Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y,Y - Combos

DMC has always been about spectacular, violent, brutal in your face combos, and DMC4 is no exception. Here Nero has some interesting options. Devil Bringer means he can effectively stay in the air forever, dragging demons towards him and slamming them into the ground. It's tonnes of fun. When his Exceed meter is full, or he triggers his Yamato devil, he can pull off some spectacular attacks too. But Nero has a beginner feel to him, almost as if he's intended to prep you for the arrival of Dante.

Speak of the devil. Dante's combos are quicker, more powerful, more spectacular and simply cooler. There's also loads more variety. He has four combat styles - Gunslinger, Trickster, Swordmaster and Royal Guard - which are switched by d-pad button presses, as well as hand to hand combat options. You can mix all these up with Dante's impressive arsenal of weapons. So, you might trigger Dante's devil, charge in with some blistering attacks, air juggle, switch to a different style, slash some more, whip out the Pandora's Box mini-gun, let fly with that, then, while in mid air, switch to Gunslinger and tear into another unlucky demon. Nice.

Verdict:

Dante's huge variation gives his combo potential the edge. He's more fun and challenging to use compared with Nero's simpler style. DMC4's Dante is sure to please even the most skilled hack and slash players. Two-nil to the veteran demon slayer.
