Also at your disposal will be many inventive moves: use your sword to pop your enemy up into the air, for example, juggling him in the air with blasts from your gun. You will have unprecedented control of the direction and force of your sword and other weapons as you battle marionette butchers, carnivorous lizardmen, and scissor-wielding wraiths in a series of responsive, fully realised environments such as dilapidated courtyards, hanging gardens, twisted mirror-realities, ghost ships and caves. Review Shinji Mikami, the creator and producer of the Resident Evil series, and Hideki Kamiya, the director of Resident Evil 2, have teamed up once again with Devil May Cry . This time, the duo has created a fast-paced game that's one of the best translations of classic 2-D action in a 3-D world. 2000 years ago the Devil Emperor threatened to conquer humanity, but was stopped by a benign devil knight. The emperor was imprisoned, but now threatens to escape. It's up to the knight's half-breed son, Dante, to follow in his father's footsteps and defeat the Devil Emperor once again. In addition to being a fine swordsman, Dante is equally adept with guns. In the first half of the game, players slash and shoot their way through. After acquiring a different weapon, the focus changes to close combat. Weapons can be upgraded and new attacks can be learned, adding to the game's variety. As a whole, the action is immense and flows smoothly. A few things impede it though. During fights with bosses and multiple enemies, the fixed camera angles can get frustrating. The in-game text also scrolls painfully slowly. Graphically, this is one of the best-looking games Capcom has ever published, and that's saying something considering its impressive visuals in Resident Evil. The hard-rock styled music is nothing to write home about, though. The voice acting is strong, but there's not much of it, which is a shame since the interesting setting would have made for some great storytelling. However, the focus here is fast and furious action, and this game elevates it to an art form. --Raymond M Padilla,.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
