Devil May Cry

released on Aug 23, 2001

Originally intended to be the fourth installment in the Resident Evil series, Devil May Cry is an action-adventure game that introduced a host of new elements to the gaming community. Chief among them is the Stylish Rank, which grades the player's performance in combat. The game is split into Missions, which are individually scored according to various factors, such as Orbs gathered and damage taken. Additionally, Devil May Cry did away with the pre-rendered backgrounds of prior Resident Evil games in order to allow for a dynamic camera system.

The start of a revolution. I was able to bang this one out in about 3 sittings, and it honestly makes me miss shorter video games...

A little rough around the edges but once you start powering up and upgrading your skills the future games start to shine on through. There's an ankle deep story, but that's okay this game is all about being stylish and make you feel cool as fuck.

I get that it's a classic, but it's not that great nowadays.

I think the main problem with Devil May Cry is how poorly it has aged. The cameras are the worst part of the game, it’s too clunky and very annoying. There’s little variety in enemies and bosses, they’re all very easy to defeat and even repeat (sometimes you have to face the same boss up to three times). It’s a bit difficult to understand what's happening in the game at times, so the story isn’t the best, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad either. The game is short, but it also becomes repetitive and frustrating due to its poor mechanics and bad environments. Even so, for 2001, this must have been a great game, and it’s clear that it was a prototype for Resident Evil 4.

aged like cheese /pos. Good action, classic camp. Would recommend, f*** nightmare!

Finised it 4 years ago, still a good game.
