The in-game cinemas are really gorgeous, nearing the quality of a CG movie. The overall production values for them are excellent.

Capcom is one of the few companies to use surround sound effectively. Ambient effects are spaced in surround sound channels. The audio sounds like you are in the game space. The music is not too shabby either. While you are not fighting, it is creepy and atmospheric. When enemies appear the music starts to ramp up to a hard rock song. As the music ramps up and the action gets more intense, the game's entire feel is more energetic.

The voice acting is well done. None of the actors goes too far over the top (which may have been hard to do in game about a demon invasion). I especially appreciated the fact that Johnny Yong Bosch, the voice of Vash the Stampede in the English dub of Trigun, played Nero.

Devil May Cry 4 is one of those old-school gamer games. After beating it one difficulty, you will want to beat it on the next, and then the next, and then the next. You can upload your score to Xbox Live at the end of each level you complete, so many will just want to up their friend's score. Playing through again allows you to use techniques you learn later in the game throughout the missions. You can also continue to upgrade your character. After playing through once, I had not unlocked that many achievements. I would love to unlock some more and improve my score on a few levels.

If you own a Xbox 360, you must check this game out. I am not a big fan of this genre but I ended up loving this game. Once you start playing this game, you will not be able to put it down. Other games only saw my Xbox 360's tray once in my time of playing Devil May Cry 4 through.In fact, I am going to go back and play some more.

So, if you'll please excuse me... I have to go kick some demon ass.
