The Devil May Cry games

[LowercaseE]

I've recently been messing around with Devil May Cry. I bought it way back when it came out but I got tired of it quickly. Since I've been messing around with it for the past few days though, I've realized that there actually is a decent game hidden under all the TERRIBLE camera angles. Seriously. How could anyone not get annoyed with the camera system in this game. One second you're running away from that big fire scorpion thing, then SWOOSH! the camera changes and you're running right into it. It's a shame that a good game is ruined by such horrendous camera tactics.

Has the camera problem been addressed with part 2 or 3? I'd like to check out more, but I just can't subject myself to the aggravation caused by part 1.

I've only played the first of these games too, and like you, other than the camera issues it is a great action shooter. I really should give the others a try sometime.

I loved the first one too, though I found it horribly hard. I don't think I ever beat the final boss in it.

The second game was awful. Only played halfway through it before putting it away. It's been too long now, so I don't remember exactly why I didn't like it. But I definitely remember being very disappointed with it.

Never tried the third game, but I remember reviewers liked it.

Played all 3 of them (what else), but did not complete any of them, only tried them, as usual. The first one was great, second wasn't that good, but I liked it, it got detested from the reviewers though. Third one was better again, and also got better reviews.

If you look after the reviews only, I think that the first one got best overall. Third one was now also released as special edition. The camera was a problem, yes, but often is in that type of games.

If you wanna play a great game that comes close to DMC, try Onimusha 3, a great game, with a great gameplay and some great (again?) puzzles. I nearly completed it, and enjoyed playing it very much.

[Harrison]

The Onimusha series is great and I enjoyed it more than DMC. I've played the first and third ones, but somehow missed the second.

If you think the camera angles in that game is bad, you should try Sonic Heroes. Good god, it puts Sonic to shame.
