[PS2] Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition

Enjoyed playing through with Vergil, but haven't really gotten around to getting all the bonuses as I had lost most of my addiction to the original release.

However, Bloody Palace has been pretty fun, especially once you get near the end of it (once you hit the 9000 lvls it's DMD or VMD mode). Vergil is the best when it comes to Bloody Palace. Spamming Phantom Blades and comboing at the same time pretty much makes you unstoppable in there, though it's exhasting once you reach the last lvl (it's Dante vs Vergil DMD, where I unfortunately died, almost beat him too). That's probably the best thing about Vergil, being able to mash out your projectiles while comboing with your melees at the same time. As that method drains boss's HP really quickly, and makes short work of enemy sentries.

The only thing I didn't like about Vergil was his style, or better yet his lack of a double jump. It was so difficult (even frustrating at times) to platform with him, as it took a bit of practice to peform Trick Up (when trying to complete Secret Missions or reaching hidden items/orbs).

Additional Post:
Regarding DMC3 figures.... Organic Hobby is releasing/distributing Kaiyodo's fully posable, new joint articulation line of figures called Revoltech.

One of the figures in this line, that they're making, is Dante from DMC3!

Dante is going to be fully posable as opposed to the DMC1,2 KT figure line. His cape can be morphed into any style, he can mimic any pose from the game (thanks to the new joint system they've created). As for accesories, he'll come with Rebellion (awakened form), Nevan, Ebony&Ivory, Shotgun, alternate head, and some sort of stand.

Dante, along with the rest of the Revoltech figure, will be about 6" tall with 14 points of articulation and comes accesories/weapons and additional/replacable parts. Set for release some time in May, at a price of approximately $22.

I'll definitely buying this one, as it's looking to be one of the best Dante figures available.

Some images of the Dante figure, plus an image how the joint looks/works.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

• Playable Vergil, which was probably the biggest addition, who also comes with unlockable costumes, one of them being Nelo Angelo
• Jester is a boss - can be fought against 3 times
• Gold (JPNS ver) and Yellow (NA ver) orb continue system
• Demo theatre - view the game's cut scenes after viewing them
• Bloody Palace - goes all the way to lvl 9999, and you actually get something out of beating it
• Turbo mode - game speed is approx 20% faster
• Very Hard Mode - which is the equivalent to the NA version's Hard mode

The goods are worth the lowered price IMO

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh a deflector skill would have been handy, especially against those cycloptic-projectile demons. But i can see why they omitted it, cause Dante was the only one that actually shot bullets and the fights against"Dante" were really just Vergil.

They really could have done more to polish Vergil's game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
