Sound good? Good, read on! Surprisingly, the star of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition isn't actually Dante. If you like your summations quick and dirty, however, know this: Devil May Cry 3 is a fast, challenging, great-looking game that kicks serious demon ass with multiple fighting styles, gun types, and pointy things. If you're looking for an in-depth analysis of the gameplay system, the atmosphere, and how it all ties together, then by all means head on over to the article posted last February. Having reviewed the original DMC3 last year, I find it a bit repetitive to cover most of the game's aspects all over again.
Now keep in mind, this examination is stringently focused on the new features that have been added to Devil May Cry 3 in the ten months following its release. if they do, I believe they'll find it to be an experience every bit as good as 2005's biggest and most popular award-winners. But that's why I'm hoping that players who never gave Dante's Awakening a chance the first time will give Capcom's "Special Edition" re-release a second look. Unfortunately for it, the game was released in a year that saw the fantastic Resident Evil 4 and the equally incredible God of War dominate popular opinion - and let's face it, between the two of them, the adventures of Kratos and Leon collectively raised expectations. It's been almost a year since Capcom unleashed Devil May Cry 3 in North America, but its position as one of the system's best action titles still stands today.
