First Look: Devil May Cry

Although early in the development cycle, Devil May Cry looks like another must-have PlayStation 2 title.

Capcom producer Shinji Mikami already has two popular-franchise feathers in his cap?Resident Evil and Dino Crisis?and he?s about to add a third with his latest title, Devil May Cry. Devil follows the exploits of a devil hunter named Dante who carries two guns and a sword?and the latter item enables him to transform into a demon.

Devil will use prerendered backgrounds loaded with creepy details and gothic architecture to give the game a supernatural feel. Unlike the Resident Evil games, though, Devil?s emphasis will be more on technique than on gory shocks, especially given Dante?s vast repertoire of moves. Dante will be able to double jump, attack with his sword or pistols, and even execute combo attacks: For example, Dante will be able to bat an opponent into the air with his sword, then switch to his guns and blast them before they hit the ground. Although it?s still very early in development, Devil May Cry may become another must-have PS2 title.
