My freestyle blog is based on the widely known console game, Devil May Cry. One of the reasons why I am doing my blog on this particular game is because, it is one of the greatest games I have ever played.
The game can be played on both Playstation 2 and Xbox formats. It is a one player game and the player takes on the role of the mature Dante.
There are many factors in contributing my interest for the game. First of all, the storyline is paramount in imagination and innovativeness. I was compelled by it after only watching the first scene, which comprises of Dante in action with a horde of creatures.
Brief storyline
Long ago in the demon w
orld, Sparda the legendary dark knight betrays his fellow demons in order to save humanity from destruction. He closes the portal where demons can travel to and fro the human world, using his sword ‘The Force Edge’. Sparda has twin sons with a mortal wife. One is Dante the half demon, half human which the player plays with in the mainstream game. The other is Vergil. Dante is in the knowledge that his mother and brother were killed by the evil Lord Mundas after his father had passed away. This has caused Dante hatred towards the demons and had set up business as a demon slayer. The main objective of the game is for Dante to find and kill the murderer of his two family members.Another aspect I like of the game is the style of combination moves the player is enabled to do. The player can also use the gun and sword weapons simultaneously which is ‘cool’ to watch while performing it on screen. There are so many diverse controls in the game that it is hard for the player to do the same moves too many times (getting to the point that it becomes boring). It’s also amazing how a small human such as Dante can kill huge monsters with such ease (even though I know it is just a game). For example at one point, Dante comes up against a gargantuan spider creature, it seems Dante will find impossible to defeat it, however in the cut scenes Dante uses his incredible strength and speed to overpower the creature.
The cuts scenes are special because of the moves Dante performs. They simply have the ‘wow’ factor. A hero can kill enemies just like that in many ways. There is the normal way, the brutal, the stylish way and then the extreme stylish way. The produce
