I bought RE: CVX only partially because I like Resident Evil. The other reason was to see the Devil May Cry demo. From what I have seen this game is just the kind I like. I like challenge, but am not huge on super complex puzzles. I like long games, but a 20 something hour long game of Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger is a bit much.

From what I have read, and what I have seen in the demo, DMC has a good blend of puzzles and mindless hack & slash (and in this case shoot as well), and it won't take me 20 hours of play to finish.

I keep on beating the final boss!

I wrote a review about this game already. I just wanna give an idea of how cool the game is. Like many other games, the last chance you get to save the game is before the final mission. So I keep beating the final boss over and over again because it's so damn fun!

Resident Evil meets Onimusha Warlords.

Devil May Cry is an action packed, fast pace combat oriented game. Assume the role of Dante, Son of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, and conquer Mallet Island and the Dark God Mundus.

First off, let's talk graphics. Beautiful! The moves are fluid, the cutscenes are flawless. Dante explores some of the best environments ever to grace a console platform. The sounds are great as well, from the blast of the shotgun to Dante's footfalls.

The controls are generally good, but the shifting camera angles can sometimes make the absolute directional system a bit painful. In certain spots where chnges are prominent, you can press the analog stick in one direction and run back and forth almost forever. This is rarely more than a minor nuisance, however. Controls work exellent, and are very responsive, which is a must for an action based game.

The gameplay is pretty straightfoward. Dante explores the castle and surrounding island, killing monsters which release soul orbs. Dante offers up these souls to Watcher statues to buy new techniques for his weaponry, power ups, etc. Fighting monsters also recharge his "Devil Gagues," the power derived from his demon half. As with previous Capcom games, there is minor puzzle solving, but the major focus is action.

As if normal mode wasn't enough (There's a reason that there's a hidden "Easy Auto" Mode), there are several more difficulties. Each time you beat the game on a harder mode, you unlock more stuff, including a Mode where you play as the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda himself.

The storyline is also really cool, with spectacular cutscenses and a great plot. Unfortunately, there isn't enough of it, but this is an action oriented game, so it's unlikely that this was a primary concern for the design staff (nor does it merit taking away form the rating).

All in all, if you liked either Onimusha or the Resident Evil series, or are a fan ofaction/swordfighting/shoot-'em-ups, Devil May Cry will not disappoint.

Rent this first

While this game is indeed fun, it's short and lacks replay value. I would recommend to anyone interested in buying it to rent it first. In all likelyhood, you'll beat it before the five day rental is up. Granted, I thought it was really fun and would recommend it to anyone who likes resident evil style games, but don't spend the $... it costs. Pay the $...rental.

just a copy

I really liked the game and after I beat it, I played it all over again but seriously, I own about 24 PS2 games and I have to say that this game has the worst graphics out of all of them, and it's 2 short, the boss is also stupid.

Pretty good

I'm not gonna give you a full explanation of this game like some other people did. You basically know what its about and if you've played any of the resident evils, you'll kno what to expect. The gameplay is definitely fast-paced, the only thing i don't like is how the monsters respawn every time you re-enter a room. I kno it gets you easy points and its no match once you get the hang of it, but it get annoying having to slash through those retarded puppets. It has a pretty good story to it, and the bosses of the levels are definitely original. I would suggest this game to anyone who liked resident evil or who would enjoy messing puppets up with some crucial combos. I'm out, 1

Get this game!

As sad as this is, this game's graphics are awesome.....but that's where it ends. The game takes 6 hours to beat. I'd rent it and beat it that way then buy it and beat it the first time you play it. I rented it for 5 days(the video store's deal here) and beat it in 6 hours and 13 mins the first time I played it. Seriously the game isn't worth the price.

Yawn, more of the same

Nice graphics doesn't save a game that costs 50 bucks but can be played just once and in about a day. Unlike MGS 2 there is plenty of action here although not much of a variety to speak of... The story is as stupid as ever, maybe appealing to fans of vampire anime. Just not a must-play game.
