I thought this game is really cool! I mean there's this half mortal half devil guy named Dante, and he is soooooooo cool! He can jump really far! ... I like this game because it has lots of action and lots of like virtual worlds. It is just soooo cool.
...it has all the right stuff you need in a game, but it is violent, I really liked watching my dad battle the huge spider!
I hope there is a movie of this video game!!!!!

This game rocks!!!! It's awesome it has a great storyline,gameplay,graphics,camera angles everything! Especially the storyline,it's awesome. I'll tell you the story so you can see how awesome it is and that it should really be a movie. Private eye Dante tries to investigate and avenge the death of his parents,until one day he finds out that 2,000 years ago an evil devil named Mungus tried to take over the world but a demon named Sparda stopped him by the orders of the real devil. So in reward the real devil Satan gave him freedom to go to the world of mortals. Many years later now free from hell,Sparda met a mortal woman and fell in love with her and they both married. Guess what? Yes,Sparda and the woman are Dante's parents. Now Dante finds out that Mungus is going to try to take over the world again and that he is the only one that can save the world from damnation. So he finds his father's sword and takes his weapons and it's the battle to save humanity from the evil demon Mungus!!!!!! Now doesn't that sound more like a movie? It sure does to me. I hope they make a movie of it since it's from Capcom and they made a Resident Evil movie. I sure know one thing,if they make a movie of Devil May Cry I'm going to see it in the premiere!!!!!! It's gonna be cooler than hell!!!!!!

Yes it's true, the hype surrounding this game hits home. Capcom delivers another classic, another true to form awesome ... game. No doubt about it. Sound, graphics, fluidity, speed, and fun all factor in here and they hit home. People who suck at these games sneer at it but they just end up making an ... of themselves. THis isn't a game for the weak, this is a game for those of talent and perception.
The story is simple and the dialogue a bit cheesy, but the real deal is the action. Every boss fight, regular fight or puzzle being solved all equate to massive awesomeness ... you blast, slash, and jump your way through the many levels, sub levels, and collect orbs to upgrade your gear and give you specials. Yes, this game is truly an awesome classic that sets it apart from the other games, way too awesome.
Cool infinite ammo, and it's not a cheat!

This game is fun, bloody, and has one great hero. While playing you fight a wide range of enemies. Not recommened for younger players (especially ones afraid of killer puppets). The best part is you have infinite ammo for your guns. The game is very fun, but not for the weak-thumbed. Using your weapons at optimum effeciency will require painful use of the fingers.
The best game I have ever played

GFX: Top notch. However, there are a few misc errors in the graphics. (while running the sword will go through his vest, and a couple bitmaps were stratched) but other than that, 9/10 graphics.
Story: A very shallow storyline. Basically, (dont read if you want the story spoiled) your new girlfreind is after you, and your brother is a demon. In the end, you kill the bad guy. (nothing real special) 2/10
Sound: Good sound, some voice acting was a little corney. but othewrwise, you could hear anything and everyhing. 7/10
Goals: you get a breif set of goals every mission, however, somtimes its a little unclear what your still supposed to do. 8/10
Conclusion:
Over all, good game if your into beating things to a living (OR DEAD!) pulp. I gave this game an 8/10.
Great Game and a Great Buy

A very good game with good controls and a good storyline and great graphics. Very Interesting,Challening game, but not too hard. Basically a RPG game. Theres not to much to write detail wise. From the makers of the Resident Evil series. Like I said, very good, and I recommend it. And at the price it's at now, it's a real deal.

Shinji Mikami, creator of the Resident Evil and Dino Crisis series, has shocked us survival horror fans once again with the new smash hit title, Devil May Cry for the PlayStation 2. In this hot new Capcom title by Shinji Mikami and director Hideki Kamiya, you assume the role as Dante. Half man, half demon. His mother is a human and his father is a legendary demon that was well known for saving various lives in the past. Dante is a demon hunter that will hunt for any demon that threatens humanity, no matter how tough it seems. Many say he's a cocky character, but in truth, he really means what he says and he gets the job done in no time. After all, he does this for a living. And the coolest thing is, even if he gets stabbed by a giant sword, he will still survive and pull it out and recover in seconds. I don't really know how the story goes since I don't own the game myself. I just went to a local videogame store and played it for a while to understand every aspect to the game. The only thing I didn't get a chance to experiecne, was the story. According to director Hideki Kamiya (as recorded on Electronic Gaming Monthly: Issue 149), Devil May Cry was supposed to be a Resident Evil title, but the game's storyline and gampelay features were totally different from the RE series. So they decided to call it, "Devil May Cry". A nice move by the director behind the mask. Still, even if it was renamed, its high quality and great potential from the early Resident Evil series will be recognized in this game by Resident Evil veterans worldwide. If some of you gamers out there have already played such survival horror titles like Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, or any type of survival horror available (yes, especially that crappy survival horror game, Carrier), you'll feel right at home with Devil May Cry. But unlike the other survial horror titles where you character moves like a stiff soldier, Devil May Cry has slick character control. You get to move around freely without having to deal with dull manuvering or holding a button just to run. And the coolest aspect to the game is the combat system. You can finally bust out some combos on your enemies, and it's very easy to master if you happen to be a veteran of Capcom's fighting games or if you happen to study some of the moves from the Strategy Guide. Mainly you begin you combo by slashing your opponents with your sword and ending it with a rapid fire from your double guns. A very cool gameplay experience to survival horror fans. And to those of you who have played Konami's popular Dance Dance Revolution series from Japan, you will notice that the grading system in Devil May Cry is very similar to DDR's grading system. For example: if you happen to defeat your enemies at a short time or pass a stage without dying, you will get a high grade like an "A", "B", "S", or an "SS". If you do poorly, you will get either a humiliating ranking of "C", "D", or worse, an "E". Anyway, lets talk about how the game looks. The graphics are superb and flawless, just like any Capcom survival horror title. The detail on the characters and stages look unbelievalbly jaw-dropping ! The stages are so creepy, so terrifying, you'll want to keep the lights on. And one thing you can say about the special effects...it's absolutely stunning ! When Dante gets surrounded by a purple light, he will run faster than ever, and it looks smoother when he runs at a faster rate. And the best part is, Capcom doesn't have to make a whole lot of sacrifices in animation and speed. Besides, this is the PS2 we're talkin' about. And the PS2 is totally unbeatable when it comes to good games (PS2 may be the best, but wait until the Gamecube comes !) and superior graphics. The greatest parts of the locked doors is that a giant ghost hand is guarding it, and if you get any closer, it will grab you, leaving a fairly short energy loss. The sound is excellent. The battle music totally suits the action very well and it will make you want to bust out a crazy combo to the beat of the track (Sorry ! I'm just crazy about bustin' combos when the battle music plays), including the normal RE-like music that you normally hear when there are no enemies at a certain point. All in all, Capcom's Devil May Cry is extremely hard to pass up. This is a must buy for all survival horror fans who have stuck with Capcom's early survival horror titles. Or if you're totally in need to buy a great action title that will definently heat up your PS2 game library, Devil May Cry will totally amaze you, leaving you in a deep urge to play it over and over again until you had enough !
REMINDER TO ALL SURVIVAL HORROR FANS: If you think Devil May Cry is the best darn survival horror title to ever grace the PS2 system, Shinji Mikami will be re-creating Resident Evil for Nintendo's revolutionary Gamecube system with unsurpassed 3D graphics and improved control mechanics. In fact, all of the Resident Evil titles ever made, will come to the Gamecube. So what I suggest to all of you guys, is to buy a Gamecube, if you want to see all of the Resident Evil titles fully improved and enhanced. And hey ! Let's not forget about the long awaited Resident Evil 4. That one's comin' to the Cube as well !
