Like with the Devil May Cry Plot thread, I've made this one to explain the events and storyline of the 3rd game. Yet again this has credits to Mobfigurz as well. And as before I need to warn you that the story contains spoilers, so don't read if you're going to buy the game.
First of all this game starts a bit after the Devil May Cry Manga. In there our hero, Dante is about 20 years old and has just started his career in taking jobs like devil hunting. He takes job offerings by Enzo Fearinoh, the guy we first saw in the Devil May Cry Manual. He has \just made his own building, but hasn't decided what kind of shop will be or what kind of name it will have. He as always has a red coat, uses his twin handguns Ebony & Ivory and the great sword Rebellion we first saw at Devil May Cry 2.
On the other hand we see another young man, with looks very similar to Dante. He's been searching for something. Ancient legends, and difficult texts lead him from library to library. Until he's visited by a strange tall man dressed in black. The two of them decide to join forces for a common goal we don't know and leave for a mysterious place. The man in black, leaves the young man to draw off some demons, while he goes in a mission to recover an object critical to their plan.
After these prologues the game starts. No matter which character you chose to play with.
We see Dante, shirtless, bored and rather funny. He just went out of a shower, answered a phone call, saying that the shop hasn't opened yet and eats pizza. Showing us that's pretty much what he is doing most of the day.
A man visits him, the same man dressed in black we saw earlier. He apparently knows Dante, and gives him an invitation from his brother Vergil. The man quickly disappears and Dante is alone...or not. Suddenly demons smash his entire body with scythes. Dante takes care of all of them, destroying his building almost completely. Then takes his coat and decides to accept Vergil's invitation.
In the next mission, Dante goes of and battles more devils, while his shop has been completely wiped out. Before the battle ends a huge tower rises from the earth making almost every building/car/and generally anything near to turn upside down, or just transform to debris.
Dante watches this knowing that his brother is probably behind this, and one of the demons manages to escape. Dante laughs as he walks towards the tower to meet his brother.
We see Vergil and Arkham meet on top of the tower. Arkham being the man in black. Arkham confirmed that Dante has the amulet that their mother gave them when they were children. Vergil takes a look at his, it's identical, only gold in color. After a while the devil that escaped from Dante starts going after Vergil, Vergil mercilessly slaughters it without blinking. And along with Arkham they go elsewhere.
We see the figure of a girl on a motorcycle. She's staring at the tower, confirming something for herself and then leaves killing some demons that blocked her way.
From that point on, Dante is in the remains of that road, heading for the tower.
After a while he fights some demons inside and outside of certain buildings he enters to have a shortcut to the tower. Along the way he also manages to get the Shotgun. He finally arrives in the tower. It's a freezing chamber. Inside there is an ice-guardian. A huge dog with three heads, named Cerberus claiming to kill Dante for he is not worthy of entering. Dante taunts the dog and beats it easily. Cerberus acknowledges Dante's power and turns to a weapon to help him finish his quest.
Before Dante can walk two steps a glass ceiling breaks and the girl with the motorcycle from earlier makes her appearance. Dante jokes with her, but she launches a rocket launcher at him. Dante avoids it and she lefts looking all angry. Dante starts to like all this more and more and he goes inside, even more thrilled and excited than before.
On the next stage we see Vergil and Arkham talking. Apparently Vergil realized the girl's entrance and isn't happy to know that. He tells Arkham to do something about it and Arkham faithfully obeys and leaves Vergil.
Dante climbs the tower looking for ways to advance even higher. After a while he fights a tough demon, named the Gigapede which dies easily. After the battle he gets trapped inside a room. Kicks and punches don't work with this door, so Dante is about to use firearm but then a mysterious character appears. He names himself Jester, and admits knowing some things about the tower. After almost breaking Dante's nerves with his no-ending talk and movements he actually tells him the way to open the door and leaves while Dante keeps shooting at him, saying thanks.
After Dante is finally outside the room, Jester fills the room with some new enemies, the Bloodgoyles that seem to take no damage from swords. Instead, sword and close combat moves multiply them. So Dante uses his firearm and ends this easily. With a bit of wandering, Dante arrives at the next point. He stands before a huge door but before he could enter, some weird guys appear and name themselves the guardians of this place. Dante beats them easily and that reveals that they were actually living swords. They beg Dante to take them with him, as he is the only one who has the power to control them, and he agrees after a bargain.
After that, I'll continue in another post as I exceeded the words limit

) Dante manages to reach the top of the tower. It's night, the full moon shines and rain falls with great force.
