I think you have to keep this in mind. If I rememeber correctly I thought this game was the coolest thing ever right when it came out. But looking back there wasn't a lot of variety in enemies or bosses, I think you fight the same bosses like 3 times? But this game created a genre when it came out, I had so much fun trying to get good at all the fast twitch moves, combos, and juggles you could do I couldn't put it down. That said I don't know if it would hold up as well now because I haven't played it lately. I did go back and try and finish up DMC3 before I go and buy 4 but that game is difficult, still can't seem to pass it.

If your playing 3 to continue the series into 4. Then that is kind of pointless.

Since the time line of the Devil May Cry Series is:

Devil May Cry 3 >>>> Devil May Cry 1 >>>> Devil May Cry 4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Devil May Cry 2

Yes, DMC3 is a prequel. And 2 had nothing to do with the series.

Well now, that IS interesting. I wanted to try 4, but wanted to play some of the others first.

It sounds like I'll completely exclude DMC2 if it's unrelated, but I'd still like to try to finish 1 and 3 before 4.
