- The otherwise excellent story fades toward the end
- There's nothing here that's nearly as memorable as duking it out with Phantom and Virgil from the 2001 original
- New Dante is younger, meaner and swearier than his predecessor and-despite better voice acting-lacks that certain spark
- DmC combat doesn't feel as progressive as the rest of the game and is let down by the cookie cutter boss battles.
- Despite not making as heavy of an impact as the original rebooted DmC is still a bloody fantastic action game
- It's a close run thing, but 2001 DMC takes it by a hair's width thanks to its smooth combat and iconic hero
- LEVEL (Swedish game magazine) - 9/10
- Lots of fun variation in the level design. Dante swings between platforms, avoids incoming trains and explores vertical sewers
- The multiple stage transformations throughout the game is well integrated in the story that is being told
- Ninja Theory is taking a more serious approach than Capcom in the story-department
- The controls in DmC isn't as good as in the previous DMC-games - it's much better
- DMC-veterans will feel "home"
- Basically all the changes has been for the better good; combining Devil May Cry's deep, sophisticated action with the modern action-adventure stage-design
- Italian Insight Factor Review - 7.5/10
- More accessible than its predecessors and a valid reboot.
- There is a "loss of depth" and the game is easier than previous games in the franchise.
- Overall experience is still nice and fun.
- Plot isn't that exciting or technically impressive... fails to rise to the occasion. Game might have scored higher by the review if it was better.
- The art design and different take on the fiction will not rest well with the stalwarts of the franchise but it's far from being a total failure.
- Omission of lock on is absurd and inexplicable. This results in comparatively more chaotic and less tactical combat than in the past.
- Graphics not technically impressive, some low polygon models and low resolution texture with 30FPS.
