Utilizing the option cranks up the overall experience to 20% faster than before. Plus, his side story is rather fascinating to watch unfold.īesides difficulty adjustments and gameplay as Vergil, a few of the other additions include the ability to speed up the action even more with Turbo. With a vicious katana and flying blades in lieu of bullets, playing as Vergil feels like a more serious affair than going through the game as his happy-go-lucky brother.

It's nice to have some variety, and unfortunately, Vergil is confined to one fighting style. His Dark Slayer style is more powerful than Dante's multiple attack techniques, although it gets a little redundant after a while, as he can only collect orbs instead of having versatility. Either way, Vergil's both limited and more badass than Dante in his own right. For players who don't have a save from DMC 3, Vergil must be unlocked by playing through the game and clearing it. However, the biggest bonus is a version of the game that allows players to take on the role of Vergil. That means careful button-mashing and skilled combat will take players through an exceptionally challenging game.

Gameplay-wise, it still feels like the same game going through as Dante.
