See? See how bugs can actually make for some cool stuff? Had there never been an Onimusha and all the funky enemy-juggling bugs therein, Hideki Kamiya would have never thought to turn said bug into the enemy juggling, guns-and-swords deliciousness of Devil May Cry. The first game was awesome, no doubt, introducing Dante and his blasé attitude toward seemingly overwhelming numbers of enemies, but the sequel was... "disappointing."
Most, however, will speak longingly about Devil May Cry 3, which was easily the most hardcore and finesse-based of the games on the PS2. Fittingly, it was the last of the PS-exclusive games, widening to a more general multi-platform audience when the series hit current-gen systems. This Devil May Cry, however, was infinitely more technical, requiring something that felt, to a degree, like a Ninja Gaiden game in that you had to perfect your moves, upgrade combos and even grind a little, RPG-style, to upgrade abilities. It still stands as the most intricate and merciless of the games.
Luckily for some of us, the game's difficulty was tweaked a bit and a few more concessions taken with the continue system to allow less insane players to dive into Dante's world with the Special Edition, complete with plenty of tweaks and additions. Both are worthy additions to any library, though we'll go with the fancy new one because of the extra goodies and toned done challenge.
