The Devil May Cry series is insanely popular for it’s over the top and frenetic energy, a blur of swordplay, bullets, and whirling attack moves put together with combos that stack up to the dozens. If you’re new to the series and this all sounds a little crazy, don’t worry. The bar for entry is nice and low, and now’s the perfect time to jump in. Why? Devil May Cry 4 is about to come out for the Xbox 360, and it’s the best entry in the series to date.

The all new story strikes the perfect balance of bringing back characters from the earlier games while leaving it open and accessible enough for people new to the series, unlike games like Halo 3 which assume you’ve played the previous entries and leave new players completely bewildered. But what it really comes down to is the game play, and Devil May Cry 4 takes its signature style to the next level, leaving your palms sweaty and your head spinning. It doesn’t get too much better than this.
