Scored 9.6

Could be better than DMC1
Chellenging and huge according to the review

I need this one

whats with the blur?

??
Are you refering to the textures?

Ill be playing it this week most likely. I hope its what 2 should have been.

*crosses fingers*

Wow, those graphics suck balls.

I\'ve said it once and I\'ll say it again.  Look at the original DMC screencaps and then go play it.  The game is meant to be seen in motion.  If you go play and still think it sucks balls, then my apologies.

No apologies needed im sure. If he thinks the game looks like shit then tough f*ing titty. The original still looks pretty good IMO.

I\'ll just forget DMC2 ever happened... although I\'m overcome with MVP 2005...

those textures look almost bad.  I guess framerates and more characters on screen and able to maintain 60fps is more important than good textures and polygon counts.  And i agree too, if they can keep the game flow in 60fps, less load times, and great gameplay, it will be better than good graphic but everything else failed...

Dante seems to be made from more polygons IMO than DMC1.
And I am wih Phil.
DMC images looked crapped.While the game in mnotion was one of the best looking games then.
Also there are more effects present onm screen than any of the previous DMC games.
Just watch some gameplay movies.Its far more impressive than these screenshots.And if you have noticed there are no bars on screen.Apparently we arent watching at the full screen but at a zoomed part of the screen

yeah, i watched some clips and was impressive at the fluidity and details that some characters have.  Its look better than the pictures...

The game looks just as good as any of the other ones. The muzzle flash, while exagerrated, looks good as does most of everything else. Nothing ground breaking but it easily does the job. I really hate the fact that they didnt use the same voice actor. I know dante is supposed to be younger but still. At times he sounds kinda whiney but not to some unbearable amount.

They put a lot of old elements back in the game but the controls arent the same as DMC1. They have 4 or so fighting styles that you can switch between before missions. You can build up these different styles but what happens once you level up is beyond me. I wasnt paying full attention. The not so great part is that you cant switch between the two at any time you want.

The animations are nice and the move variety is decent. No more floating upwards when you shoot like in DMC2 (blah) and if you delay pressing a button in your normal slash combo he\'ll do a different one. Doing "stinger" off of a ledge allows you to jump really far like in the first one as well.

So far the story isnt bad. Nothing completely crazy. I think i only got to the 3rd or 4th mission but the pacing seems alright.

I wont go into too much detail but i think the game is very easily worth a rental (at least). The game is pretty challenging like DMC1 and nowhere near as easy as DMC2. I dont know what they offer for longevity or how long the actual game is since i just got to play it today but if you liked the first one enough to buy it then you might consider investing in this one.

A Finnish publication went forth to claim that DMC3 is "An uninspired mess that has no sense of style nor substance." Worst in the series?

Anyone dare second this?

Well.Only someone who has the game can tell us for sure.An average press rating is 8.7 so far at ign

nicon, what style sre you starting off with? even tho there are different styles, in reviews around the web they say  to pick ONE style and stay with it and build it up throughout the whole game because changing the style with every mission doesn\'t give dante enough time to level up properly ...are you doing this? or are you changing with every mission?
