DMC was a groundbreaking release early into the PS2's tenure who's influence can still be felt today. Bayonetta, God of War, and of course later DMC titles were shaped by the dual-wielding hero's first violent romp. Capcom deserves credit for revolutionizing, if-not inventing, the hack-and-slash genre, and DMC is an important game for that, but...
I didn't enjoy revisiting this game at all. The combat mechanics are shallow, the enemy and level designs are nothing special, the voice acting and dialogue are painful, and the dated graphics sting my eyes. DMC fails to deliver timeless art, compelling narrative, or enduring gameplay. Because of that, I cannot recommend another trip through Mundus's castle for any reason apart from perspective or nostalgia. Be that as it may, I am excited to delve further into the series, as I know later titles will fair better when held to the standards of modern media.
Most later titles.

I am not really a "New Game Plus guy." Usually, I finish a game (rarely at 100%) and move on to the next one. I absolutely do not disparage this way of playing; quite the contrary, I have played and replayed the same games for years on end (like the 10,000 hours spent on vanilla WoW, oops). Over time, I have increasingly wanted to explore new games from different eras and styles, not necessarily staying stuck in a comfort zone or the same genre. With Devil May Cry, I discovered another approach, another perspective on playing a game: some games simply become better in New Game Plus.
I still have my physical PS2 copy that I bought almost on the day it was released, thanks to the rave reviews of the time. Without the memory cards from back then, I can’t say how far I got, but I doubt I got past the first boss. If I’m not mistaken, GTA 3 was already announced, and I then spent a good part of the end of 2001 traversing the streets of Liberty City.
The game is simply incredible. Its gothic and cool style is unique and holds up from beginning to end with its very "cheesy" side. It's primarily its combat gameplay that is very addictive: it's both easy to get into but difficult to master.
I never would have thought I would like this very arcade-oriented type of game. As soon as I finished (with difficulty) the game in normal mode, I immediately started again in hard mode, something I almost never do.
Having tried to replay it with my PS2 copy, I highly recommend the HD collection, which fixes almost all the framerate issues.

Devil May Cry resulta ser un buen videojuego, su combate frenético y la variedad con la que podemos afrontar los desafíos lo vuelve muy disfrutable, sin embargo, peca de monótono en el ultimo tercio del juego, reciclando elementos anteriormente vistos, y presenta picos de dificultad irrisorios por momentos. Al final, sus méritos eclipsan por mucho sus defectos.
Видит Вергилий, я пытался.
Но грёбанные схроны в начале уровня и два жирных босса в конце - это смэрть. Я просто устал бегать. А спускаться в лёгкий уровень сложности я не буду.
В остальном игра прикольная. Побегать по готичным локациям под эмбиент. Боёвка +- может фана принести. С павуком было прикольно дратся. И с шакалом. Но когда появляются летающие мобы и боссы, то я сразу потерял интерес. Я в ДМС или как? Почему я должен бегать по карте и выстреливать нечисть из гранатамёта.
Сюжета ещё наваливают только под конец, до которого я не дошёл, но ладно.

Ok puta merdakk eu realmente tentei gostar desse jogo mas ele foi simplesmente a minha decepção mais sincera q eu tive em relação a videogame. A internet inteira trata essa porra como se fosse a melhor coisa do mundo mas no fim só é mais ou menos mesmo. A estética é maneira mas nada q já não tenham feito na época, a história é bem mediana sem contar a bosta do final q pareceu mais um final de filme fodase q passaria no sessão da tarde. Fora isso a trilha sonora e as boss fights sao legais até
