Jun 12, 2021Devil May Cry supports an entertaining and vivid gameplay experience. I FIRST played this game in 2021, after playing DMC5, and still felt enveloped in the gameplay and attached to Dante. Highly recommend!

Jun 1, 2015Played it for the first time just now (2015) so hard to rate it fairly. Would've been a 9.5 back in it's day, but even today I'd still rate it an 8. Great gameplay, boss battles and difficulty. A lot like Ninja Gaiden, the only downside is the annoying fixed camera positions, which can make boss battles that much harder.

Sep 28, 2013Un juego clásico que, de seguro, marcó un antes y un después en el mundo de los videojuegos.
Acción sólida y divertida, gráficos impresionantes para la época y una historia que vale la pena disfrutar -

Jan 4, 2016One of my first "real" PS2 games alongside Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Devil May Cry is a fun-fast paced-Action button masher with creepy gothic settings. Good memories.

Mar 29, 2017A quality game that took me by surprise when it first released. Probably my favorite game in the series. This is a must buy if you own a Playstation 2.

Aug 16, 2016One of my favorite games of all time and one of the best PS2 games period, surpassed only by the third title in the series and perhaps a handful of other games. Stylish third-person action, excellent music, satisfying weaponry and incredibly cheesy dialogue. The secret missions are a pain and some boss fights are tricky, but this does not detract from the overall experience greatly.

May 5, 2018This modern day brawling, hack and slash game is done very well with style and story.

Jun 30, 2020Estou muito impressionado por um jogo de 2001 ter uma gameplay tão divertida e atraente como este. Se não fosse a câmera - maior limitação do game - talvez ele tivesse envelhecido melhor. Porém, é perfeitamente adaptável. Os inimigos são divertidos de combater, a maioria dos bosses são legais, os combos são lendários e o Dante é carismático demais.

Feb 11, 2020Amazing game for its time and plays great even today, the only problem might be the resident evil fixed camera but it wasnt that big of a deal for me

Feb 10, 2021Dante doesn't quite have the fleshed out personality he has in later games yet, but I really like the the different vibe this game gives over the later games. DMC 1 is a masterpiece that started this incredible series. The writing may not be the best in this one, but the gameplay and creepy environments make this one of the best DMC games.

Jul 18, 2022Great game. There are a lot of fun combat encounters. The combo system is very cool. Music is awesome too. The game can get annoying when you die because you have to restart the entire level. The story isn't anything special but it doesn't break the game for me. The game is fantastic.

Official U.S. Playstation MagazineWith the exception of a rather throwaway plot, absolutely no part of Devil May Cry escapes the realm of coolness superior. [Nov 2001, p.152]

A groundbreaking title that takes the genre in a new and exciting direction. Capcom has once again managed to breathe life into a genre that had been stuck in something of a rut of late.

I don't say such things lightly, but this is easily one of the best games I've ever played. Everywhere I look, I find more things I want to praise about this title.
