The series seeks redemption!!!

Devil May Cry 1 was labeled as a "stylish hard action game" meaning it had a load of high-speed stylish action. Devil May Cry 2 though, was a big disappointment to DMC fans. But now with Devil May Cry 3 coming this winter, the series will redeem itself! The first game introduced us to Dante's world and his half-demonic heritage which I won't talk much about since most fans know all about it; the second continued the story but it didn't have any connection whatsoever to DMC1 except the fact that it had Dante and demons. The third one though, will be linked to the first one since it's a prequel. That's right, a prequel. This is what is known about the game:

DMC3 promises to return to its roots of stylish and fast action. The game revolves around the clash between the two sons of Sparda, Vergil and Dante. This prequel to DMC1 will explore both of their roots and explain all those plot holes the first one had. It will explain why and how Vergil and Dante were separated and cover more about their parents' deaths. One dark night, Vergil who is evil, materializes a top a gloomy tower in the city Dante lives in. A man called Arkham invites Dante to his twin brother's tower and then leaves as Dante's office is flooded by demons. In this game, Dante hasn't discovered his full powers yet; so wether or not devil trigger will be available is still unknown. The game will have one of the most jaw-dropping intro sequences ever but nothing like Onimusha 3 but still awesome. But the most attention-grabbing new feature in this new installment of the series is that it'll have four(or more if time permits)different styles: Gunslinger which will make Dante a specialist in firearms, Swordsmaster giving Dante more abilities on melee combat, Trickster allowing Dante to perform tricks like walking up walls and other sorts of interaction with the environment, and finally Royal Guard which specializes in hand-to-hand combat.

That is basically everything that is known about the game. But for full information visit www.gamespot.com or www.ign.com and make sure to go to www.gametrailers.com to check out the amazing trailer of this game. I can't give this game any stars because it hasn't come out yet, but I put five stars because this game is sure to redeem the series after DMC2's failure!!

This ones bringing the series back to its roots

Two was disappointing by every standard, but it looks like their doing it right this time. The game is actually a prequal, so you start out as a young, brash Dante. Capcom is known for its stylish entrances (anyone remember Onimusha 3?), and this is sure to impress. One scene shows Dante and his brother Angelo clashing swords in the rain. Not only does it look brilliant (especially since none of its CG-thats right, all in-game), it also pulls you right into the game. Im still mesmerized by the trailer i saw. The action seems like its back and intact from the original. Dante's running up walls, doing his legendary "handgun juggling" technique, and swinging away at hundreds up scythe wielding enemies in the trailer. You also have the ability to choose how you actually want your fighting style to be. they have swordmaster, trickster, gunslinger, and royal guard (forgive me if i got the names wrong). Each one has its own specific fighting attributes, giving you much more control over your character. The game also looks gorgeous. Detailed characters and areas, excellent lighting, and some flashy effects give it an award for one of the best looking games on PS2. Dante is sure to come back with a bang in Devil may cry 3.

Awesome combination of DMC 1 & DMC 2!!

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.

I cant wait

This game will without a doubt redeem the absolute failure of the 2nd installment. It will have a more enclosed feeling like in Devil May Cry, which gives you this exhilerating feeling of urgency forcing you to f**k things up rapidly and with style. No need to mention the multiple fighting styles as I see that has been done. The graphics will also be better than both previous games delivering a even darker feeling. DMC3 will surely amaze and I'm stoked. Peace

In case you haven't been keeping up with the news - there's a demon slayer in all of us - so move over Buffy! *WHAK!!*

Devil May Cry 3 is being tagged as "the reason they made the PS2." Kinda funny that it took until the end of the console's lifespan to get it here, huh. Oh and if you haven't heard, there are more than four ways to kill a demon...

That's right, you heard me. Devil May Cry 3 has not only the suggested four fighting styles, but it's confirmed that there are two hidden ones as well. Even better - you can supposedly combine a few or ALL of the fighting styles together for one huge slugfest. So what else is possible besides running up walls (Trickster), punching a hole through a head (Royal Guard), raining Hell from above (Gunslinger), and cutting the hearts out of demons (Swordplay)? How about creating a duplicate (Doppleganger) or weilding the Bangle Of Time from the first time you made a devil cry (Quicksilver).

Want more? A completely rebuilt from the ground up gaming and graphics engine might be what you're looking for. DMC2 used a recycled engine from DMC1 (apparently they do that a lot to save money). Not enough? 60 frames per second will get you drooling I bet. This game is about as fast as Dale Earnhardt (relatively speaking of course). More? It's rumored that depending on what mood Dante is supposed to be in during certain phases of the game, you can actually see the expression on his face (rumor, though, don't quote it until you've played it). Still not satisfied? Let's see. What else. I know...

This game is hard. As in H-A-R-D! Some reviews say that it is the hardest PS2 game they've played this decade, others say this generation. Its difficulty has been compared to Ninja Gaiden both pre and present Hurricane, Maximo, and the level 10 Orochi in KOF '97! Further proof, the DMC3 Japanese release's hard mode is the American version's...are you ready for this...normal mode (jaws drop around the country). Even more, there are hidden difficulty modes just like the past two installments.

So get ready [gamers] to have your asses handed to you on a platter. A really big, bloody, demonic platter.

Fun after about 2 hours

DMC3 is a great new action adventure. But it does have a few problems it's one of the hardest games ever,EVER! This game will really kick your butt about a zillion times. The game does have good parts too it has great graphics and it has perfect cut scences and if you die enough you can unlock easy mode buy don't get your hopes up because i'ts not that much easier but i recomend you start over and go ahead in that mode. It also let's you choose between three different fighting modes trickster, gunslinger, and swordmaster. I highly recomend you pick trickmaster which let's you dodge enemies attacks much easier. You can choose the others to make the game even harder if your really up for a challenge. If you love interesting boss battles, mind blowing cut scences, cool grapics this is the game for you, I give it a 9 out of 10

Yes it's as good as you'd hoped!!

Great game, beautiful graphics, frenetic gameplay. You can literally jump on the backs of your stunned, prone enemies and surf around the area, shooting all the while. I'm serious. Yes, it is very hard, when you are given a chance to start over in Easy mode, take that opportunity. Trickster is the most accesible style. The easiest way to bulid up red orbs and stuff is to replay the first few levels a number of times to accumulate goodies. Just go to the level select option and voila! I bought two blue orbs to double extend my life bar before I even atempted the 4th level. The cutscenes are awesome and laugh out loud funny. Dante has been turned into a waaaay overboard hipster, but he still is appealing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO SUPER HARDCORE GAMERS ONLY. 5/5

DMC series miracle

Oh Capcom, thank you so much. If the series ended with 2 it would have been terrible.

Yes, the game is hard. Lucky, there is an easy mode to unlock (still relatively hard, but much easier). Also, you are able to replay earlier levels and collect a lot of red orbs for item buying. Between these two factors it's a managable game.

Gameplay wise, I love it. Controls are smooth, and you have the ability to switch between weapons at any time to provide awesome, seamless multi-weapon combos. The camera angles are good and you can actually rotate your view (although slowly). I was skeptical of the "styles" system at first, but it actually brings a bit of variety to the game. The only downside is that you can only switch between levels.

Graphics: They're good. I haven't finished the game yet, but there are plenty of cut scenes so far. And not every 5th level either, like the first two games. Every level seems to bring some develop or actionfilled cutscene.

Music/Sound: A lot of the fighting music actually has vocals, which I personally like alot. The music generally sticks the DMC standard soundtrack of rock to spooky. The sounds are amusingly reused from the previous games. You may notice that a lot of demon noises are exactly the same.

If you're a DMC fan, obviously get it. If you're just looking for a good action game, I'd highly recommend it too.
