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
To kill the spider in the hallway without having to repeatedly jump and slash, run away and jump until he stops. Stand next to his head. When he stops charging, time your attacks so that they begin immediately when he shoots. Do not swing too early. You may be able to swing slightly later. If done correctly, you will stuff his own fire down his throat.
When you fight the Phantom for the second time outside, you will see a round window on the floor. Instead of shooting or using the sword on the Phantom, try to make him smash through the window. Make sure you stand in the middle of the window. It sometimes works if you are also behind him when he jumps. Move out of the way and when you see him land in the middle of the window, you will see it smash slightly. It takes five smashes for him to go through and die.
Make sure you have Alastor and Vortex level 2. Once in the hallway, jump up in the air and enable Devil Trigger mode. Then, hold Circle to keep spinning away at his mouth. This will defeat him very quickly. This strategy also works with Vortex Level 1, but when you stop spinning, it leaves you open to attack.
