Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
Also known as: DMC3

A prequel to the original game, Devil May Cry 3 brings new elements to the series other than the expected visual and presentation upgrades. At the forefront, is the all-new "Style System" that allows players to select from Gunslinger, Swordmaster, Trickster, and Royal Guard types classes. These style classes allow players to distribute experience points to specific attributes to build their characters more specifically. Other new features include an original 3D engine, improved lighting and shadow effects, and a realistic weather system.
