    for the first of it's kind devil may cry is definitely innovative, although for todays standards pretty outdated, the soundtrack is still very good but i definitely think that the game is a bit overrated due to lacking gameplay, confusing tasks and boring enemies which makes the game lack character and just makes it an edgy 2000's ****

    Great development from Resident Evil Veronica, nice combat for it's time, but repeating bosses, stupid plot and cringe characters make this game unworthy of your time. If you want to start DMC series, I recommend to do it from the second part.

    What can I say that has not been said one million times before. I know: I rented the game and beat it in just 2 days, but I still remember almost everything about it. Unique, amazing, extremely fun.

    With the exception of a rather throwaway plot, absolutely no part of Devil May Cry escapes the realm of coolness superior. [Nov 2001, p.152]
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
