A great game that most should give a try.Vergil has few moves and no cut scenes of his own except for the beginning, making it seem that the developers just tacked it on for more value. Dante is even cockier but some of his lines just seem so tacky. Still very awesome but the plot wasn't that thick or developed. Definitely worth a buy.

This game is the best devil may cry yet. And at such a low price whats not to like about it.

A FANTASTIC game. Very entertaining, game play is very fast, and there is a variety of skills that can be learnt and used efficiently. The game allows the player to use Dante's twin brother, Vergil and all his devil arms and his only skill- "Dark Slayer". The games graphics is very realistic. The cut scenes are very interesting and makes the player more enthusiastic to continue after that particular cut scene. The gameplay is very speedy and entertaining. There are various difficulties, allowing the gamer to test how good he is in this game. Players would probably take 2 or 3 months if they want to complete the game 100 percent including all the secret missions found in various levels. Also, like I said before, there are different difficulty levels. Overall, this game is the BEST!!!… Expand

One of THE best games the ps2 has to offer! THE number one badass in the history of video gaming in his third role as the demon-hunting badass, the beginning of the history of devil may cry (when the devil's tower rises in the middle of L.A., how dante's twin brother becomes the black angel, and when dante first invades hell), and a demon-ass-kicking bonanza with beastin graphics!!! The ONLY reason this game got a 9 instead of a perfect score is because of the number of missions (there could have been more missions when invading hell).… Expand

Outstanding to be a reharsed edition. It fixes original's problems (in particular difficulty) and the chance to play like Vergil is better though he has limited gun move. The inclusion of palace of blood is very good. Other issues, i think, are to uncover in a very uncoherent and apparent lack of variety playing Vergil mode. 9/10 no major faults.

This game has to be the best out of all of them!! The graphics is amazing and the dialogue in the scenes is amazing and hilarious! Dante is my most fav. Char. but Lady at a close second. The games in order may have went from brilliant to lousy to absolutely spectacular, but this is an absolute must have game!!

One of the most underrated games of 2005. While certain other big-name games flaunted more cinematic style and more accessible play, DMC3 quietly raised the bar for depth, challenge and freedom. Reviewers liked GoW; real gamers liked DMC3. Do yourself a favor by picking this up, playing as hard as you can (Yellow continue mode, and do not buy continues!), then after a week or two of thinking you might be good, go download some FAQs on the game. You'll be amazed at how much depth exists, that you haven't even scratched. I can't give this crazy action game a higher recommendation. If you own a PS2, take advantage of your privilege and buy this critically underappreciated masterpiece.… Collapse

Devil may cry 3 is slightly better then the original, and infinately better then the second one, which was as painful as stapling your eyelids shut. The special edition has very few extras and you're kinda wasting your money on this if you already have Dante's Awakening. Having said that, if you dont already possess the non-special-edition it will probably be one of the best purchases you'll ever make for your PS2.… Expand

Great game at a cheap price.

this is one of the best games out there in the world today folks. With its insane speed, over 20different style moves, good music, and storyline too, it is a must to get for any hardcore gamer's collection. I personally played and beat all the modes and levels of DMC3 and think it is hard for the avergae player. But it is possible for the average gamer to beat. Plus with the release of the special edition to show Capcom's respect and graitude to us the gamers, they added a hell-in-a-handbasket bonus features like unlocking and playing as Vergil. Vergil, i think, is better than Dante with his Yomato sword and his noble and honorable fighting, i would play the entire game as him only on any diffulculty. If you enjoyed the first 3 versions of the Devil May Cry Series, than go and get the Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition today!… Expand

One of the most awesome games ever on the PS2. Seriously. Vergil is great, though they should have made more moves for him. Dante also rocks. You should but this.

Amazing game. Incredible visuals for a PS2 game, both artistic and technical. The gameplay is really addictive and super-intense just like the franchise is known for. The weapons are all great. The amount of actions and attacks is impressive and very varied. Interesting story too. Seriously, this must be one of the best action game and franchise - except for the 2nd one - ever, up there somewhere along God of War and Ninja Gaiden, personally it's my favourite one but I know a lot of people like the other two better.… Expand

Devil May Cry 3 plays out to be a very good game, the plot is interesting although all you ever do is fight through the whole game if not solve puzzles as well. The combat controls are great as you can effortlessly chain gun and swords combos for devastating attacks. The graphics are good and the voice ancting and sound are all pretty good as well. The Vergil version that allows you to play as Vergil is not all that great because it is merely you playing through all the same levils as Vegil and not Dante and he (Vegil) does not have as much variability as Dante does so Vergil is kind of dissapointing. The only flaws are that the story seems kind of pathcy but other than that it's good. Overall Devil May Cry 3 is a great game that is definately worth playing for the fun of it.… Expand

Great story, Great music, Great deep fighting mechanics, Great Characters, Fantastic gameplay, A lot of diversity of weapons, combos, styles and strategies, The best bosses ever on a game, It's not a retarded button mash game, you gotta learn, be patient and actually have focus to play it, Very Challenging. What else could you want? One of the best games ever. I don't get why some people don't like the game, maybe it's too hardcore for them, or they just like playing pointless retarded button mash games. DMC3 is one of the best games EVER. The Special Edition has a lot of nice additions, like the Gold checkpoint system, playing as Vergil, the lower difficulties were readjusted (You can't **** about the game being too hard now, the Easy mode is now A LOT easy), A new boss, New Costumes... It is really awesome.… Expand

Have you ever had such a peculiar feeling that you are playing a game that was made entirely and especially for you, in shape and execution ? A game able to earn a special place in your heart by smartly adopting almost all of your personal taste in terms of gameplay,action scenes, dialogue, characters and a... god f#cking good... soundtrack ? No ?! But i had, and that game is called Devil May Cry 3. It's a game that did what 99% of action games (including Bayonetta) failed and still failing miserably to make: it estabilishes a strong connection with the player. I love heavy metal/hard rock so Dante's style of an arrogant and rebel teenager with a hell of a good taste in music fits my taste like a glove. He's also badass and has amusing quotes. Even the jokes and funny situations on this games have good taste and will actually make you laugh. The action scenes are breathtaking and totally awesome to see. The other scenes have interesting dialogue and some character's comments are definitely worth of paying attention to. Great cutscenes and great characters but it doesn't ends there: the gameplay is superb. Fight like a maniac by mixing dual-wielding gunslinger with swords. Perform crazy and cool movements like walking on the walls, killingspree while riding on an enemy, make a "shower of bullets" or a "ceiling fan" movement with your sword - it doesn't appears to make any sense for you here, but that's how i can describe it . Before you ask, yes, it's crazy and cool as you can imagine it by reading this review. All this fun plated in a badass soundtrack, i couldn't ask for more. By defeating bosses, you unlock new weapons and you can also be a demon for a short period of time (recommended for boss battles). It's possible to buy new items, combos, maximaze some aspect of your guns or weapons and even change "styles" of gameplay. So there is definitely a RPG vein right there: you prefer using guns for combat, make upgrade for your guns by collecting red orbs and then switch for "gunslinger" as your style; or you may want to invest more on defense, in that situation you may want to choose the "trickster" style of combat. The difficulty is very well-balanced: the tough guys will have tough battles, bosses will have good challenge and ordinary enemies will have some middle challenge (i played it in normal difficulty). If there was something to complain about the game it would be definately be the scenarios. Most of the scenarios are excessively dark and with lack of detail. Some are uncreative or rather boring. Also too much litte variety in combat soundtrack and the story isn't much deep as it could have been. However, i can't deny the incredibly satisfying and remarkable experience i had with this game. A worthy deserving of a 9,5 score. I will raise it to 10 instead of giving it a 9 because i love this game so much that i strongly recommend it even after admiting its (small) flaws. 10 does not means that DMC 3 is perfect, far from it. It means that this is an experience that you cannot miss.… Expand

This is DMC3, but with Vergil and Bloody Palace added in. This is the version you should get, those added extras are pretty cool. Playing as vergil is awesome, you just play through the main game with him instead of Dante. He has his trademark moves from his boss battles, and a couple of new ones. He is highly aggressive - though he does have evasion in the form of teleportation. The thing that's best about him is that he does feel very different to Dante, it means you have to play differently, and master him separately. But here's my DMC3 review: What a brilliant game! Extremely hard, enemies coming from all over the place, slick 60 frames per second, tonnes of boss battles. The system is fair and responsive, everything is programmed correctly to make a fine experience. It has six fighting styles, so you choose one at the start of each mission. Trickster is for dodging, royalguard is for intercepting and stopping attacks, swordmaster is for showing off, gunslinger is for making guns more stylish at a distance, quicksilver is for slowing down time, and doppelganger means you can split into 2! Combine this with the fact that you have 5 swords and 5 guns - and you can take 2 of each of those into each mission, and you have... 600 combinations in total! Keep experimenting and you will never get bored. This is one of the best games on the PS2 and stands up today.… Expand
