Devil May Cry 4 is Capcom's installment featuring Nero and Dante, here in the Xbox 360 version. The page lists the rewards you get by completing the game on different difficulties. The Bloody Palace opens to Devil Hunter, the Super Dante Costume to Dante Must Die, and other costumes, such as Super Nero's, with their respective conditions. It's best to play calmly on the higher difficulties, because they're the ones that give you the best rewards.

Tricks and Strategies
Keep the Dreadnaught armor (needs the Royal Guard style at maximum and the Dreadnaught ability): hold LB + Left Analog Back + B for an invisible armor (even with the gauge empty: 5 seconds of invulnerability, with movement limits). When it is about to end, equip the melee weapon: if you are fast enough you keep the shield and move normally, but you still take maximum damage.
Easy Red Orbs in Mission 7 (The She-Viper): 4,300 in 20 seconds. At the start destroy the rocks on the left and enter the tunnel; you will see a red crystal near the Secret Mission. Start with the Stinger, activate Devil Mode and destroy everything, then press Start and "Restart Mission".
Berial: use Grim Grip to get close to the head and hit it with the sword; after the combos repeat Grim Grip in the air. When the flames are gone jump on the head, grab it with the Devil Bringer and, once you land, throw it and hit it. Back off when it releases explosions, take the Green Orbs, roll to avoid the fire geysers and use the Power Shot: it can be defeated in under a minute.
Demon bosses: with Nero's Devil Bringer bring the Devil Trigger to maximum before stunning the boss; when it is confused activate Devil Mode and use the uppercut, on different points of the body.
Sanctus (Mission 20): while he is in the air with the shield, break it with the sword; if he protects himself with the Sword of Sparda block his defense with the uppercut. If you are skilled use Devil Form in the air to bring him down. Under 10-15% health use the uppercut the moment he charges the sword attack, then again in Devil Form to finish him. In the second battle (False Prophet) counter his attacks with the uppercut.
Sparda: equip Pandora, hold X and perform two full circles with the left analog stick (PF398 Revenge technique), then shoot Sparda: you may need 2 hits, but he will fall as with the fixed cannons.
