Introduction
Devil May Cry is an action-adventure-horror game franchise (just a little of horror^^) that focus on Dante, the main character, kicking the asses of demons and monsters, from beginning to the end. After the disappointing Devil May Cry 2, Capcom releases DMC3: Dante’s Awakening to do justice to the series, bringing back Dante’s personality (that was reduced almost to nothing on DMC2) and the bizarre environments, also the action and boss fights are better than ever!
DMC3 is a prequel , is the first on the DMC timeline. It begins with Vergil, Dante’s twin brother, sending an “invitation” to Dante come to the evil tower, that he has just revived, with the help of his advisor Arkham, so he can get their mother amulet back, to open the gates to the Demon World. On the way to face Vergil, Dante will encounter a mysterious girl, that he calls Lady, and an annoying creature called Jester. All this characters has a very important role on the story and they get very interesting while the game goes on. The story and the characters are good reasons to make me go until the end of the game, it really caught my attention.
Gameplay
The game is hard as hell! The boss of the mission 3 probably’ll give you some trouble for a while, but after replaying the firsts stages you’ll be able to buy itens to recover health and get use to the gameplay. Dante can use 4 different styles (in total are 6, you unlock 2 on the lately stages), that you select before starting a mission, each one focus on something: swords, guns, agility and guard. Also Dante gets a good variety of weapons on his way, while fighting a lot of demons. This is a type of game that you have to evade the attacks of the enemies, so you can survive, because every attack you take’ll drop precious health, specially on harder dificulty. After the first fight against Vergil, Dante can use the Devil Trigger, that recovers health and increases Dante’s attacks for a short period (you can increasse the period buying items). The combat is very good, you can combine different attacks to make a cool combo to increasse your style.
Visuals
The environments looks awesome, and some are very bizarre , and the characters looks great. The cut scenes are very well-made and fun to watch, having some really cool effects and motion capture.
Sound
The musics on the game gives it a nice feeling of a horror environment and Dante’s personality. When you are exploring you just hear some bizarre low noises, but when the action begins comes a heavy metal music, what is very cool. The voice acting are amazing, a really good work of the actors, specially the actor who plays Dante.
Replay
The challenge of the game can be a little frustrating, but after some hours you get used to it. The boss fights are also pretty cool and challenging There are a lot of different levels of difficulty, but believe me, the easy mode is not easy at all. But the challenge mixed with a adctive gamelay and a nice story is enough to keep me coming back for this game.
Good & Bad
The Good: Adictive gameplay, cool story and cut scenes, challenging game, Dante is cool and funny and the boss fights are memorable.
The Bad: it is too hard from the beginning and you can’t fight Jester in his normal form.
Conclusion
IF you like a good story, a cool and fun main character, a deep gameplay, amazing boss fights and a big challenge, them Devil May Cry 3 definitely is a game worth of you take a look, specially if you like a challenge. A really great game on the PS2.
