Cry

Devil May Cry 4 is just mind blowing.

Graphics is fantastic.

*Note: All screenshots do not do justice to the graphics, unfortunately. I think a graphic card is needed to see every minute detail. :D

New protagonist named Nero. Hot headed and pretty much a newbie compared to Dante. Nero tries to act cool most of the time but he's got a looooong way to go to achieve Dante's irreplaceable suave and coolness!

Nero's a human apparently, but his right hand carries some sort of demonic power.

Which enables him to fling this humongous sword with some effort (coz he's a noob! ha).

Nero's Devil Arms
Blue Rose! Nero's gun that shoots two bullets at one go. Pretty useful as it can be charged twice to release this colossal explosion!

Red Queen. Nero's blade. Its handle can be revved (vroom vroom) like a motorcycle handle to release flames on subsequent attacks. Very very difficult to use! Am still practising. Argh.

Dante, the other protagonist. Devil hunter. Super skilled. He was one of the bosses in the game and trust me, you don't wanna be fighting him. Hmph.

Dante's Devil Arms
Unlike Nero's (who relies mostly on his demonic right hand) limited weapons, Dante sports a whole arsenal of devil arms.

Ebony & Ivory. Dante's pair of handguns. Looks much cooler than Nero's Blue Rose but has less power when charged. They can, however, be rather impressive when used with Gunslinger style.

Coyote-A. Dante comes pre-equipped with this super shotgun. At close range, it packs quite a punch. Perfect to ground airborne enemies.

Gilgamesh. Acquired after defeating Echidna. Very powerful, which compensates for its short range.

Cool-ourful. Ain't it? :D
Wearing Gilgamesh, Dante is able perform a flurry of kick ass karate skills. He even has this flashy Chun Li style kick. Fascinating.

Pandora ('s box). Apparently it can assume 666 different calamitous forms. Pandora has a variety of depressive names (Hatred, Jealousy, Vengeance, Epidemic etc).

Not all 666 forms are shown the in the game though. The one above is Jealousy and it assumes the form of a machine gun.

Hatred is a rocket launcher.
Grief becomes a bladed boomerang.
Perhaps the most impressive form of Pandora is Argument. Pandora breaks open and transforms into this huge rocket launcher and fires missiles all over. Talk about opening up Pandora's box and wreaking havoc.

Lucifer. Next up is Lucifer, which is this demonic contraption that allows Dante to toss and manipulate red blades.

Stylish. :D

Very, very stylish. Heart shaped explosion! Notice the rose secured in his mouth. Tossing the rose causes all the blades to zero in on a target and explode.

Rebellion returned from DMC3. Dante's default weapon and is pretty versatile, especially in Swordmaster Style.

Like Rebellion, Yamato made another appearance and can be wielded by Nero and Dante, but they both pale in comparison with its original owner, Vergil. Vergil's skill with Yamato in DMC3 is unprecedented!

Graphics also allows me to ogle at the incredibly incredibly HOT Trish. Holy... Hot!
