Rule 1: You will be Fustrated.

Rule 2: You will not want to stop playing this game because its so

freakin bad ass.

Presentation: 8.5
Lightning-fast load times, an easily accessible interface, and the best storyline of the trilogy make Dante our new favorite guy.

Graphics: 9.0
Completely reengineered from the ground up, Dante's Awakening rarely slows down and moves at 60FPS. The environments are huge and beautiful and are supported by terrific designs

Sound: 9.5
Dolby Pro Logic II used to its fullest. It has creepy sound effects, a killer soundtrack, and A-level voice-overs. Do you really need anything else?

Gameplay: 10
One of the best action games of the last decade. An extremely deep customization system, plenty of combos, massive challenges, and excellent physics can go a long way.

Lasting Appeal: 9.5
More than a dozen secret missions, multiple difficulty settings, a flexible gameplay engine, and a compelling storyline makes it easy to come back to

Overall: 9.5
This game is out of this world!!

I haven't played the first 2 installments, but I got this one for it rating and reviews.

I'm a bit disappointed. I didn't buy DMC 1 & 2 because of reputed camera angle problems. The first two must have really sucked, as camera is one thing I hate the most about this game. The manual actually says "There will be times in the game where you can't control the camera angle". It should say "Once in a while you'll be able to move the camera slightly to the side, not enough to make a difference."

Graphics are very good, so is the music. Some boss fights have an element of puzzle, which is good. But The whole camera thing ruins it for me almost completely. Definatelyb rent it first or get it when it's cheaper.

This one's going up for auction.

Awesome combination of DMC 1 & DMC 2!!

Besides that graphics is decent not the best far from worst. dont worry about replay. after getting so far your goin to replay alot of levels. Sound, like i said this is a mans game. jessica simpson aint lip singing any tracks. Buy this game the mo people who buy better the chances of seeing dante on the big screen.

YES THIS GAME WILL TAKE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU...ITS SO HARD THAT TO A POINT IT GETS BORING....BASICALLY , YOU SPENT HOURS AND HOURS TRYING TO BEAT EACH LEVEL, THAT BY THE WAY ARE VERY HARD, VERY SHORT, WITH LOTS OF ENEMIES AND A HUGE UNMERCIFUL BOSS THATS WILLING TO TEAR YOU TO SHREADS...( YES IM TALKING ABOUT THAT CERBERUS ICE DOGGY AT THE BEGINING)....I THINK THAT GAMES SHOULD GO FROM EASY-TO MEDIUM-TO HARD AS YOU PROGRESS THRU IT...NOT FROM STAGE 1!!!! ALSO DANTE ACTS VERY STUPID!! YES I KNOW HES SUPPOSED TO BE A TEENAGER ON THIS ONE, BUT STILL TO IMMATURE FOR THE TASK HE NEEDED TO ACCOMPLISH.....LIKE FOR EXAMPLE HE WAS ALWAYS MAKING JOKES WITH THE DEMON SOLDIERS AND CALLING THEM NAMES, AND USING THEM AS A SKATEBOARD AND SWINGING FROM STRIP-POLES SCREAMING WOOOOOOOO!!!!! THATS JUST PLAIN STUPID CONSIDERING HES THE SON OF SPARDA..I THOUGH DEMON-KNIGHTS HAD MORE SERIOUSNESS TO THE JOB.....SHAME ON THIS SEQUEL AND DEFINITELY NOT DEVIL MAY CRY 1......

I couldn't say much about this game...check out the trailer at www.gamershell.com. It looked promising especially after the failure of DMC 2.

The combos are really kool...variations of slashing and shooting. That's it for now.

Not That Great

This game is highly overrated. There were some fun moments, but other games in this genre are superior. In addition, the game is hard to the point where it's not enjoyable, especially with cheap bosses and lack of precise & timely reactive control to beat them.

Graphics - They are ok and the level design is actually pretty impressive. However, compared to God of War and Ninja Gaiden Black, it falls short. Cut scenes are acceptable, but dated- especially comparing to PS2-only titles like God of War and Metal Gear Solid 3. The voice-acting is exceptionally difficult to listen through.

Sound - Sound effects are good, but cheesy heavy metal score is 1980s corny. Again, God of War stomps on DMC3 in this area.

Gameplay -This is where the game is the most dissappointing. Although God of War was easy, there were reasons for that - one of which were controls that were tight. Let's not even bring Ninja Gaiden Black into the equation. NGB was super hard as well, but the controls were extremely tight. I recently played NGB again to make sure I was comparing fairly to DMC3 and I validated the fact that DMC3 is stupid-hard because the controls are not tight enough. NGB steps on DMC3 in this area. Simple examples of where DMC3 falls short is not being able to roll out of the way-forward or back, but only side to side. This has a huge negative impact later in the game when you are trying to get of the way of cheap bosses. Instead of rolling out of the way you jump up right in the way of one of their huge cheap life-stealing strikes. Another dissapointing issue is there is no blocking functionality, again just plain cheap. Ironically, the non-boss characters are over-the-top easy in DMC3. There is no real balance to the game.

Overall: I recommed renting the game, it is at least worth that, but I wouldn't recommend purchasing it unless you had a lot of time on you hand to get over the steep learning curve to beat bosses later in the game and also the patience to deal with the lack of control that has a negative impact later in the game.

pretty good game, but i have a few issues with it.

if you're typically into this kind of game, then DMC 3 is probably a safe bet for you. as for me, i'm more on the fence. i usually like FPS games, but i enjoyed spartan: total warrior a lot. i thought god of war was rather disappointing.

luckily this game is better than god of war. however, it makes some mistakes. first of all, an action game should be all about action, right? don't get me all in a sweat fighting monsters just to make me press start and scroll through menus to take a freaking life thingy so i don't die!!! make it faster, dammit. for that matter, what's with buying life thingys in the first place? why not only be able to buy better moves & guns? (that part is cool) and make the difficulty easier so you don't need extra health? why place more obstacles in the way of action?

also when you die, the screen loading takes too long and you don't get to start again right away. i want to play a game, not wade through cut-scenes i already watched.

now my issues with the action.. the picture is too small and by that i mean, it's too easy for dante and the enemy(ies) to not be shown in the same damn screen!! sometimes i'm shooting at enemies i can't even see! what's up with that? it would be so much better if you could see what you're doing at all times. also all the different moves kind of get on my nerves. i don't like having to memorize a lot of moves, not to mention, even when you learn them, they don't always work! you might have to try a move 3 times and it works the third time.

i've never played ninja gaiden, but it seems quiet similar and if it's better than this, i'd like to try it. this game is pretty good but it's not capturing my interest for very long.

The hardest game ever made!!!!!!

Devil May Cry 3 is so hard your controller will be quaking in fear as you toss it at your TV. The graphics are really good especially during the cutscenes. The few different modes of styles are really flashy and cool. But this game is diffucult if you want to buy this game you better get ready and make sure your a good gamer because when you get past the first level then it will become extremely hard. But it is a really fun game that I could recommend to any gamer that is prepared for the diffuculty level of this game.

DMC 3

I loved the first two games, but this prequel was rather disapointing. It was very hard to play through even on easy mode, and there was basically no storyline. The graphics and music were wonderful, but the game did not live up to my expectations.
Thanx for reading my review, hope it helps.
