Okay, this is it, we've received different feedback over all three episodes of DMC, good and bad (OMG DM1RO X SEKOND 1 SUX-R BALO\X!!!), but now it's time for a final discussion. No flaming, proper reviews over each one, and keep them detailed. Oh and don't you DARE give me any biased shi-t for f-uck's sake. You can set it up anyhow you want. It can be a full length proper review, or a pros/cons list. I'm not forcing you into anything for that.
Here we go for me:
DEVIL MAY CRY 1:
The debut to the great series that is DMC. Fantastic at best, and real tough, maybe really original as well. Is DMC1 better or DMC3? Uhh... don't ask. My opinions on the goods and bads are as follows...
PROS:
-Difficulties are just right. Easy Auto is easy a gateau cake, Normal is moderate, Hard is rather solid, DMD! is f-ucking ridiculous. (But that's not a bad thing)
-Great designs, they give you a really good feeling for each level, and they all go with the game's style.
-So fun and entertaining it will never bore you. (Unless you happen to be a nerd with no idea how to fight a boss and... ah don't ask).
-Graphics were not bad, especially for a game this early. (Well, 2001, yeah)
-Bosses vary in challenge, and they all have something unique about them, and do all different kinds of 1337 stuff.
-Story makes rather good sense.
-Protagonist is one awesome dude! (LOL).
-Special features ROCK!
-Enemies have so much potential as demons.
-The music is GREAT! It's the sort we love and it suits every part it was used. Oldie like chorus music for the story parts and the ancient legend stuff, and heavy rock music and evil frenzy stuff for boss/enemy fights.
CONS:
-Whilst the graphics are brilliant in some places, they can be a real mess for some parts, like the shape of the hair, and the sword handles... oops.
-Whilst it's good to have a really challenging game... well, maybe some parts of this game are just TOO challenging. We hate way too hard games nearly as much as we do way too easy ones, right?
-Game does unfortunately have its repetitive moments.
-Story is unclear in some parts.
-That Nightmare-Beta gun was a real mess up of not only a gun, but of what exactly IT IS.
OVERALL DMC1 SCORE: 9.1/10 = Brilliant
DEVIL MAY CRY 2:
Okay, whilst I don't consider this game as bad as most DMC fans say it is, it's still a big let down to DMC, and I still agree this is the worst one in the series. I guess Capcom forgot about how they made the first DMC when it came to this, huh? ¦)
PROS:
-Graphics WERE somewhat improved from the first game, though they could still do with a bit o' work in some places.
-The occasional boss like Bolverk and Trismagia were interesting bosses and a challenge to face.
-Well, they were able to keep SOME of the good music in here. And that's being kind.
-More realistic seeming swords.
-I like how they switched reviving orb types from Yellows to Golds, which have their differences like price, how many you can carry, how accurately they revive you (Golds automatically bring you back on your feet, Yellows just put you back in the previous room you were in, losing all your progress, supposing you were in a boss fight, Golds can be used unlimitedly, Yellows can only be used once per orb).
CONS:
-Some REALLY bad ideas for enemy types (Reusing bosses, army vehicles with some gooey monster possessing them, evil babies were all some of the stupidest ideas ever, yes EVER)
-This one drops WAY below the quality of the average DMC like game (like GoW), even some other NORMAL demon killing games could possibly be better than this.
-Bosses (and entire game even on DMD) way too easy.
-Bad attacking moves.
-Shi-tty combos.
-Weapons are overpowered.
-Swords are repetitive and not very interesting.
-The whole -Amulet and Heart- crap just ain't my thing.
-Most music sucks. They went from awesome legendary and rock style music to stupid overused techno music. They even reused some themes for different bosses; that's a huge goof to make.
-DT doesn't last long enough, and it's not fair that using guns drains it even more. The super DDT that you get when you have near zero health puts you close to a "You can't die" sequence with all the immense damage you deal and **** ant damage that you take. Sucks how your firearms always change to crappy rapid fireballs too.
-Bosses not very unique. How is it that Noctpteran has NO attacks whatsoever and the only thing it can do is poop out larvae, and even they only have one attack. This boss fight is a stinker.
-Last fights were WAY too easy.
-What the hell is up with that super irritating "kill the 3 really hard to destroy light orbs/pots then grab the Heart and get through the trap door before any of them reappear" puzzle. That was SO aggravating, I'm just so glad you only have to do it on your first play round.
-Lucia had a crappy character to herself, and how is it that she's creating by some thick retard mercenary God wannabe? Arius was a big time sucker.
-I hate how Dante says very little (and so does Lucia) in the game, and he's chosen much more mature, less cocky, showoff attitude. He's so boring without it.
-When you ran out of the Goldies (Gold orbs), you didn't even have to restart the level, you just had to go back to the last checkpoint as if you'd used a YELLOW orb; again, way too easy.
-Really poor voice acting. I agree with the following quote: "Lucia sounded *like something bad, I forgot what the guy said*, and Arius sounded like a castrated pig!"
OVERALL SCORE: 4.8/10 - This is a shameful sequel, you could've done better Capcom... WAY better, and you know it... don't you?
That's all for now, I'll be posting the DMC3 and DMC3:SE reviews later. I've written enough for now and I'm too damn lazy to write any more.
