At the risk of once again invoking the wrath of the many electronic-game-defenders who will no doubt email me to tell me I’m a prude, I’m going to be preaching the truth here.
The first thing many Christian players will notice is that our supposed hero is stated to be "half" Angel and half dev**. Well, it certainly doesn't take much time to realize that this little punk exhibits absolutely no angelic, goodly qualities and it is frankly insulting for these game creators to abuse my religion for their trashy entertainment.
Despite the great prevalence of dev**s in this game, there's not a messenger of God to be found outside of the fake angels serving as the protagonists (I use that word very loosely). Is Dev** may Cry truly claiming that in times of such crisis, the Lord would not reach out at all? An "excellent" message to send to this great country's children. "God is no use for anything, dev**s are the ones who save the day!"
Worse yet, what I thought to be the one shining beacon of moral fiber in this travesty, one Bob Barbas, was said to be a dev** as well. Bob stands firmly against the immorality Dante represents many times, always with his brilliant catchphrase, "Just doing God's work." Despite this ludicrous, forced plot twist I surmise that Mr. Barbas was, in fact, an Angel: my theory is well supported by the fact that upon being forced to murder him they are rewarded with an Angelic weapon.
The technology that should be broadening the minds of our kids – who are already far more au fait with the future than the rest of us – is instead turning them into little panders, tiny bullies with no respect for His word and portraying good Christian men who dare to take a stand as obstacles to be silenced through physical violence.
I'm certain that this garbage only got worse in the later levels, but I personally turned off the game in disgust and would not play further after being forced to murder Mr. Barbas.
