Near the beginning of my senior year in high school, I picked up this game at a flea market because I wanted to try out different games and I’ve heard a lot about the Devil May Cry series, so I thought I should give it a try. I beat the game a while ago and now it’s time for my full opinion on the first installment in the series.
I guess a little background information is necessary. The game was directed by Hideki Kamiya, who, at the time, was known for his work on Resident Evil 2, and after this game, he would also be known for games like Viewtiful Joe, Ōkami, and Bayonetta. This game was also meant to be Resident Evil 4, but it was so focused on action that the designers couldn’t consider it a Resident Evil game; instead it became a new Capcom IP and the rest is history.
