Thinking about 'Devil May Cry 3'

Ten times on first mission
At the beginning, 'DEVIL MAY CRY3' gave me the unbelievably terrible impression. 'Less is more' should be first formula well-made-games aim at, I think, but DMC3 has too many thing to learn like getting used to numerous skills and selecting play-style. Game is play-ground, not the text-books!

Another thing I don't understand is the grade system. 'Why do they put a grade on my play?'. When I finally got the kerberos abled to kill Dante by a couple of hit, They gave me C-grade!! How rude they are?! After that, I threw away controller. Worse of all, If you don't finish a mission within limited time, you never get good grade. "hurry, hurry! complete this mission as fast as you can!", you can hear that creepy sound whenever you run. They don't give you enough time to look around backgrounds of this game and to get rest out of battle. That was unacceptable.


It was bad, but not now
I played with Dante, thinking this game was nothing but labor. At that time, I didn't know time was slowly coming when I fianally recognize Devil May Cry 3 as a masterpiece. Combo actions by 'stinger' gave me a little feel of cool, but I found a true and enormous fun playing on royal-guard-style! 'Just-Guard' - breaking any attack with no damage by pushing button at proper time - got all my attenstions! I set guard-button for 'L1', then I could have got fun of extreme tention I had got only in 'Onimusha series'. More over, since I set changing devil-arms key for 'L3' to change weapon more easily, My combo action had become gorgeous compared with before. I forgot my duties, I just played with this unbelievable man named Dante all night long!


The Combo System is All Devil May Cry has!
A game-reviewer wrote down above words for Devil May Cry. Anyone who has ever played Devil May Cry may agree to that expresion. Running, Blowing up, Shooting, and Throwing away Combo-Actions make devils cry and take the soul out of the gamer's head! I blamed DMC3 for giving no time to rest, but I can say now "Maybe, There is some reason. WHY SHOULD THE CRACKS BE BETWEEN TAILLESS ACTIONS?!".

I saw endless possbility of DMC3 combo system watching music-videos DMC players made. It seem that CAPCOM doesn't make any single disposable game. I should turn this game off now because I got another things to do, but After that, if I get some rest time, l would like to learn more and to play more this beautiful game.
