#5-Devil May Cry 2
I only just played this game very recently and I can see
why I held off on going through it. I’d
heard nothing but negative things about Dante’s first sequel…and they were
right. Dante’s character assassination
aside (devolving from one line spouting bad ass to super serious average joe),
Devil May Cry 2 feels like a huge step backwards from its game changing predecessor. There’s no challenge to combat, the graphics
feel like this was rushed through development, and the story is incredibly
weak. There is an opportunity to play as
new lady lead Lucina. But after finishing
Dante’s lackluster campaign, I didn’t see the need to do so. Hands down, Devil May Cry 2 might be one of
the most disappointing sequels of all time.
#4-Devil May Cry 4
Devil May Cry 4 is a fun but ok outing for the
franchise. The story and backtracking
has its hiccups but the game is most notable for introducing Nero to the
universe. Voiced by the eternally
awesome Johnny Yong Bosch, Nero’s the next generation Dante from Devil May Cry
3-young, brash and boasting one liners to spare. The game looks amazing for its time and the
action is better than ever before. And while
getting to play as both Nero and Dante throughout the game is fun, future
editions of 4 include new campaigns where you get to play as fellow Demon
Hunters Trish and Lady, as well as Dante’s brother Vergil, making Devil May Cry
4 more of a family affair before Part 5 came along.
#3-Devil May Cry
The second and impaled Dante laughed off Trish’s taunts,
drew his guns and blew up the bike she was throwing at him say, “Time to go to
work boys,” I knew this was gonna be a game unlike any id ever played
before. While its difficult as hell,
Devil May Cry has style, atmosphere and spectacle to spare. Dante became a legend overnight thanks to his
fusion of awesome sword and gun play. Trish
remains one of gamings sexiest leading ladies.
And it’s still a fun game to run through even nineteen years later. Youre playing through history with this
one. And to think, this game originally
began life as a potential Resident Evil 4 game…crazy but I don’t think I could
ever see Leon Kennedy pulling off Dante’s moves (try as he might).
#2-Devil May Cry V
11 years after Devil May Cry 4 and 6 years after the
poorly received DMC: Devil May Cry, Dante and Nero roared back onto the gaming
scene with an adventure that was everything fans could’ve hoped for after a decade
plus long wait. With three powerful Demon
Hunters at your disposal: Dante, Nero and the mysterious V, each with their own
unique playstyles, a bevy of tricked out skills and weapons to choose from and
one of the most personal tales in the series to date, Devil May Cry V is one of
the best sequels out there. Also, the
game gets cudos for introducing one of the sauciest and most fun supporting
characters in Nico, Nero’s chain smoking best friend and gunsmith. Honestly, if you’re a little sekptical, just
watch the sequence where Nero takes out a slew of Demons while Nico flips her
van through the air…how the hell will Devil May Cry 6 ever top this?
#1-Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening
After Devil May Cry 2 failed so spectacularly, there was
nowhere to go but up…or rather backwards.
Much like Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Dante’s Awakening is a prequel
to the series, focusing on a younger, less mature Dante tearing his way through
a demonic tower to fight his brother Vergil.
The game introduced all of Dante’s special fighting styles that are
still staples of the franchise today.
Better yet, the game does everything right that Devil May Cry 2 did wrong:
more detailed graphics, stellar cutscenes, a more fun Dante, and a story that
matters. From Dante’s battle with Vergil
to the introduction of fan favorite Demon Huntress Lady to any of Dante’s epic
boss fights that acquire him new and deadlier weapons, there no reason you shouldn’t
be having fun playing this game. Every
time I do, I always feel like a bad ass…just like a Devil May Cry game should.
