Devil May Cry 3

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

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...

The third game of the series is the best, as is the law of trilogies. I like this game for the same reasons I like the first. The characters. Dante has returned the fast-talking sarcastic B.A. that we all know and love. However this time he actually develops, unlike the first, in which he is already developed and remains the same throughout. His brother Vergil makes his first appearance since 2001, and he's a better character in this one, as a dark and dramatic figure who is deadly with a blade. Arkham, the mysterious old former librarian who aids Vergil in his quest for his father's power, and Lady, a mysterious demon hunter with a connection to Arkham, shown by their matching red and blue eyes. They are all linked, as well and as unexpectedly as a Dickens novel. The characters and their development beats the first, even. The plot itself is also very good. But I won't spoil it, because then you won't be motivated to play the game. Just trust me that it's as good as the first if not better. The game is best if it is the special edition, in which you can play as Vergil, and you can lower the difficulty if necessary.

In total, this deserves an 11 but they don't have that here.

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.

No matter how much I praise it, you have to experience it to know how good it is
