Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: In Devil May Cry, a young man named awakes to his destiny -- using his half-demon heritage to defeat an evil as old as humanity!You'll marvel at the engrossing stories, and your heart will stop when Dante enters the demon realm to avenge mankind! Amazon.com Review: Shinji Mikami, the creator and producer of the Resident Evil games, and Hideki Kamiya, the director of Resident Evil 2, have teamed up once again. This time, the duo has created a fast-paced game that's one of the best translations of classic 2-D action in a 3-D world. Two thousand years ago the Devil Emperor threatened to conquer humanity, but was stopped by a benign devil knight. The emperor was imprisoned, but now threatens to escape. It's up to the knight's half-breed son, Dante, to follow in his father's footsteps and defeat the Devil Emperor once again. In addition to being a fine swordsman, Dante is equally adept with guns. In the first half of the game, players slash and shoot their way through. After acquiring a different weapon, the focus changes to close combat. Weapons can be upgraded and new attacks can be learned, adding to the game's variety. As a whole, the action is immense and flows smoothly. A few things impede it, however. During fights with bosses and multiple enemies, the fixed camera angles can get frustrating. The in-game text also scrolls painfully slow. Graphically, this is one of the best-looking games Capcom has ever published, and that's saying something considering its impressive visuals in Resident Evil. The hard-rock-style music is nothing to write home about, though. The voice acting is strong, but there's not much of it, which is a shame, as the interesting setting would have made for some great storytelling. However, the focus here is fast and furious action, and this game elevates it to an art form. Parents should note that this game is gratuitously violent and is not recommended for anyone under 18. --Raymond M. Padilla Pros:
Amazon.com Product Description: Play as Dante, half-man, half-demon, who's armed with a sword and a wide array of other firearms. You will have full, ultra-responsive 3-D control of Dante as you combat with fist, sword, gun, and a stunning variety of martial arts moves that recall Hong Kong action films. You will have at your disposal many inventive moves: use your sword to pop your enemy into the air, for example, then juggle him with blasts from your gun. You will have unprecedented control of the direction and force of your sword and other weapons. You will battle marionette butchers, carnivorous lizardmen, and scissor-wielding wraiths in a series of responsive, fully realized environments, such as dilapidated courtyards, hanging gardens, twisted mirror realities, ghost ships, and caves. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Annoying. Period.Summary: This game is horribly unbalanced against the player. And this makes playing it absolutely frustrating. With poor story progression, there isn't much to make one want to put oneself through such a horrible experience. BUT, it just might be worth your while if you like the visuals and gameplay style. I'll admit I really enjoyed these aspects. If only they were accented by the rest of the game... Reasons I like this game: 1. Good graphics. ... Read More Rating:  - I hope I'm not too harsh...I've heard nothing but good reviews in regards to this game series, so I made sure to grab a copy for myself. As of now, I'm onto about the eighth mission, and I can't say I've found anything particularly gripping about it. The graphics aren't half bad for when it was created, and, sure, your ability to move past a battle depends on your own control of the joy stick and the x button (none of that turn-based garbage), but it's not particularly difficult. You can beat every battle easily as long as ... Read More Rating:  - This Game Makes Me CryThe visuals and the atmosphere of this game are unbeatable. But I can't express how difficult some of the bosses are, possibly due to the camera angles that you have no control over. The sword / gun combo is freaking cool and the story line rocks, but again...the bosses are HARD. This is another game that I would recommend buying extra controllers for if you are the kind of gamer that takes frustration out on controllers. Either way, I'd recommend the game simply for the experience and good time ... Read More Rating:  - Who's ready to get their tails whipped. Pros: The non-stop action, the storyline, the weapons, and the graphically beautiful stages. Cons: That creepy blob boss Rating: - Does anyone know how to beat the camera?Devil may cry is a great game. You will never see this game on a list of the 100 best games of all time; but good game. The theme is interesting, the sounds are killer, the soundtrack shakes to the core, the gameplay will always be challenging, and the combos are engaging. Like many games that have veered near the edge of greatness, Devil May cry will always fall short for two reasons. The game is tiny and the camera can never be worse. The entire game could buckle under ... Read More |
