Emotional Wreck

Poor old Dante, after getting upstaged by his cooler twin Vergil in Devil May Cry 3 his thunder has been stolen again in Devil May Cry 4. Sure, fans were worried when Capcom first reveal the new protagonist Nero especially since you would be playing him for roughly half the game but all reservations about new kid Nero were quickly put to rest once gamers got to play him.

Nero reminds me of the young Dante in Devil May Cry 3 but apart from being a wise-cracking devil hunter in the face of danger, he was also far more emotional a character than Dante ever was. That was part of the appeal of the character for me, through the course of the entire game you will bear witness a wide range of Nero's raw emotions albeit they sometimes border on the cheesy side. In fact, Nero style of fighting was so fun that i kinda wish i could go back to playing him halfway through the game when you get to play Dante.
that can't be a good sign now can it?
