The international review embargo for a game that I have been eagerly awaiting reviews for – DmC Devil May Cry – has finally lifted and early reviews are very positive.
The Xbox 360 version has received 85/100 from 20 reviews on Metacritic, while the Playstation 3 version is sitting on 83/100 from 8 reviews.
Here’s what some reviewers are saying:
Telegraph 100/100
As DmC progresses, it becomes clear that it is a phenomenal action game in its own right, with an interesting alternate take on the fiction and a sublime handle on action gaming. A title that taps into the kind of action the likes of Platinum Games are known for. Ninja Theory has shown they know how to weave superb action, biting dialogue and a brilliant visual style into a wonderful, cohesive whole. A blistering start to 2013.
GameInformer 90/100
Ninja Theory stays faithful to the heart and soul of the series with this reimagining – and that’s what matters.
IGN 89/100
DmC hurls Dante into a newer, better world, complete with a glorious combat system and enough style to make old Dante proud…This is digital action at its finest, steeped in the blood of angels, spiced with gunpowder, and garnished with a middle finger.
