Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening

Devil May Cry 3 is no walk in the park. Are you prepared to die? Read Review

Several thousand years have passed since the demon warrior Sparda raised his sword against the unholy world to save the human race. Victorious and assured that evil forces had been confined, Sparda joined mankind and fathered Dante. However, Dante was not the only son Sparda had sired...

Devil May Cry 3 unfolds an earlier chapter in Dante's history, before the original Devil May Cry, to the fateful clash between Sparda's twin sons, divided by the divergence of their chosen paths. The game increases the intensity of gameplay with a new "style" system, which adds an additional level of depth. Depending on preference, players can choose to use short-range, long-range, defensive or evasive play styles. Each system has its own range of gameplay features and players can choose to power up their favorite style for increased special attack abilities.

PS2 Previews | Dec 1, 2004

Many gamers regard Capcom's Devil May Cry as a great, but somewhat flawed hardcore action game. Its sequel was a watered-down, easier affair and copped a healthy dose of criticism back at in January 2003. Now it seems as though Devil May Cry 3 -- a prequel to the first game -- will set the record straight by finding a happy medium between the first two efforts. Dante is back, and he's cooler and smoother than even before. Read More »
