God of Wargave me hack and slash fever. I guess I could have caught worse things from Kratos, that dirty sailor. Anyway, I sought to cure it by heading over to eBay and grabbing a Japanese developed and an American developed game full of slashing and hacking. The Japanese candidate was, of course,Bayonetta, and the American candidate…never arrived. So, sadly,Devil May Cry 4had to takes its place.
Every since seeingBayonettabehind Sega’s closed doors at E3 2009, while having the honor of hanging out with the legendary Jim Sterling, I knew it was a game I had to include in an adventure and make non-stop, unoriginal sex jokes all the while. Seriously, I think I have a crush on Bayonetta. She is now in league with Rebecca Chambers and Princess Peach to me. What’s that you say? I have to talk about the gameplay? Well, it’s…good.
Devil May Cry 4was sort of an impulse buy. GameCrazy was closing all of it’s stores and liquidating inventory. Since the local GameCrazy had no more copies ofHalo 3: ODST, I had to find some other deal. I sawDevil May Cry 4, and said to myself, “Sure, I’ll introduce myself to the series with this one.” That was over a year ago. Pairing it in an adventure withBayonettakind of makes sense. But now I wish that other “Dante” game had come through the mail becauseDevil May Cry 4should have stayed on the shelf. Watch the video for details.
