  Sounds pretty good overall. Looks like I'm gonna be picking it up.

  85 out 100, huh?
  That's a lot worse than I expected this to score. I was expecting mid-90s. Although 85 isn't a bad score, it's just not what I expected from DMC4.
  
  That said, I'm still gonna pick this up on release date.

  In retrospect, I shouldn't have put the review score in the title. The actual pros/cons make for a good game. Now, to actually play DMC 1-3 sometime soon.

  this is so on my "want" list. *drool* 85/100 not too shabby, either. Although, it's unfortunate to say this will be my first DMC experience >_>

  Start with 3, Akira, as that's a prequel, then work your way to 1-2.
  
  The Pros clearly outweigh the Cons, but can't say I'm too enthused about a bland antagonist or backtracking. Sounds like the soundtrack is as good as always, though. ^^
  
  Nothing beats Devils Never Cry from DMC3...well, nothing from the DMC series at least.

  Ugh, sixaxis camera control is terrible. What if I'm not sitting up when I play? And I've never been a fan of backtracking. Just started Metroid Prime 3 and the backtracking is killing it. And the 5GB install is a drag too.

    Don't worry. Sixaxis camera control is optional. At least, if I'm reading the thread correctly.

  Well the Sixaxis camera control seems odd. As long as the option to shut it off exists (which it reads like it does) then should be great game. Would still like to play a demo first though.

  I must admit, I'm a bit surprised with some of the "Cons" they listed. Some of them seem to be things that should have already been fixed with the series.
  
  But overall, that's a pretty good review. And I'll definitely be picking up this game when it's released.

  Ehhh, not a HUGE fan of the DMC series (Beat 1, didn't play the other two)....I might get it though, eventually...
  
  I do hate gameplay that involves backtracking though....I can deal with som repetitive stuff (I play NIS games, it REQUIRES a lot of repetetive tasks, to do well in)

  I absolutely HATE backtracking. But if I ever manage to pick up a PS3, or go over to my brother's and he has this game, I'll be sure to try it out.

  Personally i like the cons. Sure having an interesting boss would be nice but that isn't what DMC games is all about anyway. Most of the DMC games from what others tell me is that it lacked good story anyway. Sure i disagree since i a big time DMC fan but i get what they mean.
  
  Back tracking its not a problem to be honest. I don't see why most would see a problem with it. As for being tedious thats subject to opinion. Hell cons are all opinions anyway, besides backtracking. I mean what others find interesting and good, others will dislike. So don't listen to this. 85/100 is a great score, and a score which i felt it was going to get. But i can't wait to play this.
