I know I am waaaay late to the game on this one, but I've never been a big RPG gamer. On the surface, I thought DMC might have been an RPG-like game. I was very wrong. I only wish I had bought this one sooner.

Pros: Very difficult, you genuinely feel like you've accomplished something when you beat a boss or clear a level that you've been working on countless times until you clear it.

Great graphics, the world is not as interactive as say the Grand Theft Auto Series, but it sure looks great!

Decent Storyline: Half man, half demon, I know, sounds ridiculous, but video games are like hollywood, and this one has some solid production value and the story line works.

CONS:

Camera angles: The game changes views frequently as you progress through the game and there are only a few screens where Dante can actually control the camera angle. There should have been more, perhaps this is corrected in 2 or 3 when they come out.

Too many tools/options: I was about half way through the game before I realized you could 'un-lock' other abilities and 'buy' other 'stars' that give Dante special abilities. Stupid me, but the amount of weapons, specials, and different attacks seemed a bit much to manage. The Ifrit is clearly the best weapon of choice!

Level of difficulty: This is as much of a pro as it is a con. Sometimes you wanted to pour cold water into the CD-ROM of the PS2 just to get even with the pesky monster on the other side.

BOTTOM LINE: Great story line, tough challenge, pretty environment, great production value, very worthwhile. Can't wait to move on to 2 and 3.

The new capcom poster boy!

from the makers of the Resident Evil series comes Devil May Cry. Very few video game heros can so poeticly pull off there moves like Dante does. with the use of both a sword AND two guns, you and Dante travel through a haunted castle obliterating everything in your way. This game excels in making you feel like you are Dante. You feel like you can take down any obsticale, and over all you just feel cool!

This game's controls are some of the best that i have ever seen. You move fluidly, chop effectively, and juggle enemies to death. The two weapon combo really helps to amp up your combo strings, for example using the sword to slash the enemy into the air, then filling him with a barrage of bullets until they die.The game also has quite a nice way of leveling you up. Through collection os red souls, you can pay to level up Dante's move arsenal. Everything from a power slash to a double jump can be yours, for a price of course!

As for the storyline, it is worthy of a movie. You really feel like your accomplishing something when you run around the castle for the cause. Very few video games can pull you around like this one does, it can make you feel sad, angry, it can make you laugh, but over all it makes you feel cool!

inc onclusion, this is a must own game for anyone who has ever liked action. The controls are spot on, the storyline is amazing, and you have never felt cooler playing a videogame, BUY IT NOW!

Incredibly fun action game. Not to be missed.

Devil May Cry is a true gem in the PS2 library and deserves to be played.

The Good: Beautiful graphics and sound, incredibly fun battle system, challenging levels, mission based gameplay, multiple weapons, able to purchase skills, slick controls, cool characters, unique bosses and puzzles, secret unlockable bonuses.

The Bad: Really short, not a whole lot of replay value, annoying underwater levels, predictable storyline, really only worth a rental, some bad camera angles.

Devil May Cry is a phenomenal action game, but its hurt by its short length and lack of replay value (multiple endings definitely could've helped.) A must rent and must play for PS2 owners.

Stylish and Freaking Fun!

Devil May Cry is a great game, but I have a few gripes. But first the good things: This game has great controls, a cool character, creepy enemies (those demonic puppets scare the heck out of me), awesome weapons, a wide arrange of attacks, when slashing up evil you can change into demon form, and this game has, which every game needs, a challenge. But now we must see the bad, which shouldn;t stop you from buying this game: The worst camera system I've ever seen in my life, horrible storyline, bosses that NEVER DIE!, and all the cool moves can't be bought (unless you cheat). Conclusion: If you like hacking, slashing, and shooting your way through hoardes of enemies, this game is for you. If not, you are one messed up dude.

action,blood & gore,ultimate combate what else can u ask for

i think devil may cry is sooooo awsome! it's kinda hard but my friend and his brother beate it so i know i can. the relistic action is to die for! the characters are pretty awsome 2. they got possesed puppets, devil like grim reapers and many more. the weapons are better than anything! u get unlimited amo on any hand gun which includes shot guns, 2 hand guns gernade launchers whatever! u got a blood rattling sword with like 5000 moves that come with it not to mention the moves u can buy! good story 2. i like it cause it's not simple not impossibly hard ( even though it's the hardest game iv'e got ) it's just right. it's different than resedent evil 1 & 2 & 3 resedent evil is to ordinary DMC is really original. u can jump off walls turn into way kewl demons and kick butt! the blood and gore is under control it's not jsut every were it's just not for kids hints the M on the cover! well rent it and if u like this stuff no doubt youll like it so of course youll buy it. have fun kicking butt!!!!! i know i do.

I hope I'm not too harsh...

I've heard nothing but good reviews in regards to this game series, so I made sure to grab a copy for myself. As of now, I'm onto about the eighth mission, and I can't say I've found anything particularly gripping about it. The graphics aren't half bad for when it was created, and, sure, your ability to move past a battle depends on your own control of the joy stick and the x button (none of that turn-based garbage), but it's not particularly difficult. You can beat every battle easily as long as you duck when the monster attacks, and then run in with a flurry sword chops. The missions themselves have been rather monotonous; run back and forth through this area, place this item onto that pedestal, and take out any weak monsters that get in your way. The game also lacks much of a plot. I was rather upset to realize the entire thing is focused on staying in one castle, to stop some world-ending demon, for some chick who broke into Dante's office and tried to kill him. Uh, hello? But what's the point? Dante doesn't strike me as the self-sacrificing type; more like an adrenaline junkie. Overall, I would say that this game is worth buying only if you need to take our your frustrations on the world by shooting things and swinging around a big sword.

The most overated game of all time

5 stars for this game? Well you judge by yourself. Consider this:
The game is dark and boring, I mean really really boring, there's not much to see in this "beautiful" graphic. And it's only one location: castle. That's it, 23 missions inside the castle. HA! The game is very repetitive, just slashing and shooting the SAME enemies over and over again. The story, what story? I beat the game and I don't remember if there's any story in this game. The cutscene is only 10 SECONDS top. WARNING: AFTER PLAYING THIS GAME, YOU MAY CRY...

Satanic fun for everyone!

Devil may cry, at first glance, will blow your mind with its beautifull graphics. But dont be fooled. Gameplay IS addictive, but the games subtle charms wear off pretty damn fast. The worst part about it is how it tries so hard to be resident evil, but just doesnt cut it. And what is SUPPOSED to ne a horrer title, is anything BUT horrifying. But, in order to give justice to a title, that IS decent, Ill list the pros and cons below, to let you decide for yourself

PROS:
Eye pleasing fights
wonderfull cutscenes
beautifull graphics
Lots of blood
Cool weapons and items
DANTE KICKS MAJOR ...!

CONS:
Low environment interaction
Cheesy as all ... storyline
Repetitivness
Alot of runaround
The charactor is a regualer superman
Low replay value

Playing this Game "You May Cry" of Fun....

Well, i got this game from the demo disc taht came along with RECV. Actually i played more with the demo disc itself than RE. The graphics are stunning, the control is smooth almsot perfect, the action is direct. I could sit and kill monsters trying to find new combos for hours...This is a winning title and i recommend it for all the great gamers of the PSX 2. I will buy it myself the day it comes out...Peace All...

Best Game EVER!!! Oh Yeah
