New Review Posted: Devil May Cry 3

Scott Jones reviews Devil May Cry 3, and finds it more than a little odd:

"There's a moment halfway through Devil May Cry 3 when protagonist Dante battles a prostitute made out of bats (yes, a prostitute made out of bats). After defeating her, he's cradling her body in his arms when—poof—the bat-prostitute suddenly transforms into a purple electric guitar (yes, a purple electric guitar). What does the ever resourceful Dante do? Of course, he launches into an impromptu guitar solo. He does a painful-to-watch white-man dance across the screen, while the adoring camera circles him and geysers of sparks magically soar into the air all around him. This MTV-circa-1985 moment ends with Dante sliding across the floorboards on his knees a la Eddie Van Halen."

His experiences with the title are chronicled here.

Re: New Review Posted: Devil May Cry 3

It's an ok review, except she's not a prostitute, and you don't ever have to go back for red orbs. I never did it once on any of my playthroughs. If you're really having trouble the option to do so is there, but it's never required of the player. I'm not trying to sound like some gaming badass (though I may be ) because my 10 year old brother has beaten the game twice without resorting to such tactics. I just feel it's an unfair criticism of the game (providing it's even meant as a criticism ).

I thought it was an excellent review and a fun read. Awesome job Scott. It's a shame we didn't meet up.

That review was a really entertaining read. Devil May Cry 3 sounds utterly hillarious and I now really want to play it just to witness the absurdity of it all.
