Devil May Cry is a videogame developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Capcom Ltd. The game was released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 console from Sony and debuted in August 2001. It can be classed as an action title played from a third person perspective, incorporating some fighting, horror and sci fi elements in gameplay.
Devil May Cry is the first game in the multi million dollar selling series and establishes the elements that will become central to all the releases. It tells the story of Dante, a seemingly normal guy who possesses a lot of demonic strength hidden deep within him. As he begins to realize that no other than the Devil himself is gearing up to take over mankind, he must draw on the heritage of his blood to battle the demons and make himself a hero.
It helps that Dante has been investigating super natural occurrences for a living and that he is a superb fighter, equally skilled with a huge sword and with his signature twin pistols, Ebony and Ivory. As the game progresses and as the fights get tougher, Dante will begin to use even more powerful weapons, some of them channeling demonic energy themselves.
The level of violence in the game is high and this, coupled with the quick paced action sequences, made it a best seller on which Capcom capitalized by launching sequels, the most recent being Devil May Cry 4.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Defeating the Phantom
When you get chased by the Phantom (the big spider) in the hallway, you do not have to kill it. If you run to the end of the hallway and go into the door at your right, when you come back out, it will be gone.
To defeat the Phantom, you must strike either his face or back. When he charges up his blast from his mouth, hit him in the face until the attack backfires on him. This inflicts a large amount of damage. Make sure to dodge his claws when close; and if he attacks with his tail, roll or jump to the sides to dodge it. He will also sometimes attack with flaming spikes that rise from the ground. Before this happens, you will see an orange circle glowing beneath Dante's feet. Roll to dodge this. Continue to strike his face and back until he falls.
To skip defeating Phantom in the hallway completely, immediately run to the left and press X. This will take you into the room with the lion. When you go back into the hallway, you will notice that Phantom is gone.
