E3 DmC

Ninja Theory's scratchy rethink of Devil May Cry continues to underwhelm, despite some sparky thuds and trip-hop beats. Above all there's very little indication that Ninja Theory, and their Capcom paymasters, have any idea what to do with the Dante character. Series creator Hideki Kamiya imagined him as a supercool smart alec, much like Buichi Terasawa's Cobra. In series reboot DmC, he's a skinny jeans wearing frowner, with ill-defined authority issues.
