Devil May Cry 3 - First Impressions by Mischief Maker 03/02/2005, 6:52pm PST
It's good. Really good. And hard. Really hard.

If anything, the game is even more over the top than DMC1. Basic enemies are at least as tough as Ninja Gaidens' and come at you usually in packs of 6 or more. So far DMC3 doesn't have NG's problem of every enemy pretty much fighting the same way. Instead of puppets, the basic enemy is the killer from "scream" with a scythe, so it's a step up. The first big boss at the end of level 3 is absolutely gigantic, constantly switches its moves throughout the fight, and has been kicking my ass on a pretty consistent basis.

The moves are much flashier and feel way brutaler. The combo system is much more straightforwards than DMC1's comparatively obscure one. Any worries about the "style" system screwing up the mixture of gun and swordplay from DMC1 can be put to rest. All they do is add a few extra moves to your basic repetoire.

So far no preachy plot. Dante's even more of a wisecracking badass making fun of giant fanged demons to their face than before. Losing the shirt is about as far as they went in bishieing him up.

Reccomended if you want a huge fucking challenge. If you thought Ninja Gaiden was too tough, don't bother.
