Devil May Cry

THE GOOD:
- Interesting storyline.
- Fun, entertaining gameplay.
- Detailed, atmospheric graphics.

THE BAD:
- Far too short.
- Pretty much linear, aside from secret missions.
- Lack of music.
- No variety in enemies.

SUMMARY:
This is my first ever review, so please bear with me.

Storyline: Basically, you play as Dante - a half demon, half human private investigator of the supernatural. His father rose up long ago to defeat the evil emperor Mundus and his horde of demons, in order to save humankind. Now Mundus is back, and Dante must wield his father's sword as well as his two pistols to defeat Mundus and save humankind from extinction. Of course, it goes deeper than just that, and there are minor plot twists, but they're pretty easy to guess at once you start playing. I think the storyline is a bit lacking personally, and it could've been done better.

Rating: 6/10

Gameplay:...

THE GOOD:

Devil Trigger
Bosses
Difficulty

THE BAD:
Camera Angles

SUMMARY:
Dante...A half human half devil dude who's the son of Sparda..the Devil. Extremely cool, calm and collected Dante has the same sex appeal as Fonzie but the fighting technics of an acrobat combined with Arnold Swarznegger.

He wields a sword and 2 Pistols which he uses to slice and dice all foes that encounters him. He pulls of astonishing moves that you won't see in any other game. My personal favorite is when he uppercuts the enemy with his sword and then juggles them in the air with his pistols. Awesome to see and easy and exciting to pull off.
If he kills enough enemies he can turn into a full breed devil known as Devil Trigger. He then becomes stronger, faster, increases health and gains the ability to fly.

The bosses are also astounding and each have an original way of killing them....

THE GOOD:
- good graphics
- great sound
- finally. something that didn't take eight minutes to make.
- I found this for £5! Bargain! It's worth £50! Well... it should be.

THE BAD:
-Running around for one thing when I realised I already had it. 1 hour wasted.
- Bit annoying that enemies respawn.
- Nightmare... say no more.
- Mundus. cool but it should of been harder.

SUMMARY:
Worth buying, but short, very short. Some more detailed explanation would be nice. I didn't find out that Nelo Angelo was

*SPOILER*


Vergil, Dante's brother



*END SPOILER*

until 2 years passed. But... VERY GOOD while it lasts. The Phantom was good, and I enjoyed battling Nelo Angelo a lot. The Griffin was annoying though, and the swimming sections... well I'll save it for parties shall I? *doggy paddle,and well... he could go a bit bloody faster. He is a bloody devil after all*

I...

THE BAD:
you cant move the camer making it really hard to know how far you have to jump or what is around you a minor flaw but it doesnt change the gameplay too much and there is no way you can not like this game

THE GOOD:

Good replay value
Dante's cool and cocky attitude
Classic game

THE BAD:
Might be too difficult for the casual gamer
That's it really

SUMMARY:
This game originally started out life as Resident Evil 4 but was changed into the game that we all know and love. This game is probably one of the best ones on the PS2 to date. The main character, Dante, is a half-devil and is the son of a legendary dark knight called Sparda. 2000 years ago Sparda defeated the evil demon ruler Mundus and locked him away. But now Mundus is back and it is up to Dante to stop him.

The whole game has a Gothic feel to it with the buildings and interiors coming across as older and grand. The visuals in this game are not the best in the world, but they are plenty good enough to convey what it's trying to get across. There are 24 levels to...

THE GOOD:
Everything from the graphics to the storyline. The engine is easy to use. The combs are killer. Hell even the music is alluring. I honestly don'y see much wrong with this game.

THE BAD:
Only thing that bothers is the fact the all the missions are in the castle but i understand that it's essential for the storyline so it's acceptable.

SUMMARY:
From the beginning to end this game just captures you. All it's elements produce a great game. A lot of people have complained about the difficulty but it's the challenge that makes it all worth it. I think the storyline and the characters are what most contribute to the whole experience. Capcom has started a saga that will live on for a long time. I must say the graphics are dazzling,smooth animation and movement. The engine itself is sick not to mention Dante's various combos, each with their own element.

THE GOOD:
- Incredible gameplay, very fluid mix of sword and gunplay, with some acrobatics thrown in aswell.
- Good graphics, somewhat lagging now, but still one of the better looking games on PS2 by a long way.
- Excellent enemy design and animation.
- Excellent range of moves and attacks, ranging from sword uppercuts to hurling fireballs.
- Dante: the badassest game character ever.
- A genuinely challenging game.
- Great soundtrack with a nice mixture of gothic and haunting classical and rock.

THE BAD:
- Cheesy voice acting.
- The camera can make things tough for you.
- Somewhat short.

SUMMARY:
Gameplay:
This is where the game is at its most ridiculously flamboyant best. Acrobatic double jumps and rolls, lethal sword play and brutal fist fighting all balanced out with a good dose of shooting and blowing things up. The control system makes the gameplay very easy and enjoyable, as...

THE GOOD:
Great graphics, the coolest main demonic character ever, pretty cool music too, ranging from the super cool eerie hall music to the battle themes!! Great adventuring space too.

THE BAD:
It took me a while to complete, but maybe its a bit of a short game?

SUMMARY:
Dante, a man with demonic blood and son of Sparda runs a business, in which he takes on jobs. One day, a mysterious woman named Trish confronts him...one job may just save the world from an army of darkness...

Devil May Cry is one of THE best action games I have ever played.
The game is set in a nice dark and lonely castle, infested with devils and monsters. More fun for us...^_~ One of the beautiful parts of this game is the controlling. Its so easy and fun, you get used to the buttons and weapon combo attacks in no time!

Which reminds me...the weapons. Oh, the wonderful, violent, blood-sheding weapons. There are two types,...

THE GOOD:
Good graphics. Plenty of diffulty modes to unlock.

THE BAD:
The camera it ruins the game

SUMMARY:
I bought this game after a friend recommended it. I was really disappointed. Whats wrong with this game is simple: the camera. It swings around annoyingly when you move around, its unstable and as a result the combat in the game suffers as a result. Boss battles highlight this problem. You could be fighting an enemy without it even being in view cause the camera is so naff. This means you may often be fighting blindly. The controls feel unresponsive at times but this may a result of the camera. It would be much better if you were able to correct the camera using the right analogue stick to show you what you actually want to see. The camera problems annoy me to such a state I dont rate this as a great game. Which is a shame because it could have potentially been one if not for its problems. Chaos...
