cry 4 is going to be a home run, so if you’re like me (waiting for your next 360 thrill), pick it up, play along with me, and let me know what you think!
Kiss Kiss,
