Video Game Reviews of Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition
Customer Review: Passable
Summary: 2 Stars
As a series Devil May Cry started and peaked with the original Devil May Cry video game for the PS2. Devil May Cry 3 and DMC 3: Special Edition follow the same general formula as the original game. Plenty of combat laden areas and cool looking weapons, a hero and an antagonist seeking power. The storyline of the series has never been the main focus and that is apparent in this game. Characters are brought in almost at random and with cloudy reasoning for their motivations.
What has always set the DMC games apart from the rest is the action packed sequences and boss battles. While DMC 3 has plenty of both you'll end up lamenting purchasing the game due to it's definitively tired controls, abysmal voice acting, broken camera system and poor storyline.
In deciding to make DMC 3 a prequel to DMC, Capcom presents a much younger version of Dante. In an effort to project the younger version Capcom also made him somewhat immature. While you may argue that this decision is appropriate you'll quickly realize in playing the game that Dante resembles a hyperactive adolescent boy. The sequences in between combat are laughable as any time Dante opens his mouth it's an embarrassment to the talented folks at Capcom.
More than any other complaint - the terrible controls, broken camera system, dated formula - it is the voice acting that prevented me from liking the game. The script is cheesy at times and the voice actors are always unbelievable. Stay away.
