Glad to hear all your opinions.

Like 00seven says I would sooner see an Onimusha 2 than a Devil May Cry 2.

Of course though the king is Silent Hill. A Silent Hill 3 would be sweet.

I will agree on the camera note also. However, I also have plenty of complaints about Onimusha, one of them being the fact it could be easily beat in alittle over three hours. Also, while playing Resident Evil I could not shake the feeling that it was just Resident Evil in a different setting. While, DMC came around and it reminded me of the older games and didn\'t require that much brain power.

[/Wonders why I was slayed with a demonic glowing sword...Damnit! ;) ]

I totally agree Ryu there is no excuse for a bad camera angles in games nowadays.The action in DMC was great though the final boss was a little easy.Overall I think it was a good beginning for a solid franchise.
I swear this post is not spam!!!!Listen,if this post was spam,would I do this? [spreads mayonaise over bread]

Few things. Firstly I did watch the intro and see the shop name. However if you read in the manual you will see the bit about how Dante may make a devil cry.

Secondly oldskool gaming is all good and well its just a shame they kept all the oldskool badness. Like the save game technology has been a step forward for gaming. Prehaps in FPS where you can save anywhere its a bit much but in Devil May Cry its too little.

Did you watch the intro? Because the game is called Devil May Cry because Dante run a buisiness and the name of it is Devil May Cry. From what I understand his job is killing demons then getting payed. [/B]





actually its coshe so hard..etc ( say something else in manual, like eyes are so cold) even a devil may cry for mercy!!!!!
