Lets Rock Baby!!! Players will definitely want to rock after this Capcom Classic. I just recently played Devil May Cry HD collection and finished playing Devil May Cry 3 and I definitely had to talk about this game.
Devil May Cry 3 is a hack and slash action and adventure game which was released in February 17 2005 for the PlayStation 2. A month after Resident Evil 4 was released. You can say that Capcom definitely had a strong year in 2005.
Devil May Cry 3 story is set before the events of the first Devil May Cry with a younger Dante getting an invitation from a mysterious man named Arkham sent by Dante’s twin brother Vergil. Just like Dante Vergil is half human- half demon. Unlike Dante Vergil expresses his demon side and wants nothing but power (probably my favorite quote from Vergil.) Vergil’s plan is to open the demon world to the human to unleash hell on earth but in order to do that he’ll need Dante’s blood in order to open the gate to the demon world but as players progress through the story they’ll learn it’s more than just the two brothers blood to open the gate.
Now the gameplay of Devil May Cry 3 is fantastic. Devil May Cry 3 features new styles that players can choose for Dante. First there is Swordmaster where Dante can do special moves with all of his swords, Trickster allows Dante to perform dodge attacks and run on walls, Gunslinger allows Dante to perform special charged up gun shots and Royal Guard allows Dante to repel attacks. Players will also be able to find more styles as they process through the game and players can also level up their style by defeating enemies that gain them experience points and they unlock new moves with their styles.
Now at first Dante doesn’t have the ability to transform into his demon form. Players will have to unlock that throughout playing the game. Devil May Cry 3 still consist of players complete ting missions and being graded at the end of every mission. Players are graded on how stylish their combos are. Combos are the key to becoming a good player in this game. Players have to link up their combos and while they are linking up their combos they’ll see a small gauge saying crazy, the longer the combo players we’ll see it change to Blast. Dante cannot be touched by enemies and must continue to combo to retain the combo gauge. Players are also graded through Time and accuracy and collection of Red Orbs.
Now as player’s progress through the game they’ll battle challenging bosses and at the end of some boss battles Dante keeps their soul as a weapon. In DMC 3 Dante can have two type of weapons and two type of guns in their innovatory. While battling enemies players can switch into their weapon or gun while performing a combo.
Last thing I want to talk about is the music in this game and all I can say is it’s FREAKING AWESOME. Every time Dante battles an enemy or boss the music is always on point. There isn’t one single song that I don’t like in this game. Hell you might want to hear this music while you work out.
Now the one downside about this game is the camera angle. When you move to one section players will sometimes have to move the opposite direction. It can especially be annoying when you’re fighting against enemies.
In the end Devil May Cry 3 is a fun kick ass game. Cool characters, great gameplay, kick ass music and so much more. Players will also love Dante’s personality. He’s definitely one of the biggest names in Capcom and in the gaming world also. Vergil is definitely an awesome character as well. Also if Players have the special edition of the game they can play as Vergil and learn more about his story after beating the game. Devil May Cry 3 is definitely a great throwback game and is worth playing. You can download it on the Xbox Live Marketplace or PlayStation store.
