Devil May Cry 3

Dante?s back for a third round of hack-n-slash, run-n-gun mayhem in Devil May Cry 3.

After a disappointing sophomore showing, the Devil May Cry series is stepping up to the plate for a third episode of sword-swinging and lead-shooting mayhem. Series fans put off by the boredom and strangeness of the second game (with such ?memorable? bosses as a gunship with a big red eye pulsating on its side) will be pleased to hear that the series looks as if it?s back on track.

This adventure is a prequel to the first DMC game, with a younger?and cockier?Dante at odds with his evil brother, Virgil, who, it seems, chose an evil path. Other characters in the game include the mystery-man Arkham and the female devil-hunter Lady, whose prime objective is to destroy all demons?including Dante.

Destroy All Demons
For Devil May Cry 3, the developers rebuilt the play engine from the ground up and emphasized improved graphics and music. The camera has been overhauled as the gamer?s view rests squarely behind Dante?of course, these changes will hardly affect the core gameplay hook, which has always been fast and furious action. Weapons in Dante?s arsenal include shotguns, handguns, and even guitars to crank out deadly decibels.

Another notable DMC3 feature is the ?My Dante? customization, which enables various devil-hunting styles, including Gunslinger, Sword Master, Trickster, and Royal Guard. Each distinction lets Dante develop a specific attribute (Gunslinger, for instance, strengthens Dante?s shooting skills), thus forcing you to change your approach for repeat playthroughs.

The World, the Flesh, and the Devil
Devil May Cry 3 made its world debut at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in May with whirlwind video footage. Activities included air-juggling enemies and running up walls, and at one point, Dante punched out a series of monsters as he chomped on a piece of pizza. Hopefully, this third DMC entry will restore the fun and challenge the first game provided, but the second one lacked.
