Devil May Cry: Dante's Revenge

Devil May Cry: Dante's Revenge

The Story
After I got home on the last day of school, my cousin, Thrasher (I am not going to give out our real names, so I am using the names we agreed on if something like this ever happened to one of us.), called me downstairs to the basement. "Yo, Snipes," he said, "I got a graduation present for you." He then procceeded to pull his hand out from behind his back, and he gave me a this rectangular-shaped package wrapped in floral wrapping paper tied up with a golden colored bow. To me, it looked like a video game case.

He handed it to me, and i opened the present. As I suspected, it was a video game. It was a Gamecube game called Devil May Cry: Dante's Revenge. The cover showed Dante holding a large sword, sorta like Ike does while he is idling in Super Smash Bros Brawl. Dante was also Holding a gun in his other hand, and he was pointing it straight forward, and looking in the same direction. I had never heard of such a version of Devil May Cry, nor had I heard of a Devil May Cry game being on the Gamecube. I told Thrasher, "I-I-I can't accept this. It's such a great gift. I just can't." And I procceeded to hand the game back to him. He just looked at me and said, "Of course you can. I know how much you like the series., so I thought I'd get you this one, seeing as it looked like a title neither of us had." "Well, why don't we play it together? Look, on the back it says that it is 1-4 players." "Ok. Sounds good to me." And we inserted the game into his Wii.

The game started up normally, with the company logos of Capcom and Ninja Theory appearing with the sound of sword slashing. Then, the title screen appeared with Dante, looking like he did on the box art, with the words "Devil May Cry: Dante's Revenge" at the bottom. The screen was also paired with 8-bit music, which I found odd, considering the Gamecube was a step up out of the bits system. Anyway, the song was kinda cool, and when I pressed START, the options were, "Single Player", "Multiplayer Adevnture", "Multiplayer Battle", and "Options". I clicked on "Multiplayer Adventure" and we are greeted with "Continue", "New Game", and "Back". "Continue" Was unaccessible, seeing as there was no file saved. As I clicked on "New Game", we could here a sword slash sound, and the screen looked like someone took a sword and slashed through it as it faded to black.

Text appeared on the screen over a picture of a bedroom in the late hours of night. We see Dante sleeping in the bed, there is a dresser on the left with a picture frame that had a picture of Dante and his family in it. The text said, "The night is late and the moon shines bright into the room of Dante" Suddenly, a loud crash wakes up Dante. He runs out of his room, somehow fully clothed, and bumps into his brother, Vergil. Dante asks, "What the hell was that?" To which Vergil replies, "I don't know." Then, a woman and a man yelling for help can be heard. "MOTHER! FATHER!" both Dante and Vergil yell as the bolt down the stairs. The screen cuts to black for a split second and we hear footsteps going down a set of stairs. Dante and Vergil encounter two demons attempting to kidnap their parents. Only then do I relize how young Dante and Vergil look.

"Thrasher, do you notice how young Dante and Vergil are?" I ask Thrasher.

"Snipes, you just now noticed that?" he replied.

Dante and Vergil pull out pistols, and Dante says, "Let them go." Then Vergil says, "Or else." Before firing shots at the monsters. The bullets miss, and the demons procceed to run, still holding Dante and Vergil's parents. Then the gameplay starts. The game is split screen vertical, one side of the screen being Dante, the other Vergil. I was Dante, Thrasher was Vergil. The game automatically moved us forward as we ran towards the demons. The controls were: Joystick to move, A button to jump, B button to duck, Z button to fire shots. The demons threw cars at us. We had to dodge them. We could not kill the demons, and they got away, which made Thrasher get SOOOOOO pissed off, it was hilarious. But, what we thought was game over, only turned out to be the beginning.

Dante looked just as pissed as Thrasher, only in a revenge seeking way, not a RAGEQUIT way. Dante then turned to the screen and said, "I vow to get those god forsaken creatures. They will not get away with this. I SWEAR!" And Vergil then grabs Dante's shoulder and they both look up as the camera spins through the sky and into space. Words on the screen say, "Devil May Cry: Dante's Revenge"  in the same font as the box art. The music in the background is heroic music. The screen then goes back to Dante and Vergil. A text box appears stating "Vergil: Dante, let's go." Then the screen splits and its back to Dante one side, Vergil other.

As we walked forward and started talking to people, that's where things are noticably off. The people all state the same thing: "They went that way <-", "The demons.... Again...", and possibly the creepiest, "The souls of the lost have been taken back to hell...." We were surprised at this, but shrugged it off.
