#49: Devil May Cry (PS2)
This game started out as a prototype for a PS2 Resident Evil, but it was deemed too much of a departure from the series to actual fit in the survival horror franchise. As we all know Capcom loves to recycle, so instead of throwing away the prototype it became Devil May Cry. The game follows the half-demon Dante on his quest to slay as many demons as possible to avenge his dead mother (pretty usual stuff).
The game is fast paced, the combat is excellent allowing you to switch between your melee weapon and your guns with ease, it's challenging without being too frustrating. Dante is cocky, arrogant and full of himself and I love it. It's a pleasure to see him deal with monsters 10 times his size by insulting and belittling them. This is the game that introduced me to 3D hack and slash and I still think it's the one with the best combat.
Signature goes here!
