The Ultimate Badass Returns

User Rating: 9.4 | Devil May Cry 3 PS2
Let me put it in simple terms, wow! I have been playing through Devil May Cry, and I am astonished! This game starts off before the first 2 games. Devil May Cry 3 is set when Dante is young (in other words, a cocky youngster) and before he gets his true devil powers. Oh and before I say anything else, Devil May Cry 3 is going to leave your orb wallet empty for most of the game, due to the difficulty of the game. You are going to be constantly buying health items and life items. You won't get far (even on easy mode) without them. The demons in Devil May Cry 3 are hardcore beasts. They will keep getting harder and harder, bigger and bigger, tougher and tougher. You have to fight a 100 foot tall, 3 headed dog for peat sake! Characters-(spoiler) Dante's brother, Vergil is a bad guy (what a surprise...) Virgil has an accomplice with him during the game. This Person is called Arkham. Although he is human, he ends up be driven into turning into a demon. There is also a female character in Devil May Cry 3, her name is Lady (why her name is Lady I don't know???)She is a devil hunter like Dante, but, she is human, and she wants to kill every demon she can lay her hands on (including Dante!)For a woman, she is s seriously hardcore gal; she carries a missile launcher around with her! (Spoiler end) That pretty much raps it up for the characters. Now onto the weapons and the fighting styles! The new weapons are so cool! And the new style system. The styles provide a massive variety of move and techniques. (When I say massive, I mean massive) The new weapons that have been put into the game are amazing! (spoiler).For example, when you get to mission 5, you have to beat this boss, and once you beat this boss, you receive its weapon(s)The weapon is a pair of swords, one is a sword with the element of fire, and one with the element of wind.(spoiler end). When you first start of in Devil May Cry 3, you get to choose from 4 different fighting styles, Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger and Royal Guard. Trickster-Enables you to dodge enemy attacks with ease, e.g. Say an enemy is about to lunge at you with an axe, if you press circle and hold the direction you want to go in, you will do a little speedy dash. This fighting also enables you to run up walls and run across walls. Gunslinger-This fighting style enables you to use a variety of guns to your advantage. e.g. if you are suing Ebony & Ivory, you can shoot in 2 different directions at once, so if to enemies are standing either side of you, you can use this technique to demolish those enemies. Also, with gunslinger you get to execute this move called Rain Storm, to execute this move you must jump into the air and press circle(or repeatedly tap, if you want the move to last longer), when you execute this move, Dante aims downwards while in mid air and spins around fast, rapidly shooting his pistols! Trust me it is awesome! Swordmaster-This style makes you a master at swords! (Hence the name swordmaster, no? still don't get it?) Anyway, the Swordmaster style enables you to do a variety of outstanding moves with melee weapons. There is this move called Aerial Rave, first you have to throw an enemy straight up into the air, then you jump up and start hitting circle to start performing mid air slashes against the enemy. There are also a variety of moves available for purchase with Red Orbs that are impressive to. Royal Guard-This style is all about using the enemies attack against them, and using advanced blocking techniques. E.g. If you hold circle and a direction on the left analogue pad, you will counter the enemies move and throw them in the chosen direction. There isn't really much to say about this style, but blocking and countering. Don't get me wrong though this style is an essential in some of the later levels. That pretty much raps it up for the style's as well. All in all, Devil May Cry 3 is an awesome game, with slick, cocky Dante, style. Devil May Cry 3 is a must have for the fans of the previous title's in the DMC series. 10/10
