If you have any love for the original title, there’s enough new content here with the three additional characters that playing through it again will feel like a fresh experience.

Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition reaffirms the series' status as the current king of the action genre. It may not fix some of the blemishes inherent to the game's campaign, but the new characters and styles are fantastic, and will have players creating combo videos for years to come.

Even after seven years, you’ll be hard pressed to find a game that better demonstrates the absolute top of the hack and slash genre.

Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition arrives in a time when remastered games tend to dominate the launch catalogue of many consoles. Even though many of them are criticized for not offering anything new that their original counterparts didn’t have or at least received some minor additions, it's really pleasant to come across with a title that easily becomes in the definitive version of its own entry. Definitely, a remaster that fans should try.

Thanks to the improvements made – and maybe the lack of anything like it outside of maybe Bayonetta 2 – it was a true pleasure to return to Capcom’s world of jacked up angels, plant dragons, and Dante hamming up every single delicious scene he’s in. Truly, it’s good to be back. It’s better to be back than it ever was.

A good game wrapped in a great remastered package. Capcom could have just slapped together something with a higher resolution and called it an HD remaster like many are doing, but they elected to actually build upon their seven year old game by adding meaningful content. Granted, they didn’t reinvent the wheel with these extras, but playing as Trish, Lady and especially Vergil are more than welcome additions.

While the remaster may not fix all of the flaws of the original game, it does manage to breathe new life into one of Capcom's most beloved series.
