... The worst that can be said about a game is "it's too hard". This game is a breath of fresh air, for the DMC series and for serious gamers everywhere. Devil May Cry 3 is another game which is destined to be in the same hallowed line as Ninja Gaiden, and Shinobi. A reworked...

Get ready for some action that's so good it's liable to make you gnash your teeth and possibly smash your controller. Devil May Cry 3 is an appropriate about-face for the most memorable of Capcom's more recent franchises... Read Full Review
