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
Defeat Phantoms
The Phantom falls easily to Air Raid. Using your handguns or shotgun is almost useless. You must have a good Devil Trigger gauge for him to die easily. The key to defeating him is Air Raid or Holy Water.
When facing a Phantom, go behind him and use Air Raid on his buttocks. This is where most of his insides are exposed, so you can deal out more damage.
If you use a Stinger (the level is unimportant) as soon as you see him forming a fireball, he will throw his head back and either shoot it into the sky, or it will explode in his mouth causing him extra damage. Otherwise, use your pistols to charge your Devil Gauge. When it is full, jump in and slash his face furiously. Another trick you can use on the Blue Phantoms (such as the ones encountered in hard mode) is to use a fully charged Meteor level 2. If it connects, it will kill him instantly.
