Jan 26, 20138Uno de los primeros juegos que probé en la PS2. Realmente lo disfrute mucho, es uno de los H'n'S que mas me han gustado, por su jugabilidad tan interesante y su historia intensa.

Jul 14, 20119A devil Hunter that never gets touched by any means? well thats Dante, he's a badass, and kills with skills and style. The story is simple, with a lot of fun, the combos feels solid and responsive. I wish they do a HD remake for the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360.

Oct 3, 20109This game was very refreshing when it came out, very few game had the style and flair this game came packed with. Too bad so many developers have tried to copy this formula unsuccessfully and degenerated the genre over the years.

Mar 3, 20137Devil may cry is the definition of an stylish action game. It has good graphics and great action but could have been better. Devil May Cry 3 is way better.

Apr 23, 20129One of the best game that PS2 can offer. Cool story, good characters and a awesome soundtrack. The graphics is like a game for PS1 and the gameplay has some bugs.
-
Sep 1, 201010Great game a True classic in a industry clouted with crap. and to the guy who said he beat it in 6 hours try normal or hard dont rag on it b/c u played on baby skill level. one game i'll never give up
-
Dec 6, 201110Very fun and old school game. it still is the best in the series and the game has lots of soul. Very nice environments, character and enemy designs, good music, really cant go wrong with this game.
-
D.Jan 1, 20026Good Graphix and game play, but.. not near enough devil trigger weapons, and WAY to easy, I beat this game in 2 days or about 6 hours. I like a little something more complex than get item put in slot.. over and over and over, a freggin baby could beat this game no problem.
-
-
BlackDragonApr 5, 200210Insane is the first word that strikes me. Insane moves, insane enemies, insane difficulty... Unless you unlock the secret "Automatic Easy" mode and plays through that first, you're in for one hell of a tough game.
-
-
TarikT.Oct 22, 200110The game has crappy dialog but it really kicks ass. You play as an investigator named dante fighting evil. When you are equipped with guns and swords you are unstoppable.
-
-
AnonymousMCJan 30, 200210Great story line, very outstanding 3D graphics and the moves of Dante... Man, they totally knock my teeth out!! Too easy you say, try Dante must die mode and see if you still think it's TOO easy!! If you own a PS2 but don't have this game, you better go get one or you might aswell kill yourself~~

JaniFeb 6, 200210This one of the best action games out there.

-
DanteS.Mar 7, 200210This is among the 3 best games I've ever played. A solid Contender to MGS2. Take the fighting from THE MATRIX, Some Jhon Woo Camera angles, then put Castlevania's enviroments in 128 bits graphics, some metal/hard rock mind blowin' soundtrack, and the you have it. DEVIL MAY CRY.

ElmoFeb 1, 20029What a great game. It looks like a dream, plays like one too, but feels like a nightmare. The more you get powers the better you feel about this game. It realy is worth owning.

EmpyriaN6Feb 3, 200210This game is awesome! I have no idea what kind of retard can say that it's virtually unplayable...You will have learnt a lot of stuff in a mere 20 minutes, and you will be expanding your knowledge as you play. The graphics are astounding and so is the sound. The camera may be a bit annoying sometimes, but this only happens seldomly and it does not ruin the gameplay.

CoolDudeApr 3, 200310Brillllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!! but play DMC2 as it is so much better.
-
-
NaomiM.Nov 1, 200410Lets Rock Baby! This has to be one of the best games of all time! I have never played a game that made me feel like i was such a bad ass mother f***er!! I love the smooth movements and the way you use guns and a sword. I love everything about this game ( even Dante). This is definetly a must have game!!
-
-
DizzyS.Apr 30, 200410This is one of the greatest games ever made and I don't impress easily the only bad thing is that the franchise was slayed by devil may cry 2 Imean 2 wasnt bad but it wasnt good either capcom needs to bring it all back with 3 I just hpoe they can pull it off because with a game franchise this good it cant just go to waste DMC Rocks.
-
-
RyanM.May 7, 200410Though, now it may be older, it is still an excellent adventure that will leave you all craving more. And sadly the sequel doesn't offer that.

JonathanF.Mar 31, 20059By far the best PS2 action game I've played in a while. Although the camera can get a little frustrating at times, Dante attacks with such style and grace that you sometimes think he is one with the sword. It gets a little hard at times . . . but you can forgive it as Dante is just SO DAMN COOL ! ! !
-
-
RussH.Feb 3, 20069Good game..the camara sucks though, stuff attacks you and you can't see it half the time. or you attack things and don't know what you're attacking. Everything else is fun though.
-
-
AdamW.Jan 20, 20088Awesome game, but very low replay value. The cut scenes and Dante's quips are both quite funny and bad ass. Definitely worth a rental. The worst thing about it is that the game can be quite hard for the casual gamer.
-
-
MaxP.Nov 10, 200110Holly f... dat was thge best--hardest f.... game I've ever played in my life....it makes Max Payne look like sh.. iz gotz to pickz upz a playstation 2 just for dmc--grand theft auto 3 and all the other f..... amazing games for PS2.
-
-
AnonymousMCNov 1, 200110Simply the best game of all time! Everything about this game is absolutely phenomenal. The gameplay is superb, and overall it makes the Resident Evil Series look simply pathetic in comparison. For the one person I know who thought this game was too easy: Piss Off! You're a damn fool, and so is anyone who doesn't love this game.
-
-
[Anonymous]Dec 16, 20010I was TOTALLY turned off by the extremely show-stopping camera angles. This is a virtually unplayable game to my opinion. I feel so sorry to have bought that one!
-
-
CharlesG.Oct 22, 200110This is the best game I have ever played. The graphics are just amazing. I can't believe how much fun it is. This game is so fun, amazing cannot describe it.
-
-
BrandonM.Oct 26, 200110Can you say finally? We all have been waiting for a game such as DMC for quite some years now. The combos rock the matrix style slowdown in mid-air shooting just makes any fan of action movies drool. I say why should I go rent or watch a movie, when I can sit down and play one? p.s. there had better be a sequel.
-
-
EnderW.Oct 28, 20019I think that this is one of the best PS2 games to date. But this game is so hard it will give u gray hair or an ulcer, the reason I didnt give this a 9 is beacuse there are no cheats to help you.
-
-
LoddeJan 11, 20029Okay, maybe this game is not perfect, but DMC is an awesome game. I've played tons of games, and this one definitely is one of the most exciting to play (especially when in mind-altered states). Screw what everyone is saying about camera angles and storyline, stop knitpicking you pansies! DMC is a necessary action packed addition to any true PS2 gamers's library.
-
-
MichelleW.Jan 16, 20029I gave this game a 9 because it has a lot of action and it really is a great game.

AnonymousMCFeb 17, 20029tru, the camera angles make it tricky, but DMC is NOT hard. it should take u less than 5 hrs to beat the game if ur good enough. &that's as a first-timer.
Next Generation is stupid. this game is definitely not too difficult & u can beat it within a few hrs -
-
SerraApr 19, 20029Dead Stuff! Muh-ha-ha...DIE! Extremely cool game. Short though. But I so dearly love watchin' blood fly. Not all girls are opposed to violence, after all. I eat dead things.
-
-
MikeyC.Jun 18, 20029Really fast pace my kinda game but it was to short. i beat it two times the first three days i had it. i would have gave it a 7 but he looks like anthony kiedis from the red hot chili peppers the greatest rockstar of all time so ill give it a 9.

DOMINIQUEB.Mar 13, 200310THIS Game is one one the best games i ever played. man once you play it you will play over and over again. Take my word for it.
-
-
BenN.Mar 15, 20036A good game at the end of the day, consider buying it but it does get a little boring and you could be playing it all day thinking it's the best game and before you know it you don't wanna play it anymore, also there is boss after boss which gets very annoying knowing all your hard work in beating them is rewarded with an even harder boss, very annoying!
-
-
JanuJun 15, 200310This game rocks!! I just love this game because you just slash and chop and rip monsters' brains out!! The gameplay is very good and the grpahics are awesome!! I recommend this to anyone who owns a PS2!! Rent it first, though, because you don't have to listen to me....

FernandoC.Jan 26, 20049Spanish comment: Excelente juego. Entretenido, buena historia, realmente vale la pena aun cuando tiene bastante tiempo de hecho....
-

DaveC.Mar 18, 200410Awesome game graphics = 9 gameplay = 10 storyline = 8 sound= 10 overall = 10/10 this game is cool! cool replay value on dante must die mode and loads of extra missions you must be mad or not good enough to cut it as a demon slayer if you dont want to get this game! worth every penny! :P

AdlaiAug 4, 200410This game really rocks. The graphics is awesome, the fights are really cool(you gotta believe me!!), and the story is different from other games (a demon protagonist, cool right)
-
-
UmmmSep 9, 200410This game kicks ass really really hard.
-
-
AlexNov 15, 20059while almost no game is perfect, Devil May Cry sure comes damn close. awesome ahead-of-its-time visuals, fast paced game play, and plenty of extra sutff to do (such as the secret missions and psudo-mini-games). one of, if not THE best game on PS2.
-
-
SigurdL.Mar 5, 20058It's an absolute blast of a game in allmost every way. Although the camera can get annoying sometime, but that is not important when the game is so good. The graphics is perfect in everyway. The difficult level is to hard on normal, that's why it gets two points down with the annoying camera.
-
-
MichaelV.May 14, 200510This is some tight s@#!$ homie. It's a bit short though. ( I beat it in about 6 hours.) It's definitley a worthy purchase. It only costs $9.00! I really enjoyed this game and after you beat it you can go back with every item and move you had when you beat it. Now, if you'll excuse me im gonna go and play through it again.
-
-
DavidB.Nov 2, 200610I love this game and it gets funnier every time you beat it. Yeah it gets easier, but the bosses get harder and that is waht makes it fun.

Cheese3Nov 11, 200110The monsters in Devil May Cry are very imaginative and very fun to kill. The idea of having a sword and a gun is genious.

GregE.Nov 13, 20017Horrible camera hinders an otherwise flawless game.

StevenC.Nov 19, 2001103rd favorite, and can you pleas send me some codes, really need it for blue creek apartment. Thanks, Steven.

FaithMoonStoneNov 27, 200110I would give this game a 100 but i can`t... this gave is so cool. You get different guns and swords and you go through missions and you get more life by getting blue stones... this is an awesome game! There better be a sequel!!!
-
-
BrandonW.Nov 4, 200110This game is just plain fun. There are a few issues with camera and difficulty, but they rarely detract from the overall experience.
-
-
PatrickM.Oct 17, 200110Wow. Devil May Cry is a shining example of what next-generation gaming is all about. Beautiful graphics, tight control, and clever game design. If you own a PS2, buy this game. If not, this may be the reason to pick one up!
-
-
MichaelQ.Dec 14, 200110Add I feel Mr. Tickle should be beat. I've only played the demo, and I couldn't get enough. All must play this game, and THIS game has turned into the reason I really, really want a PS2.

JamesN.Jul 21, 200210I liked that game it's Adventure & Action. I like it because you have to figure things out. It's like a mystery you find things and you put something in and something starts to happen there would be some new creature and you have to fight them then can get passed them. I was wondering are you going make Devil May Cry 2? If they did I would rent it or buy then quickly.

UterMay 27, 20034One of video gamings greatest mysteries is why this DMC is actually liked by some people. I really don't get it. I bought the game, didn't like it, beat it anyway, and then sold it.

VahagnM.Dec 15, 200410Best game ever.
-
-
MikeDec 7, 200410One of the best games i have played. the story line may be short but the action is awesome. one of my fav things to do in that game is kill the final boss.
-
-
SteveW.Sep 13, 20048An Awesome Game That You Can Play Again And Again And Never Get Bored Of Altho No Game Is Perfect And I Have To Say That This Game Is Way To Hard Its Like Normal Is Hard And Easy-auto Is Normal Geez And The Camara Gets Anoying When Fightin Nightmare Especially Kool Game , To Hard!

ShauniJ.May 12, 200510It is a great game but needed more secrets and unlockables. other than that it is enjoyable. (Great when you had a bad day,you can unleash your anger) :)
-
-
TitaniumDragonNov 23, 200710Possibly the best game ever made. This game is simply amazing; great control, great graphics, great gameplay, and the perfect difficulty level. It was a work of genius and everyone who owns a PS2 should own it.

DonnieF.Nov 21, 20019Aside from some odd camera angles, this game is probably the best game out there for ps2, nothing can come close to it.
-
-
ShawnJ.Dec 16, 20019DMC is amazing! The story line/plot is very cool and pulls you deeper into the gameplay. I gave DMC a 9 for the simple fact that they don't have a sequel out... I need my fix!
-
-
Dantesparda416Nov 11, 200210I give this game an 11 out of a 10 it is perfect in every way. awesome graphics, cool ass music, dante can do awsome techniques like changing into a devil. the one draw back is that you cant change into sparda in regular mode........oh if anyone finds devil may cry midis please e-mail it to me. dont forget devil may cry 2 is coming out this winter dont miss this one.

With the exception of a rather throwaway plot, absolutely no part of Devil May Cry escapes the realm of coolness superior. [Nov 2001, p.152]
-
A groundbreaking title that takes the genre in a new and exciting direction. Capcom has once again managed to breathe life into a genre that had been stuck in something of a rut of late.
-
I don't say such things lightly, but this is easily one of the best games I've ever played. Everywhere I look, I find more things I want to praise about this title.
