Disappointing

The Devil May Cry series is headed down hill. The original was a wonderful game, but I just plain couldn't handle Devil May Cry 3. The dialogue is absolutely horrible. Dante spouts the most lame phrases you've ever heard. Not much plot here, just lots of slashing. Although the slashing is more difficult, seeing as the American normal mode is equal to the Japanese hard mode. All in all, a pretty worthless game. Stick to your origins, because Capcom has tried to become too mainstream.

THE CRAPPIEST GAME ON PS2.

This Game stinks. It is way to difficult. I don't like to pay $50 dollars so I can get fustrated and lose all the time. CAPCOM did NOT have the casual gamer in mind when they created this piece O crap. DO NOT BUY. RENT FIRST.

Save your money for the Special Edition version

Capcom is working on a Special Edition version of this game, where it will have a new character to play as, and extra bonus stages.

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......

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.

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.

Can this game get any harder?

i should've listened to X-Play. this game is HARD, a real bitch. Dante is so freakin' weak. either than or the mosters are too freaken strong. what was Capcom thinkin'? Dante is so big and bad in the cut scenes, taking stabs in the chest and everywhere else, and he keeps on walkin'. but when you actually play they bombard you with enemies and its like, 10 hits and your dead. im seriouse. and you cant block hits either. well, you can, but the way they have it set up, you might as well say you cant block at all. but it is cheesy though. thats kinda good. like sometimes when your playing and you do this little stabbing move with the sword he'll go, 'Breakdown!" wtf? LOL. anyway, i should've spend 50 dollars on a reasonable game.

Better than Part 2...still not great

Devil May Cry 3, definately a step up from part 2 but in my opinion not even close to part one. I figured I would give this series another shot with this one, even though being very dissapointed with part 2. DMC 3 is definately better, just in story alone (which means alot). The main thing I didn't like was that it was very cheesy at times, alot of the dialogue could've been alot better. It was a fun game but I didn't take it very seriously. I think that was the makers theroy not to take it too seriously. This game is definately alot harder than the previous two though, that's the main thing I liked about it, it's not one of those games that you can beat in a day or three. Other than this series getting a little redundant on game play, it's still worth checking out

Nice Style but Not Up to Modern Standards

Devil May Cry is the prequel to a series about a pair of brother / demons who kick, hack and slash their way through the world. There are zombies galore!

The game goes in heavily for style, with a white-haired, muscular young adult male in Dante who plays the drums, eats pizza, and enjoys spinning swords and shooting guns while holding them sideways, gangster style. There are plenty of one-liners and cool poses to keep cool-seeking players happy for weeks.

The game is a mission-based level fighter, where you work on one mission, get past it, go on to the next mission, and so on. In each mission you choose a 'style' of gameplay. You can focus on swords, on guns, on dodging or blocking. As you level up in a given style, you learn new techniques.

The game isn't just about button mashing. I've heard that some find this game maddeningly hard, and in fact after a while of playing you unlock 'easy' mode to help you out if the normal gameplay is just too rough for you. But really, the game isn't about all the typical 'helpers' like health potions and power-ups. It's about learning and perfecting your skills.

The graphics are reasonably good, although not nearly up to par with other current games. The backgrounds are dark and gloomy, with broken cars and busted windows, but a lost of the mystique is lost with the jaggy edges and repetitive decor. There are several other PS2 games I can name that get this 'moody' atmosphere done much more nicely.

The sound is mostly about pounding rock music to go with the heavy-hitting main character. You don't play this one for the mood or envelopment of atmosphere - you play it to slay zombies by the thousands.

All in all, this is a game that will definitely appeal to a certain group of gamers - those looking for fast-paced fighting, with a dark, zombie / heavy metal hard rock attitude to it. There isn't a HUGE amount of gore, and since you're fighting zombies it's not as "bad" as say the Grand Theft Auto series. There is some challenge in mastering the skills for each path - and to fight masses of enemies to work your way up the D / C / B / A / S / SS traditional Japanese measure of skill.

But I have to admit, the graphics just didn't thrill me very much, the music was a bit grinding and uninspired, and the game became very repetitive once you got the basics mastered. With the wealth of other games currently on the market, this is one we played through a few times and then put aside, while we played our other games for months on end.

Still, if you're looking for a game that requires some skill, that rewards persistence and doesn't hand out easy item-oriented wins in a zombie-filled world, Devil May Cry 3 may be just what you're looking for.
