DESCRIPTION
This third episode in Capcom's "gothic action" saga serves as a prequel to the first two releases, set before the events of the original Devil May Cry. Though fans of the series know that Dante's supernatural powers are a product of his demonic heritage, this game introduces the hero's half-brother — another supernaturally gifted half-demon named Virgil, who is just as dedicated to advancing the forces of evil and darkness on Earth as Dante is devoted to promoting justice and good.
Building upon the fast-paced gameplay offered in earlier editions of Devil May Cry, Dante's Awakening allows players to choose from a selection of fighting styles as they take control of the hero. The "Evasive" style emphasizes Dante's speed and dodging abilities, while the "Close Combat" style allows the hero to make good use of melee skills and the "Long Range" style focuses on gunplay. A collection of new and familiar weapons are available, including quick pistols, powerful shotguns, and even a deadly guitar. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“My favoutie entry into the series. Very smart crackin, very funny, very ridiculous, and very up on himself. This game showed us why we should love Dante and why this series has so much potential.”

“In my opinion the best DMC game ever made. The whole story has an epic and massive feel to it. The story is compelling and keeps driving the story-driven players forward. It maintains the crazy awesome hack and slash play-style that was so big with the original DMC. The bosses have a decent degree of challenge, at least for the first play though. The re-playability value is mediocre if not on the high end because of the incentive and unlockables the game provides. Because of the real time action play-style it's very hard to get bored while playing this game. It can really keep your adrenaline on edge.”

“Il mio actiongame preferito sino ad oggi che fonde quello che Capcom definisce 'aspetto Stilish' ad un combat system profondissimo ed estremo. Varietà di armi spiazzante, bossfight perfettamente strutturati, e una storia narrata eccellentemente. Dante torna in altissimo, guidato anche da una splendida caratterizzazione dei personaggi.”
