9.0 Presentation
Lightning-fast load times, an easily accessible interface, and the best storyline of the trilogy make Dante our new favorite guy.
9.0 Graphics
Completely reengineered from the ground up, Dante's Awakening rarely slows down and moves at 60FPS. The environments are huge and beautiful and are supported by terrific designs.
9.0 Sound
Dolby Pro Logic II used to its fullest. It has creepy sound effects, a killer soundtrack, and A-level voice-overs. Do you really need anything else?
10 Gameplay
One of the best action games of the last decade. An extremely deep customization system, plenty of combos, massive challenges, and excellent physics can go a long way.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
More than a dozen secret missions, multiple difficulty settings, a flexible gameplay engine, and a compelling storyline makes it easy to come back to.
9.6 OVERALL
Also, Game Informer and PSM gave DMC3 a 9.
