All of this happens via a really stylish opening cutscene that sets the tone, and continues director Hideaki Itsuno's over-the-top action which was such an integral part of the third title.

However, our favourite demon hunter, Dante, soon makes his entrance and proceeds to blow the brains out of the Order's priest within the first few moments of the game. Just to run down the basics of the original's foundation, Devil May Cry 4 has players assuming the control of series newcomer Nero, a member of the Order of Swords - a holy covenant that protects the innocent from demons. The question is: how well has the remaster and enhancement been handled? Capcom has been aiming towards releasing remasters this generation, and after remastering 2013's controversial DmC, it's also decided to remaster 2008's Devil May Cry 4, complete with new content and gameplay tweaks. Over the years, the series has seen its highs and lows, with the sequel falling flat and taking a huge step backwards, while the excellent third instalment redeemed the franchise.

The original's blend of stylish combat while playing as a badass demon hunter who's half demon and half human really made for a great dynamic. Since 2001, Devil May Cry has become a franchise that many hold dear - and for good reason.
