Very nice PC port. Looks gorgeous and plays smooth. A noble attempy by Ninja Theory to continue on the Devil May Cry franchise. It certainly plays like it. But it is a lot easier. And the combat is a lot simpler. In 20 levels there were a mere 6 bosses. Only 1 of them managed to kill me. And outside of that boss fight and some cheap platforming deaths, I had barely half a dozen regular deaths throughout the game. Even on normal difficulty, that is not right for Devil May Cry. But despite that, still plenty of hacky slashy fun. Cut scenes were extremely well put together with good voice acting and a lot of facial detail. Really drew you in to the story. Final battle was fantastic and very fitting also. Similar vein to Devil May Cry 3's final battle although nowhere near as cataclysmic. That's no dis-service to this game in particular. There is just very little that can approach that battle. Vergil....
