What the reviewers say: Rated 8.5 by IGN,

“This is a Devil May Cry for a new generation, one where there’s loud background music when you fight demons, the narrative is laced with sexual innuendo and the hero is slightly emo. It also has a strong female lead who isn’t just a token female character. “

See Dante‘s new look, check out new the arrival of Capcom‘s hardcore shoot-’n'-slash. The game focuses on player character Dante, a young man with supernatural powers who finds himself under attack by demons. Like previous games in the series, Dante can perform combos by attacking with his sword, Rebellion, and shooting with his twin pistols, Ebony and Ivory. New to the series are modifiers to Dante’s move set, known as Angel Mode and Devil Mode, activated by holding down one of the trigger buttons. When in Angel mode, Dante’s sword attacks change to the Osiris, a speedy scythe type weapon. Devil mode uses the slower but more powerful Arbiter.
