Introduction
When Devil May Cry was released for the Playstation 2 in 2001, it was a resounding success. The action was stylish, and the combat was extremely fun. Anticipation and excitement was high for a sequel that could be as good as, or even better than, the original.
But when Devil May Cry 2 was released in 2003, it was a massive disappointment. Completely missing everything that was so great about the original, the game was a completely mediocre affair, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of gamers. If there was to be a third game, it had to be fantastic to make up for this.
Enter Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, released in 2005. The game was built from the ground up to be complex, varied, challenging, and most of all, fun. The action was more intense than before, and the weapon variety was astonishing. Devil May Cry 3 was not only a billion times better than 2, but it was arguably better than the original, as well.
A prequel to the original game, the story follows the half-human/half-demon hybrid, Dante, and his inevitable clash with his twin brother, Vergil. What is Vergil's agenda? Who will be the final victor? And who is this mysterious Lady?
