Summary

Devil May Cry 3 marks the return of the world’s toughest demon slayer, Dante, in a riveting new game marked by complex storylines, striking graphics and unadulterated stylistic action. As a prequel to the first Devil May Cry, the story unfolds an earlier chapter in Dante’s history, to a fateful clash with his evil twin brother. In addition to its characteristic fast paced action, the game increases the intensity with a new "style" system. It adds more depth to gameplay and allows players to choose between short-range, long-range, defensive or evasive play styles. Each system has its own range of features and players can power up their favorite style for increased special attack abilities. Special Edition feature: Now play as Dante’s twin Vergil! [Capcom]

games(TM)

There’s more new content than you’d usually find in a Special Edition. [May 2006, p.128]

79

PC Gamer UK

It's hardly the prettiest game ever, and the story is laden with nonsense, but it's a game with a racing pulse - energising, like the best action games are supposed to be. [Oct 2006, p.90]

72

PC Format

Just don't blame us for the clumsy controls, dodgy camera angles and ultra-frustrating gameplay. [Sept 2006, p.104]

71

GameSpot

Though it's like a fish out of water on the PC, this straight port of a great, gruelingly fast and intense PlayStation 2 action adventure game can still be exciting.

PC Zone UK

DMC3 has a few conversion issues - low-res textures and fiddly joypad setting-up - and lack of quicksaves can be infuriating when you have to begin a boss battle all over again, but overall it's infernal fun. [Oct 2006, p.78]

67

PC Gamer

With inexplicable control schemes, and unhelpful camera, irritating bugs, and mangy-looking textures, there's nothing remarkable about the sloppy job Capcom did porting the budget-priced action-adventure from the Playstation 2. [May 2007, p.70]

58

IGN

As great an upgrade as it was for console owners, its awful performance on even the most juiced of machines and craptacular controls do it terrible, terrible harm.

Just say no to half-assed porting, folks. [Mar 2007, p.69]

This is one of my overall favorite games of all time. I can see why the PS2 version is superior. But this is still awesome!

Leinad 177 gave it a10:
Best game ever...I seriously want to slap though idiots who gave it a bad rating.

Aleksander S. gave it a0:
This game is useless! I am sure it's great on the PS2 but this port is just fucking useless! Don't buy this crap for your PC!

Jannik V. gave it a10:
Great geame with great fun! I love the fighting system and if you have a analog controller you won't have any difficulties with the controls.

gamemaster 06 gave it a9:
Screw the thing that controls are wierd. But the game kicks ass, its very creative and interactive to play. If you like games with rad slashing ... get it now!!!

Neil P. gave it a9:
Ive never had the opportunity to play this games on the ps2. Its the first game in the series i have played and i am absolutly loving it. I think its great!!

Marcus V. gave it a1:
This game set 2 new personal records with me: I've never uninstalled a game before even applying the most recent patch until now, and I've never thrown any of my original game discs away until now. Absolute trash.
