-------------
Shinji Mikami, the creator and producer of the Resident
Evil (
/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=video-games-uk&field-keywords=resident%20evil/%24%7B0%7D
) series, and Hideki Kamiya, the director of Resident Evil 2,
have teamed up once again with Devil May Cry . This time, the duo
has created a fast-paced game that's one of the best translations
of classic 2-D action in a 3-D world. 2000 years ago the Devil
Emperor threatened to conquer humanity, but was stopped by a
benign devil knight. The emperor was imprisoned, but now
threatens to escape. It's up to the knight's half-breed son,
Dante, to follow in his her's footsteps and defeat the Devil
Emperor once again.
In addition to being a fine sman, Dante is equally adept
with s. In the first half of the game, players slash and shoot
their way through. After acquiring a different weapon, the focus
changes to close combat. Weapons can be upgraded and new attacks
can be learned, adding to the game's variety. As a whole, the
action is immense and flows smoothly. A few things impede it
though. During fights with bosses and multiple enemies, the fixed
camera angles can get frustrating. The in-game text also scrolls
painfully slowly.
Graphically, this is one of the best-looking games Capcom has
ever published, and that's saying something considering its
impressive visuals in Resident Evil. The hard-rock styled music
is nothing to write home about, though. The voice acting is
strong, but there's not much of it, which is a shame since the
interesting setting would have made for some great storytelling.
However, the focus here is fast and furious action, and this game
elevates it to an art form. --Raymond M Padilla, .com

Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
The lead character in Devil May Cry, Dante is a dark
figure shrouded in mystery. Legend has it that 2000 years ago, in
the depths of hell, a demon sman awoke to justice and
rebelled against the devil, waging a one-man war in support of
the human world. Two thousand years later, Dante, a private
investigator of the supernatural, realises that the devil is
rallying to rise again against mankind. How does Dante fit into
this gothic puzzle? Deep within his blood lies the power of
ancient demons and as his power builds he transforms into a demon
state where he can inflict unearthly powers on the retched souls
he encounters. As Dante continues his adventure he will find
powerful weaponry, including dual-pistols and s; he will
discover powerful s, each possessing various elemental
powers. This devil hunter will lead players into the fantastic
dark world as his destiny is played out in a gothic battle of
good against evil. If Dante is successful, the Devil May Cry.
As he seeks revenge for the past, Dante will face many evil
beings, including:
* Demonic marionettes. These low-class demons put their souls
into emotionless marionettes. These creatures normally are slow
but can move surprisingly fast when attacking humans.
* Death. These beings encompass death and are similar to grim
reapers. Death beings can hover in the air and travel through
walls. They use over-sized scissors or a scythe as their weapons
of choice.
* Phantoms. These high-level demons rule all other demons in the
old castle. They are huge, ugly creatures that resemble spiders
with a dark aura. These creatures are more intelligent than
humans and are capable of fierce magic using fire or
ground-shaking power.
