What our customer's say!

"The best DMC for the PS2", I thought DMC would be a bore and friggin' scary, but I picked up the prequel (since I wanted to go in the right order) and all I can say is: wow...a definite must have for any RPG gamer.

"Passable", As a series Devil May Cry started and peaked with the original Devil May Cry video game for the PS2. Devil May Cry 3 and DMC 3: Special Edition follow the same general formula as the original game. Plenty of combat laden areas and cool looking weapons, a hero and an antagonist seeking power. The storyline of the series has never been the main focus and that is apparent in this game. Characters are brought in almost at random and with cloudy reasoning for their motivations.

What has always set the DMC games apart from the rest is the action packed sequences and boss battles. While DMC 3 has plenty of both you'll end up lamenting purchasing the game due to it's definitively tired controls, abysmal voice acting, broken camera system and poor storyline.

In deciding to make DMC 3 a prequel to DMC, Capcom presents a much younger version of Dante. In an effort to project the younger version Capcom also made him somewhat immature. While you may argue that this decision is appropriate you'll quickly realize in playing the game that Dante resembles a hyperactive adolescent boy. The sequences in between combat are laughable as any time Dante opens his mouth it's an embarrassment to the talented folks at Capcom.

More than any other complaint - the terrible controls, broken camera system, dated formula - it is the voice acting that prevented me from liking the game. The script is cheesy at times and the voice actors are always unbelievable. Stay away.

"Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special edition", DMC 3 is a great game for those of you who enjoy games that have you fighting multiple enemies, but also includes a puzzle or two. although there are a bunch of puzzles, it's not like what you experience in Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time. Devil May Cry 3 also includes 4 different fighting styles that you can level up, so you can fight the way your comfortable. overall, this game is great, and if you enjoyed the first two games in the series, you'll just love this one!

PS: the special edition of this game allows you to play as Virgil, Dante's brother(Dante is your main character).

"An Excellent Action Game", When Devil May Cry came out for the PS2, many gamers were very impressed and blown away by its fun and challenge levels. When Devil May Cry 2 came out, many people were disappointed, as it was an easy game. Then Devil May Cry 3 comes out. Many people were satisfied with it, but it had complaints for being too hard (from one extreme to the other). A year later, it was re-released into Sony's "Greatest Hits" series with a Special Addition. How does it compare? Read on to find out.

(Note, I have not completed the original DMC3 yet, so I'll edit this review comparing it to it as such.)

Set before the original Devil May Cry, a young Dante just opened up his unnamed shop, when he gets a phone call from a mysterious caller. He sends an invitation in the form of a brutal demon attack, which is where the gameplay begins. After the attack, Dante sees the rising tower where his twin brother Vergil is and heads out to face him.

Devil May Cry 3 is an all-out action hack-and-slash game. If you like games where you kill every enemy in sight, this game is up your alley. By performing carefully maneuvered attack commands, you can perform different combos with a combo ranking system from (D)ope to (C)ool to (B)last to (A)lright to (S)weet to (SS)howtime to (SSS)tylish. At the end of each level (called "missions" in game), you are given a score board, which tells you your points for time, combo points, etc. and shows your rank, from D-SS. You start out with two weapons: Rebellion, a sword paying tribute to Dante's father Sparda; and Ebony & Ivory, a pair of pistols. Later on, you get Cerberus, a 3-piece nunchuk with the power of ice, Agni & Rudra, a pair of swords with the power of fire and wind, Nevan, an electric guitar, and the Beowulf gaunlets and greaves. In addition, Dante also starts out with 4 different styles to play in, each depending on what you picked. there's Trickster, which can be used to perform evasive moves; Royalguard, where you can counter attack enemies; Swordmaster, where you can improve your sword-based combos; and Gunslinger, which improves your firearms. Later on you get Quicksilver, which slows down everything for a while, and Doppleganger, where you produce a clone. You can level up these styles by killing enemies, up to level 3 for all but DG and QS. Lastly, about a third through the game, you have access to Devil Trigger, which puts you in an all-powerful state where your attacks are much stronger and you slowly recover health.

When you kill enemies, you collect red orbs, which are the game's monetary units. You can use red orbs to buy special attacks for your weapons, upgrade your guns, and purchase items. Items include green orbs, which restore health, blue orbs, which increase your lifebar, purple orbs, which increase your Devil Trigger gauge, gold orbs, which are more-or-less your 1-ups, and other items that can damage enemies and temporarily give you invincibility.

After beating the game once, you get access to Bloody Palace, which is a survival mode with 9999 levels. After completing a round, you have the option to go up 1, 10, or 100 levels. The farther you go, the more red orbs you get.

You also get to start a new file as Vergil. Yes, Dante's evil and powerful brother is now in your possession! He has Yamato, his O-katana, the Beowulf gauntlets and greaves, and the Force Edge broadsword. He gets two cutscenes of his own, but other than that, he plays plays through all of Dante's levels sans cutscenes.

Story: 4.5/5
Story is quite good, and has some twists and turns.

Gameplay: 5/5
Like killing things with swords? You found your haven!

Graphics: 5/5
Great graphics for the PS2.]

Replay value: Extremely high.
When it comes to replay value, this game really takes the cake. I have amassed over 35+ hours of total gameplay as both Dante and Vergil, and I show no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Bottom line: If you like action games, this game is definitely a no-brainer.

Overall rating: 10/10

"The game was very well delivered.", Thank you for sending me a great game in perfect condition & with a fast delivery.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"great game", i am not here to write a fancy review just that the game was amazing. the gameplay was great and for 20 bucks you really cant go wrong.

"Good Game", I really liked this game, it's kind of hard thou, with combos and stuff, I'd like this game to be more like God of War, in the camera aspect, sometimes in this game you cant see your enemy, in GOW the right analog stick is used to roll, and the camera is nicely positioned in the way that you always see your enemy. But why am I complaing? this game rocks really!

"Contender for Best Action Game Ever", Those who played the original Devil May Cry are aware of the fast gameplay and action that brought about a legion of fans. This popularity led to DMC2 which was an utter letdown, and DMC faded away. Years later, DMC3 was announced, and the world could not have been happier. This game is absolutely incredible, nearly flawless.

GRAPHICS: While some of the characters may look a tad bit blocky (fingers look like rectangles), it is an overall pleasing experience. Everything in the game, including animations are done nicely. Although there are a few slowdowns when many objects get on the screen, but it'll happen rarely.

SOUND: The soundtrack in this game is absoulutely flawless. It ranges from orchestrals to heavy metal, both of which are befitting to this game. And the voice-overs are nicely done as well, that alone really helps the game's story.

GAMEPLAY: Fast paced is the way to describe it. You're given almost everything you need to start racking combos, including the ability to switch between weapons in an instant. It really lets you be creative on how you want to destroy demon #2 differently than demon #1. One thing that gets annoying is the camera, it's gone in bad directoins on several occasions and a few times, will really really annoy you.

PRESENTATION: While the story started off weak I can honestly say that I was surprised and enthralled by the direction the plot goes in later in the game. The voice-overs are an invaluable asset to this story, and their help really shows. They're also quite a few unlockables, so once you've finished your 20+ missions, you can go back and do 'em all again.

OVERALL: Overall I feel that this may be a major contender for best action game ever. Competing of course with god of war. However all of the elements that merge together to create this game make for an unforgettable experience that must be played.

"This is what God of War should have been!", This is what fun is all about. This game is one of the PS2's finest. The action is fast, but not overwhelming. Not only that, but the action is actually fun (unlike a certain god of war's game). Yes, it's hard. But there's this thing called easy mode (its only truly easy on the special edition). This game just oozes cool, from the cutscenes to the weapons to everthing else. It's also, at times, funny. How often do you find a game thats intentionally funny (other then Timesplitters and Monkey Island)? This game is better than God of War (a game which many compare with Devil May Cry) on every level but the graphics. The graphics are fine, but God of War has fairly better graphics. You can also read my God of War review. Bottom line is, if you have so much as an ounce of fun in you, this is the game for you.
