This game is a bit hard to recommend to a good number of people. The game recycles the same campaign three times (With five different characters), which already repeats itself twice. There's going to be a lot of repetition, so you have to love the gameplay in order to get any enjoyment out of this game.

And thankfully, the gameplay is really polished despite some hickups regarding enemy and level design. The two characters you could play as originally, Nero and Dante, are still as fun and complex as they were in the original title. The three new charcters, Vergil, Lady, and Trish are great additions to the game. Well, at least Vergil is. Lady is alright, but the gun gimmick doesn't click with me. Really didn't care for Trish. Her gameplay was so shallow I couldn't stand to play as her for too long.

A criticism I have with this game is the optimization. The original Devil May Cry 4 was notable for being one of the only good PC ports Capcom has made. The port was so good in fact, that it was considered the definitive version of the title due to it's low requirements and the edition of Turbo mode and Legendary Dark Knight difficulty. Unfortunately, SE isn't as well optimized as the original. There's a lot of unnecessary post processing effects that make the game chug and stutter. You can't turn these off through normal means, so you'd have to look up a guide on how to remove those with a hex editor. I'm hoping Capcom releases a patch that better optimizes the game and adds more graphics options.

As I've said before, you'd need to REALLY love these sort of games if you want to get any enjoyment out of this. If you're the type of person that's in to hack n' slashes and has a relatively decent PC and a gamepad, try this game out and see what you think.
