Devil May Cry 3

Easily my favorite hack n slash game ever made. I love Ninja Gaiden Black and Bayonetta immensely, but DMC3 is simply the king. I can't think of a category that matters where DMC3 doesn't come out on top in regards to the genre. From the combat system to the way the game just carries itself. Some things may be hit or miss with some people, most commonly criticized on its unforgiving difficulty. And while it certainly is challenging it just makes the reward so much sweeter when you finally master something. And it's so addicting that you might find yourself driven to SS rank every mission.

Now that the HD collection is out, if you haven't played it yet and you're a fan of the genre. Do yourself a favor and dive into this masterpiece.

The best in the series & one of the best games on PS2, top-notch gameplay great plot/characters exciting bossfights and soundtrack.

Many people will tell you this game is too hard. I will tell them they don't pay enough attention to the game. I beat Normal mode in under 9 hours for the first time. Easy mode is insanely easy.

The key to beating this game is paying attention, avoiding then attacking, and not mindlessly button mashing. This is the main reason people whine about this game being too hard.

The story is much improved compared to DMC1 and VASTLY improved since DMC2. The gameplay has evolved and fighting is intuitive and creative. The combos that are possible to perform are endless.

The boss fights are amazing. They aren't cheap, but they are difficult if you don't pay attention and expect to hack your way through without thinking.

This game is for people that want a real action game. There's no way to get through the game by button mashing.

For new players: Don't play Easy Automatic. Easy Automatic is worse than playing on normal. It makes you lose control of your character.

Don't complain about the difficulty on Normal mode, if you just listen to the game, you'll hear most of the attacks coming.

A major improvement over the last installment. The story this time around is very creative in comparison to the last two, and some of the cinemas are incredibly cinematic (Anyone who's seen the opening scene knows what I'm talking about). If you know anyone who has this game, I highly suggest you take a look see at a couple of the cinemas. You will be pleasantly surprised.

The Story: Over two millenia ago, a demon lord named sparda awoke to justice and sealed the door to the underworld. He sealed himself on the other side as well, but not before leaving two sons on the earth: Vergil and Dante. Years later, Vergil arrives to pay a visit to his dear brother atop a giant tower known as the Tem-ni-guru. The tower rips up through the ground right in Dante's backyard, and Dante heads out to pay his older brother a visit...

2005, man. The year when DMC3, GOW1, and RE4 became the bestselling games of the year.

This game will blow your mind. The opening was excellent, story is top notch, Dante's cockiness is back, gameplay is well executed, and the cutscenes as well.

However, there's one teeny tiny little issue I don't like. Since there are 5 total powerful weapons like the Rebellion, Cerberus, Agni & Rudra, Nevan, and Beowulf. You can only carry 2 weapons because the inventory system is bad. Unless you're playing on Nintendo Switch, you have the access to switch to all weapons at once. I wonder why Capcom wasn't smart enough to let you carry 5 weapons for the PS2 version, that would keep the stylish gameplay going. Despite that, the game is awesome.

And Vergil is playable character, but he has the same moves from his boss fights.

Play this game at all costs and I promise you'll love it.
