Capcom Various Books Item Preview. EMBED for wordpress. Want more? But Sparda awoke to justice and turned on the demon horde, vanquishing their plans of global genocide. Sparda then went on to take a human wife and live out his days as a defender of humankind. Fast-forward to today and we find Dante accepting only cases that have demon involvement in the hopes of finding out more about himself and his father. Who was he? What is Dante's place in this world? Well, more questions are about to crash in Dante's front door as the mysterious woman, Trish, shows up and tries to kill him.
She fails, then she quickly asks him for help on Mallet Island, an isle teeming with demons that appear to be gathering for another assault on mankind. As Dante, you will be expected to stop the evil manifesting on Mallet Island. Fortunately for you, Dante possesses enough fighting moves to challenge anyone in the Tekken , Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive games.
Not to mention the fact that he uses his dual pistols Ebony and Ivory like any one of John Woo's action stars. Can you say The Killer? Dante has hair-like trigger responses and switches from firepower to sword swinging action in the blink of an eye. Doing the sword fighting combinations is relatively easy and the learning curve is short.
No sooner do you power up your PS2 than will you be turning bad guys into giblets as easy as you dip your chip into salsa. Don't get me wrong, the game itself is not super easy by any stretch of the imagination, and you will get your ass kicked on more than one occasion. However, it could very well be the most entertaining ass kicking you will ever receive. Plus, as you adventure through the game, other moves will become available to you, allowing you to strive to be the most effective demon-slayer you can be.
As you play the game there are several important facets you should keep in mind. After all, this isn't just mindless button mashing. Instead, players are encouraged to really use Dante's attack combos and special moves in order to extract more red orbs out of fallen bad guys.
In essence, if Dante were to slay one of the demons called Marionettes merely using simple slash attacks, it would release one red orb. That's right. But if Dante kills the demon Marionette using combos and special moves, when the marionette dies it could spill forth many more red orbs.
A small word also appears at the top of the screen indicating how well the game thinks you fight. This word is also reflective of how many orbs you receive after slaying a demon; cool, stylish. Compliments abound. In order to successfully beat the game, players will need to jack up Dante's stats and powers. In this game, the basis of character improvement falls to the red orbs, which can be found throughout the game both on the floors, hidden in destroyable objects and, as I mentioned, in the demons themselves.
An example would be the purchase of a A? When Dante starts off the game he is equipped with the aforementioned handguns and the sword of his father. But as he adventures, he finds other weapons like a shotgun, grenade gun and two very special weapons; Alastor, the thunder sword, and Ifirit, the flame gauntlets. These two weapons allow Dante to use the very powerful Devil Trigger moves. When they are found, the Devil Trigger gauges take effect and start to fill as Dante attacks and takes damage from battle.
Once they are filled and activated, Dante undergoes demonic transformations and unleashes powerful, devastating attacks upon his enemies. Dante can also purchase a devil star which restores the devil trigger gauge at the previously mentioned Divinity statue. Since DMC started out originally as another installment of the Resident Evil series, exploration is a must. At every opportunity, Dante should try to destroy items, explore hallways and generally adventure since there is no telling what he may find.
Items of interest include the red and blue orbs, the yellow orb that allows Dante another continue in the game, the green orb that repairs his health, and the various stars that increase his health or make him temporarily invincible while in Devil Trigger mode. The game certainly doesn't suffer from complacency.
Now, at this point I want you to realize that DMC is a full-on action game that will have you playing for hours on end with its really fluid controls. But in order for this to be a fair review, I need to mention a few small items. First off, the language translation from Japanese was done poorly on this American version.
Jokes and basic conversation just don't seem right.
