Blog Assignment #3, Game Review of DmC: Devil May Cry

     The game tells the story of Dante.  Dante is a teenager who lives in the imaginary world of Limbo City.  He is a teenager who is attacked frequently by demons who catch sight of him in one of the city’s security cameras.  Limbo City is set in a normal universe until the demons pull Dante into a parallel universe when they try to kill him.  

     DmC: Devil May Cry is an action game.  Dante, the player character,  has many weapons, such

as swords and guns, that he can switch out throughout the fights, to help him defeat the demons

that have attacked him.  Dante stays mostly in human form, although the player does have access

to his angel and demon powers.  These powers are both accessible throughout the game.  the

demon powers, however, are generally used by the player to defeat tougher enemies. These

special powers can add to the gameplay and help Dante’s attacks.  Something that is included in the goals and objectives for DmC: Devil May Cry, is that Limbo Town’s structure changes multiple times throughout the game.  This gives the player puzzles they must solve in order to advance on.  

     This game is not only Dante against the demons trying to destroy him, but it is literally him against the world.  This is quite literal because the player often destroys much of the environment around him to complete what they must to move on in the game.  Limbo City changes and transforms throughout as you play along.  Its as if the world is growing around him and reacting to his presence.  For example, the street may simply crumble beneath Dante leaving a large hold for him to fall into.  This will not kill him, but simply provide him with another piece of Limbo City to explore.  

     I think this game looks like it would be fun to play.  I am not a big gamer, but I do like these exploratory type games.  In DmC: Devil May Cry, it would be fun to see how the creators of the game want different parts of Limbo City to react to Dante.  For me, that would be the most fun part of the game.  However, it would also be quite exciting when seemingly randomly, demons come out of nowhere to try to destroy you.
