    Althought the DMC3SE is not compatibile with all gamepads, this is the best action game for a PC game that I have play it, with a story and actions for every battle that makes you want to play again for over and over.

    Really good game. I enjoy watching dante make all those SUPER COOL moves. The argument is pretty cool too and it helps to understand DMC 1. A lot of new content and 1 new character make of this game a gem that you must play.

    Even now the game with help of some actions looks great on HD screens, the OST is simply one of the best and the story is really cool. And the fighting - ummmmm, it is simply PERFECT!!!

    Great game, a little aggrieved when porting to the PC in terms of graphics and buggy gamepad, but with the ability to use third-party software, control is easily adjusted.

    Very Cool Game! This was the first time I played DMC and utterly enjoyed it. Dante's so cool and so stylish. Though the bosses are a bit tough but Overall this game Deserves real credit. Great Job Capcom I hope DMC 4 is just as god as this one.

    This is one of my overall favorite games of all time. I can see why the PS2 version is superior. But this is still awesome!

    This is a terrible port, alright. But it's terrible on one way only: The controls. If you have a gamepad, you're ready to go. If you google how to config your controller and use xpadder to make your controller's triggers work, there is absolutely NO problem. Also, always play on 4:3 resolutions, and if your screen is too big, use windowed mode. Well then, with this in mind, the game is theThis is a terrible port, alright.

So yeah, it's EPIC, One of the best hack'n'slash games EVER made. Good story, awesome cutscenes, the game is hard as hell and has the best bosses I've ever seen in a game. It's not a retarded button mash game, it actually requires skill, focus and reflexes, you have to learn how to play it to be good at it. It deserves a 10/10, but... Even if the problems can be fixed, they're still there, I can't give a 10/10 to a port with some problems. 9/10 is the perfect score for this game on PC. The PS2 version is an easy 10/10.… Expand

    История становления Дантеса или гачи разборки семьи Спарды на 10 часов комбо секса.

    Из минусов: - предпоследний босс файт, фикально-пурпурная трешь масса приправленная подсосной механикой Вергилия в удел кастрирования самого Данте. - лвл дизайн, периодически растягивает игру и троллит страдающих географическим кретинизмом. Из плюсов: - сюжет, сказ о великой любви двух братьев и    История становления Дантеса или гачи разборки семьи Спарды на 10 часов комбо секса.

    Из минусов:
    - предпоследний босс файт, фикально-пурпурная трешь масса приправленная подсосной механикой Вергилия в удел кастрирования самого Данте.
    - лвл дизайн, периодически растягивает игру и троллит страдающих географическим кретинизмом.

    Из плюсов:
    - сюжет, сказ о великой любви двух братьев и семейных дрязгах ценой опиздюливания всего мира с "вот это ПОВОРОТНЫМИ ПОВОРОТАМИ" в повествовании.
    - геймплей, чистокровный слешер для элиты своего времени, который бросает вызовы и задает челендж на любой цвет мозолей пальцев после выдрачивания комбо.
    - оружие, всё уникальное и по своему юзабилити, каждый новый анигилятор демонов хочется как минимум попробовать, а после внести POWER по максимуму.
    - боссы, разнообразные и в меру сильные, к каждому свой подход, своя стратегия, все запоминаются, а большинство вызывает желание вернуться и прописать пиздейшн еще раз.
    - музыка, отдельное произведение искусства, которое задает и атмосферу локациям и драйв происходящему, порой даже до мурашек.

    The graphics may be worse than the ps2, but it's still great. The fast pace action is really nice and If you have a analog controller the control will be nice also. (if u dont have 1 then u need to get one). The battle system is awesome, enemies are awesome, boss fights are awesome. The only lack is of the intense puzzles that u would find in dmc1.

    A typical Capcom game with spectacular visuals and well animated movie clips. The storyline was intriguing to keep playing non stop and boss battles were awesome with some cool moves for Dante.

    In 2003, I probably would have put the maximum score, but today the game is outdated and is inferior to its competitors in the genre, including the 2013 restart. I went through this game for the first time after the restart, so I can objectively evaluate this game, without a drop of nostalgia. The combat system is better, deeper and more diverse than in the restart of 2013, the plot isIn 2003, I probably would have put the maximum score, but today the game is outdated and is inferior to its competitors in the genre, including the 2013 restart. I went through this game for the first time after the restart, so I can objectively evaluate this game, without a drop of nostalgia. The combat system is better, deeper and more diverse than in the restart of 2013, the plot is interesting and can cause surprise, but otherwise it is shamelessly outdated and in some components causes irritation, for example, in a terrible camera and control, a dull game design that cuts an eye after the visual feast of the game of 2013 and angry regular backtracking, which destroys the pace of the game, which for the genre slasher is a critical drawback. It is also necessary to note the port of the game on the PC, which, perhaps, is the worst port on the PC, which I have seen.

    Despite all the above disadvantages, my rating is 8 out of 10. I consider it necessary to make a discount because of the release date of the game.    … Expand

    Just don't blame us for the clumsy controls, dodgy camera angles and ultra-frustrating gameplay. [Sept 2006, p.104]

    DMC3 has a few conversion issues - low-res textures and fiddly joypad setting-up - and lack of quicksaves can be infuriating when you have to begin a boss battle all over again, but overall it's infernal fun. [Oct 2006, p.78]
