    finish the game this morning and i have to do this review.
    i played atleast all DMC games but never finish 1 and 2 since its been age.i might reconsider it but thats not the point here.DmC or Devil may Cry Reboot is not a bad counterpart to the series.its good?its bad then? no its just decent and way shorter to any DMC qualities.
    the combat in this game is a charm.i would love to see    finish the game this morning and i have to do this review.

    the combat in this game is a charm.i would love to see another game uses the same combat and combo mechanism.weapons plays like the original DMC games.similar moveset with a little revamp.

    the graphic is ok.hate that almost everything in this game has reflections.

    the new dante is not as bad as anyone can imagine.he was annoying at first but play the whole game and you'll find out his inner behavior.he is not a badass looking like the dante we've cared for years but this dude has a potential.give him a chance.seriously but the vergil here is a big mistake and i wont tell you why.

    the only mistake i can only see here is the series is not ready to be rebooted yet.it might a sure go to gamer if its a new ip but its already happend.shame

    overall this game is amazing.
    i've honestly watch AngryJoe's review on this game.but even he pointed every mistake on this game.
    that doesn't stop me to try and judge the game myself.the PC is well optimize game aswell!even old potato setup can run the game atleast at 720p with zero issue.

    Final score will be 9.
    give it a shot and judge yourself.    … Expand

    Um jogo extremamente injustado pelos fans, o que é mt injusto, é um dos melhores DMC.

    TBH, I'm only giving it an 7 instead of 6 because of my hatred for DMC4's design.
    But, DMC3 is still my fav.
    Anyway lets rep this up. Story : while DMC doesn't need a good story to tell it's tail about Dante, it needs to make you feel stylish while playing as the main character. And without getting into to much digging, Dante simply doesn't work here. He simply **** all over the    TBH, I'm only giving it an 7 instead of 6 because of my hatred for DMC4's design.
    But, DMC3 is still my fav.

    Anyway lets rep this up.

    Story : while DMC doesn't need a good story to tell it's tail about Dante, it needs to make you feel stylish while playing as the main character.
    And without getting into to much digging, Dante simply doesn't work here. He simply **** all over the old Dante and acts pretty much like that **** bad boy that gets the hot thots in a night club.
    Vergil is a like "nice guy" that cares about humanity but at the end, he is as much as the main villain (spoiler, it's not that shocking).
    Nonetheless, the bosses attitude is fine and kat is just a typcial cute girl that just so happens to be attracted to you favorite **** potty mouth, Dante.
    No need to say more, yes ?

    Gameplay (controls) : This is the main problem for old DMC fans which I , myself , have.
    The controls for the reboot DMC are completely different from the original. from core mechanic such as lock-on to executing high-time having it's own dedicated button.
    However, this does not mean the controls "suck". DmC actually provides a lot of features old DMC games didn't have or simply didn't implemented well *AHEM* DANTE SUCKS IN DMC4 *AHEM* :
    1, Dedicated dodge button both on ground and air (f*ckin' finally)
    2.Jump cancel is now useful again (yea it's OP than DMC3 JC, but not completely useless as DMC4 JC)
    3.Weapons are fantastic to use and looking good. However, higher difficulties require you to kill enemies with only specifc weapons (only in the OG version sadly)
    4.most input is easy to execute and useful (AHEM, unlike DMC4's Dante)
    5.Devil trigger is OP, and makes enemies float in air for free hits. again only in OG version.
    Overall, Combat is easy to learn for newcomers. For old DMC fans it's like a learning curve sadly. But still, it's fun as hell to get the SSS rank.
    6.main pulling functions (fetch, and )
    Gameplay (enemies & bosses ) :
    To sum up the bosses , their good , but nothing special compared to 3 and 4. They feature scripted cutscenes with is negative for a DMC game. but nonetheless, their good for the most part.
    Enemies on the other hand can be summed up like this
    1.regular enemies are fun to combo
    2.Saw-guy is fun when he stops his **** move with his super armor (but not as annoying as the enemies from DMC4)
    3.Flying babies are annoying to kill because there's no lock-on feature, but fair enough because their easy to kill.
    4.Witches are ok. Hard but not ****.
    5.Teleporting dudes are hard, but not **** like f*cking Blitz from DMC4.
    6.The rest that I can remember are ok.
    7.You can combo most enemies to death, which is fun ... unlike in DMC4 which excepts you to be an professional gamer (sorry, I just really hate that game).

    Music :
    Every DMC game needs a good soundtrack to make you feel like a badass fighting against demons and this game is no exception,
    As a reboot, the new music genre used for this game fits perfectly. Well done Ninja Theory.

    Summary :
    This is a good game. It's just a shame that the story behind the development of this product went into so much chaos because of game journalists and angry DMC fanboys.
    I may have not liked the game, but I know a good game when I play one.
    Give it a shot newcomers, and while your at it.
    Try DMC3 as well.
    Uh , and DMC4:SE , forget about it. That game needs to die along with it's die hard DMC fanboys who think it's better than 3 (gameplay wise)    … Expand

    I think that this is the most underrated game of the devil may cry series (and I'm a big fan of the 3rd and 4th games). Let me explain. Basically, this DMC have the most creative world (this game even have some world!), AWESOME noisia and combichrist soundtrack (I'm sorry, Tetsuya Shibata, you're the best, still waiting for your work in the DMC5), and the most unique visual style.

Yes, it have some issues with the design of certain characters *cough-vergil-cough-Kat-cough* and big problems with the script. But let's be honest, scenario never was the strongest part of DMC series. Nevertheless, previous parts had a great emotional component and physical insanity. I mean, crazy tricks and moves, etc. DMC: Devil may cry lacks both of them. Maybe i'm relying on the music too much when i'm thinking of this game, but still, it is a great part of the DMC experience. I hope that capcom would combine these stories in some kind of weird multiverse, because why not? After all, they're japanese! :D… Expand

    Визуал просто невероятно хорош. Боевка - обычный слешер, я в них не особо играю. Дизайн визуальный и дизайн окаций просто отличные, одна из самых стильно выглядящих игр.

    Не играл в предыдущие части серии, и не понимаю почему фанатам не зашло. Обидно что на релизе поливают го**ом то - что получилось на славу.

    손맛하나만은 정말 좋았다. 여러가지의 능력이 자칫 뭔가는 버려지기 쉬운데 각자 독특한 개성으로 플레이스타일의 다양화를 만들어낸것도 좋았다. 다만 임팩트없는 리메이크로 올드비와 뉴비 모두를 놓친게 실패의 원인이 된듯.

    Unos de los mejores Devil May Cry.
    Si OK me gusta la saga original y este es diferente, igualmente lo disfruté mucho por su temática mas actual y aún vigente en 2022 a pesar de los años de su lanzamiento, la rebeldía contra un sistema manipulado...si sigo es Spoiler
    Escribo esta reseña después de jugarlo por tercera vez

    Первое моё знакомство с серией дало много экшена, но чуть более слабый чем в боге войны сюжет. Много уникальных врагов, которые не делает из игру проходняк. Её стоит если вы любите слешеры

    Игра которая цепляет сюжетом, в котором художники анимировали очень хорошо локацию игры, и в тот же момент накладывается саунд в жанре даб-степ, команда родила шедевр

    A nice origin story for the series. A little too japanish for me. Aside that very fun combat system. Exploring is good for a hack n slash game. Boss fights are epic but the game is a little too short on playtime.

    This game was a reboot after the DMC 3. It was a good game but they made Dante a little too cocky. The storyline was great with demons pulling the strings in the human world and how they controlled all big corporations and banks and media houses. The gameplay was great giving a little space for exploration unlike other DMC games.

    Great game, but underrated, de fato é um game muito bom, com ótimas mecânicas, e sem dúvidas merece atenção do público, a mudança visual de Dante não tem tanta importância já gameplay.

    Apparently it's a story that won't link to the main one, but I liked the plot, but those who have problems with "alternative" stories better not play.
    The expansion was pretty weak in terms of story.
    The gameplay is very similar to the other games in the series,
    I recommend it to anyone who wants to play a good game!

    It’s an awesome game, despite its flaws. Whether you like the young Dante or not, is purely a matter of personal taste. But that’s not an excuse to ignore this gem. [March 2013]

    Graphical flaws and overly linear gameplay aside, DmC is a solid first installment in the relaunched franchise.
