Shinji Mikami, the creator and producer of the Resident Evil games, and Hideki Kamiya, the director of Resident Evil 2, have teamed up once again. This time, the duo has created a fast-paced game that's one of the best translations of classic 2-D action in a 3-D world. Two thousand years ago the Devil Emperor threatened to conquer humanity, but was stopped by a benign devil knight. The emperor was imprisoned, but now threatens to escape. It's up to the knight's half-breed son, Dante, to follow in his father's footsteps and defeat the Devil Emperor once again. In addition to being a fine swordsman, Dante is equally adept with guns. In the first half of the game, players slash and shoot their way through. After acquiring a different weapon, the focus changes to close combat. Weapons can be upgraded and new attacks can be learned, adding to the game's variety. As a whole, the action is immense and flows smoothly. A few things impede it, however. During fights with bosses and multiple enemies, the fixed camera angles can get frustrating. The in-game text also scrolls painfully slow. Graphically, this is one of the best-looking games Capcom has ever published, and that's saying something considering its impressive visuals in Resident Evil. The hard-rock-style music is nothing to write home about, though. The voice acting is strong, but there's not much of it, which is a shame, as the interesting setting would have made for some great storytelling. However, the focus here is fast and furious action, and this game elevates it to an art form. Parents should note that this game is gratuitously violent and is not recommended for anyone under 18. --Raymond M. Padilla Pros: - Outstanding controls
- Topnotch graphics
- One of the best menu systems ever
Cons: - Camera angles get troublesome
- Fantastic setting not fully exploited
- Only 7 to 12 hours of gameplay
Amazon.ca Product Description
Play as Dante, half-man, half-demon, who's armed with a sword and a wide array of other firearms. You will have full, ultra-responsive 3-D control of Dante as you combat with fist, sword, gun, and a stunning variety of martial arts moves that recall Hong Kong action films. You will have at your disposal many inventive moves: use your sword to pop your enemy into the air, for example, then juggle him with blasts from your gun. You will have unprecedented control of the direction and force of your sword and other weapons. You will battle marionette butchers, carnivorous lizardmen, and scissor-wielding wraiths in a series of responsive, fully realized environments, such as dilapidated courtyards, hanging gardens, twisted mirror realities, ghost ships, and caves.

In the eye-candy overload department, Devil May Cry deserves the spotlight. Masterminded by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, this action-adventure title fits in the gothic mythical swordsman vs. big, bad creatures slot. Though the premise doesn't break any barriers, the quality of the graphics and animations rivets one's attention to the screen. Dante is a half-man, half-demon with one hell of a persona. Packing his father's powerful sword, Dante slashes through the gorgeous levels with a bevy of incredible moves--flips, leaps, and rolls a la Neo from The Matrix. For greater firepower, Dante rips through baddies with dual pistols and shotguns. The action is fast, very furious, and incredibly smooth. And when Dante collects enough orbs to transform into a devil, the arching blue energy field he creates leaves you breathless at the true capabilities of next-generation gaming systems. With gameplay like this, who needs the linear confines of the movie theater? --Eric Twelker See more of Amazon.com's E3 Preview.

 Breathtaking March 11, 2006
Few games have the graphics or game play that Devil May Cry has! This game was very unique in its style. Dante became a house hold name! This is an incredible game for action, adventure and feeling like a HERO!
A new genre of its own September 14, 2005
I give this game 5 star because it created a new style of game. Survival action gothic horror fighting game. It's totally original and groundbreaking in a lot of areas. The graphics are great a little grainy but very solid. The visual style however is unlike anything I have seen. Its dark and evil and F*%$ cool. The controls are almost flawless. Camera angles are a little strange @ first, but u get used to them quickly. The combat is totally badass the first time I have seen swords, shotguns, and magic mixed together. That's not all the sound design is amazing some of the best music and sound ever in a video game. Freaking badass.

i really liked this game... i had alot of fun but the abrupt camera angles made some of the boss battles much more frustrating than they had to be... it's worthy of all the praise graphic wise... and for the most part it's pretty fun... when your lining up your target and suddenly the camera angle changes and theres a pillar in the way... i understand this is a really challenging problem for 3-d game designers but you would think by now someone would get it right! i can't finish it... it gives me a headache.
 Fluid Gameplay... Weak Ending... July 9, 2004
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I purchased this game I was hoping for a great Resident Evil Like game. After all this game was by the creators of Resident Evil. The Introduction cut scene was awesome and so is a few cutscenes. The whole greatness of the game is how fluid the gameplay is. You just feel awesome playing as the Badass Half Demon half human Dante. He has awesome moves, awesome weapons, awesome techniques! What more can you ask in gameplay where you can Jump like gravity barely affects you, fight like as if superman cant even beat you. The graphics are amazing but not incredibly amazing as other Capcom titles. Now what is the downside you say?! First off there is way too many enemies that keep coming back. Secondly the bosses later on are incredibly (well not impossible) and your best chances are to waste your red orbs on holy water, and devil stars. Lastly the gameplay is so short and the ending sucks as hell! I mean common when somebody dies let them die! Plus what kind of name change is Devil Never Cry?! That sounds retarded... Overall I'll give this A- or even a B+. Go buy the game now since it's cheap! I really want to play the second game but after all teh bad reviews about the storyline...well lets say if the storyline here sux then I'm scared!! Oh well enough said! Gameplay rox, Ending scene sux! Game play: HIgh
Controls: medium
Cutscenes: Medium (Ending scene drops it down)
Bosses: low
The new capcom poster boy! July 8, 2004

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!
