Devil May Cry

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

Mission 19: Easy Orbs

The Ifrit gloves and Inferno are required for this trick. Go to the room in the mirror world where you get the Philosopher's Stone, and three Nobodies attack you. Use either the pistols or some normal attacks until you have three Devil Trigger gauges filled (enough to turn it on). Then, lure all three of the Nobodies toward you. Jump into the air, turn on the Devil Trigger, and use Inferno. Jump up quickly and do it again. This will kill all three of them easily in normal mode (they usually barely survive the first one). You can obtain roughly 500 Orbs by doing this, and it takes anywhere from five seconds to a couple of minutes (depending on whether you need to build up the Devil Trigger Gauge or if they steal your filled Devil Trigger Gauge from you). If you get damaged during this, one of them is guaranteed to drop health about 90% of the time, and it is usually quite a bit (about one life bar).
