Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition

"This game is good? Meh! This game is Great!!!"

This game is an updated version of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, allowing you to play as Vergil as well as playing in the new mode called Bloody Palace mode and it has few new costumes as well, and a new difficulty mode called Very Hard Mode and a Demo Digest which plays the cut-scenes that you have unlocked. It has a new feature called Turbo, this is an optional feature which increases the game by 20%. There is a new option at the start of the game that lets you choose between "Gold" and "Yellow" mode, the "Yellow" mode is exactly how you play the game in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening while the "Gold" is a different type of version that includes Gold Orbs and an unlimited amount of continues. The Gold Orbs revive you in the same exact place that you have died with the same exact enemies that have killed you. Aside from the things that I listed above, everything else is the same as Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening.

Gameplay: 10/10

Aww man, where do I start? This game is simply wonderful, imagine yourself being able to control a demon hunter with supernatural skills and varieties of weapons and guns. YOU COULD KICK SOME MAJOR DEMONIC ASS!!! Right, let me explain, Dante gets only one weapon and one gun from the start, but as you progress in the game, you'll get more weapons and guns for Dante, but you can only carry two weapons and two guns at the same time, while Vergil gets three weapons and he can carry them all at the same time, but Vergil doesn't use guns, he uses Summoned Swords, which is very powerful is you upgrade it to the Max, there are different kinds of Summoned Sword moves, but Vergil starts with only one, you need to buy the other moves for him. While you progress in this game, you'll unlock new weapons and new moves as well, you can purchase the moves using Red Orbs, you get these by killing enemies or going to some places where the Red Orbs fall, or slicing up some Red Crystals. Dante has five weapons and he can buy all the moves as soon as he gets the weapon that you need to unlock the moves for that weapon if you have enough red orbs, while Vergil on the other hand can't buy all the moves even if he has enough Red Orbs, he needs to level up in his DarkSlayer Style to unlock them, every time you level up you'll get to buy new moves. This game also has something called Styles, which lets you play the game in the way that you like, for example: GunSlinger Style, which lets Dante use the guns in a varieties of ways instead of just standing there and shooting. Dante has four Styles at the start, but he'll unlock more as you progress in the game, while Vergil has only one Style and one alone. You'll fight bosses, encounter countless enemies, solve puzzles, what more could you want from a hardcore action game.

Graphics: 10/10

The Graphics are absolutely amazing, just stop for a second and look around you, most of the stuff are pretty cool and smooth, the graphics for this game is definitely a work of art, the producers must have taken a very long time to make it this good, just look at Dante and Vergil!! Just look at how cool they are!! The graphics for this game are same as the Original DMC3.

Music/Sound: 10/10

The music is so good!! You might like it so much that you'll even stop fighting enemies for a second and listen to it. The hardcore rock metal music, mixed with a fast paced hardcore action game is every hardcore gamer's dream. You might even want to buy the whole soundtrack. The sounds are pretty good too, they sound so realistic that you might even have a hard time telling the difference.

Replay Value: 10/10

This game is so good that you might become very addicted to it that you'll want to play it again and again!! You might even want to try to complete all the difficulties and even try to finish the Bloody Palace mode, and even unlock the Super costumes for each character. I urge you to unlock everything that is in this game, get all the costumes, try to get all SS ranks, try to unlock all the costumes, try to get everything for both players!! This game definitely has a lot of Replay Value.

Overall:

This is a very good game that every gamer should have.
