Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, released in Japan as simply Devil May Cry 3 (デビル メイ クライ 3 Debiru Mei Kurai Surī?), is an action game that was developed and publishedby Capcom, released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 (also ported to the PC in 2006). The game is a prequel to the original Devil May Cry, and is the first game in the series storyline's chronological order. Set in modern times in an enchanted tower named Temen-ni-gru,[1] the story centers on thedysfunctional relationship between Dante and his brother Vergil.[2] The events of the game take place just as Dante has opened up the Devil May Cry agency,[3] and before Dante'sdemonic heritage has reached its full potential.[4] The story is told primarily through a mixture of cutscenes using the game's engine with several pre-rendered full motion videos. Upon release, Devil May Cry 3 was widely criticized for its high level of difficulty,[5][6] but was praised for improvements over its predecessor, and a return to the challenging gameplay ofDevil May Cry. A manga prequel to the game was first published in Japan in 2005.
