    Devils Third is a fun game and while people complain about "Bad graphics" I think they're not that bad and they don't even matter, most of the people writing reviews just want to hate on WII U and hate on this game for being WII U, they see reviews and decide to write there own on here to give it a worse rating.

    Probably Devil's Third won't be a masterpiece or a great game but it was really underestimated. The game-play is fast, well paced and controls aren't that pain in the neck. There are signs of a troubled development and the mix between tps and melee action could have used more work, but we are far from the crazy 2/10 or 4/10 critics are giving to this game. It's worth a try.

    Its Boring, repetitive, and glitchy. Everything about the game screams mediocre. People said multiplayer is the game's saving grace but it's only fun for an hour or two. Save your money and buy phantom pain.

    It's very difficult to give this game a score cause it contains 2 parts which aren't on the same level.Please read till the last line to understand my rating.

    Singleplayer: In my personal opinion it's entertaining to play it. But it has balancing issues. Sometimes it's hard as hell, sometimes a piece of cake. Sometime the KI has lapse. Nothing game breaking or annoying but noticeable.

    Singleplayer:
    In my personal opinion it's entertaining to play it. But it has balancing issues. Sometimes it's hard as hell, sometimes a piece of cake. Sometime the KI has lapse. Nothing game breaking or annoying but noticeable. I found one bug where I wasn't able to pick up a weapon. If the action on the screen gets very chaotic the game has some frame drops. The levels are very linear. Overall: If you give Sonic Boom a 4 out of 10 and Sinic Boom was glitchy and boring then Devil's Third is easy a 5.5 out of 10.

    Multiplayer:
    No lags, full servers, unlockables, lot of weapons and maps, clan system, different modes, leveling system. This part of the game rocks as hell. Only let down are the microtransaction for styling gimmicks. You can buy golden eggs. But you also get them for leveling up. Overall I would give a 8.5 out of 10.

    Now, what's weighting more? You spent maybe 7h with the singleplayer and uncountable hours with the multiplayer. It's the same with Battlefield or CoD. I never cared about the singleplayer in those games. So if you red my review till here you can maybe now understand why I give this game a 7.5 out of 10.    … Expand

    Surprisingly good game.. would play it more but rather MGS obviously.. only rating it 10 to put the average score up.. it's a lot of fun.. the single player is actually quite good and the multi player is great.. I'd give this game a 7.5 or an 8.. cool game.. if you have a wiiu and see this for 28 bucks or less like I did.. pick it up and give it a go..

    Fun game, with a really nice and intense gameplay. The ingle player mode have a good story, charismatic characters and a lot of jokes. The score attack makes it replayable. The multiplayer have enough options and game modes to be funny and interesting a lot of time. The only bad about the game are the typical Unreal 3 issues. Some slow to load textures and that kind of things.

    The story mode is mediocre at best and awful at worst but it's saved by score attack and multiplayer I'd rate it 7.5 overall. Hopefully the bad press doesn't stop people from getting what is a very fun game.

    Like Duke Nukem Forever, I expected this game to get bashed just because it looks a little dated. The critics are first in line to jump on the game for looking dated. It's too bad they can't even play the game right or blame it for being too hard and frustrating. Devil's Third is a solid action game created by Tomonobu Itagaki and his team. It's good. End of story.

    a real fun game to play over the top storyline and has a feel of Quentin Tarantino's kill bill about it. it is a game you pick up and forget how long you have played.

    This game is surprisingly good. Lol. The gameplay is cover genre based but you can run, slide along the floor and dodge enemies, when less enemies are around you can switch to melee on the fly quickly, and back again.

    Only rated 10 to put the score up becuase the way it's rated atm is ridiculous.. The single player is very mediocre until the last mission.. the last mission and the last boss fight are awesome and the entire game should of been at that level from start to finish.. If it had been I would have rated the single player a 7.5 but alas it was not.. the other 8 missions were awful about 3 soOnly rated 10 to put the score up becuase the way it's rated atm is ridiculous..

    The multi player is fantastic.. customizable characters, load outs, fortresses and clans in fact the only problem with it is there occasionally aren't enough people online but even then you can always find something to do.. And for all those people who say it's pay to win.. you can pay to get golden eggs but I honestly don't see why anyone would.. you gain 30 at the start of the game.. 20 for beating the single player and another 20 for finding the war trophies.. so in about 5 hours you should already have 70 golden eggs and if you can't make a good enough load up or get equipment to be competitive with that you suck at the game.. I'm already level 71.. no micro transactions used up the first golden eggs I got then you earn more as you level up currectly a ninja assassin in tiger cammo with a cats head and have earnt so many extra eggs I don't know what to do with them. Multi player gets a 8.5 so overall I'd rate this game a 7.5.. loads of fun but flawed..    … Expand

    Thx, Mr. Itagaki. This game is not a **** like critis said, it's an understimeted great experience. I simply love the swipe from tps and action and the solo story mode is great.
    I hope u can make a second chapter with more things and hopefully better framerate(the only one thing gone wrong).
    Anyway, hasta la vista Itagaki san

    I have a slight addiction to this game. I didn't get this same addiction from counterstrike or CoD and im not sure why.

    I enjoy the idea of clans, the available diplomacy actions and building and repairing your own fortresses throughout North America.

    Ridiculous amounts of fun. If you're online, lookup Cdusdal, currently BandofthHawk clan

    If there's a game that fits perfectly as a kusoge (the term that Japanese gamers use for terrible games), Devil's Third is definitely one of a kind. Itagaki's experiment is a total failure in all of game's aspects: bad gameplay mechanics, terrible narrative and poor graphics make this title something to avoid.
