Dante awakens after a big night out - and an even bigger night in - to the news of a terrorist threat on the telly, and a piercing hangover clouding his mind. Then the world falls apart and the demons come screaming in to claim his life. But not without a fight, our hero reckons.
Devil May Cry is an ambitious reboot of the Devil May Cry series, with a new Westernised feel and a serious injection of sex, slashing and all the ills of corporate domination.
Half-angel, half-demon and all bad-ass, the new Dante is dragged into a parallel city called Limbo, where the devil is most certainly in the details. Pursued without mercy by the demon-mogul Mundus, Dante is aided from the real world by an accomplice who is aligned with The Order, the group labelled as terrorists by the demonic media.
Like the Dante of old, this contemporary brawler favours a sword and dual-wielded pistols, and uses them to spectacular, devastating effect - giving you sensations of raw power and mystic charm that nearly disguise the furious button-bashing and stick-twisting going on under your thumbs.
Using either trigger button modifies Dante's melee weapon, imbuing it with angelic or demonic power and the abilities to suit. For added style, the powerful Devil Trigger mode slows enemies down, turning the demon's soldiers into sitting ducks.
