But the combat was still there for those looking to get that elusive SSS ranking.Īfter this, Capcom handed off the DMC license to Ninja Theory, makers of Heavenly Sword, and asked them to shake up the franchise a bit. But it let itself down with some niggles, such as its one-note cock-rock soundtrack, exceptionally bland (even for Capcom) environments, and making us fight several bosses twice to pad out game length. It was well received as the new weapons for Dante and Nero's demonic abilities shake the gameplay up in new and interesting ways. With the leap to the PS3/Xbox 360 generation, Capcom released DMC 4, starring a new whining anime boy named, Nero, on a quest to save his girlfriend from the in-universe equivalent of God. The game itself hasn’t aged terribly, and may be worth a look. The DMC3 Special Edition warrants its own mention for being less hostile to its players in terms of difficulty and having an entire campaign to play as Vegril, the aforementioned twin brother. The dialogue isn't painful to hear and the action shown in the cutscenes is so extreme, it borders on parody. While the return to enjoyable combat and a variety of weapons was appreciated, it was the light-heartedness of the game that brought many fans back. It plays the best of the original trilogy with four combat styles to choose from, each one affecting your gameplay in certain ways, and another two acquired as the game goes on. All in all, an inconsequential sequel that never had its cliffhanger post-credit scene tied up.ĭevil May Cry 3, on the other hand was a prequel, and being so, it allowed Dante to eject all the broody emotional drama and become a motor mouth anime pretty boy once again, this time shirtless. Also, why bother making a sequel when enemies and even weapons were lifted wholesale from DMC 1. It was generally made easier, but along with that the level end scoring was made much more ruthless, making fans of the first game scratch their heads. Along with the character shift, the combat received some tweaks. Dante was no longer the motor mouth anime pretty boy of the first game, but a broody emo dude who barely spoke and flips a coin to make his decisions, much like the Price of Persia from Warrior Within. Speaking of sequels, Kamiya was replaced as director and the results were apparent in Devil May Cry 2. It has aged well for a game from 2001, but in comparison to its sequels, the combat is a bit clunkier. The game was a smash hit, and developed a dedicated cult following, and pretty much kicked off the hacky-slashy-button-mashy combat genre.

While those among us who wanted to see if Dante ever stops wisecracking could play the game with an overall C rank, the truly hardcore wouldn't rest till every level had a great big S rank on it.
