Lol I've had the mindset for quite some time to start a topic on this game, and have just gotten around to it since i'm quite the lazy wolf =P. Anyway...

Devil May Cry 3 is an action game produced by Capcom, where you fight a variety of enemies with a large assortment of guns and melee weapons.

Story: A prequel to the first Devil May Cry, you play as a half-demon/half-human demon hunter named Dante, whose favorite weapons are dual pistols named Ebony and Ivory and a Broadsword called Rebellion. Dante's father was a demon known as the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, who rebelled against his fellow demons and fought to save the human race. He sealed all the evil entities in the demon world, but lost most of his powers as a result. Many years later, Dante's brother, Vergil, decides to break the seal to the demonic world, and it's up to Dante to stop him.

Gameplay: Alright. While the story is good, this is where the game truly shines. Dante has four different styles which give him certain abilities in battle. You're able to choose which style best suits your own playing style.

Trickster: Gives Dante the ability to pull off evasive and acrobatic maneuvers, like running up walls, dashing, and eventually air dashing and teleporting.

Swordmaster (my personal favorite): Allows Dante to use enhanced sword moves and aerial combos, with new moves and abilities being unlocked for each weapon the more you use the style (and there are 5 melee weapons in this game, ranging from the beginning broadsword to dual elemental scimitars to...a guitar/scythe? Anyway, it gives you an incredibly large amount of possible combos you can perform, since you can switch weapons in mid-combo and do even more damage).

Gunslinger: Another fan favorite. It lets Dante use enhanced gun abilities that vary, depending on each gun (using dual pistols allows you to shoot in two directions at once. Use a sniper rifle to bounce gunshots off the wall and hit the enemy, etc.)

Royal Guard: Supposedly the hardest style. It gives you the ability to block and release the energy of the enemy attacks back at the foe. It's the least popular style from what i've seen, but in the right hands this is by far the most powerful.

For those that have a PS2 and love action, this is a really great game to try out, but be warned that it is INCREDIBLY difficult as well.

Aaaaaanyway, i was wondering if there was anyone else that has played or completed this, or am i alone in TiB ;_;
You can bet your face that I played this game, and every one before it. I Love the DMC series infact I think they are my favorite games. Dante's cocky attitude is great, and he deserves to act like that, I mean who is cooler than Dante? Vergil maybe? nah...but anyway to the gameplay. The fast pace action in DMC 3 is super fun, and I love to do high combos with the lvl 3 sword master, or have total fun with SUPER DANTE!!! Also the story is cool as well, its all gothicie. go beowulf w00t! lol
lol i prefer to use Agni and Rudra and Rebellion myself with the DMC 1 costume. slash them into the air with A&R, do sky dance but switch to rebellion and do aerial rave before he completes his first aerial move, and then finish it all off by switching back to A&R and using their aerial "Triangle button" move (Can't remember what it's called). That generally kills anything in its grasp =P.

I completed DMC 1, but never got around to finishing 2. In my opinion, it was reeeeally bad. Unneeded weapons, Dante almost never said anything, etc.
Agni and Rudra was fun at first, but once I got Beowulf I switched so now I have Rebellion and Beowulf. I have beaten all 3 of them, and I can agree with you that in DMC 2 none of the weapons have backgrounds or a purpose they are just there. But I do like the fighting in DMC 2 you can do what you want and you are not restrected from fighting styles, but then again you dont get any special moves. well anyway I think DMC 3 is the best. :)
I agree. DMC 3 is by far the best from all its weapon varieties and styles. DMC 2 was done by a different team than the original, which led to a practically different system, and a different Dante. The levels were too large and open, and the enemies always appeared almost on the other side of the stage, so you weren't able to continue some cool combo you had going on beforehand. Wall Running and shooting downward in the air were pointless, the difficulty was too easy, and there was a lot of plot holes and storyline basically missing in the game. Lol Capcom saw that they had messed up and actually gave a reason for the games crappiness on Viewtiful Joe for the PS2, explaining that someone else named Enzo took Dante's clothes and went to that island. A revelation that makes sense, i might add =P
