Old Dante or new Dante, cynics be damned… DmC is incredible. DmC, Capcom’s reboot of the Devil May Cry franchise launches today in retail stores as well as day-in-day digitally on PlayStation Network, and boasts the second-highest critical rating in franchise history. This is quite the feat considering that DmC was one of the main inspirations for the hack/slash genre and heavy hitting titles such as God of War. Below is a list of where all five DmC games currently stand in critical ranking:

Devil May Cry (2001)94
DmC (2013) – 86
Devil May Cry 4 (2008)84
Devil May Cry 3 (2005)84
Devil May Cry 2 (2003) 68
