Slant community chat on DiscoursePro Hardcore difficulty mode
New to the series is a hardcore difficulty mode that is meant for only the most extreme players. This adds a level of difficulty to the game for those that are interested.
Pro New character with new gameplay mechanics
DMC 3 focuses on a new character, Dante's brother Vergil. Vergil offers a whole new moveset when compared to previous games, which makes the gameplay fresh for those that are familiar with the series.
Con Practically impossible to play with mouse and keyboard
A keyboard binding exists, but it is impossibly complicated for anyone to use.
Pro Impressive, flowing combat system
The game has a visceral, impactful free-flow fighting system that emphasizes counter-attacks, dodges and stringing combos with a variety of weapons and moves.
Pro Grand boss fights
The game has interesting, multi-part boss battles. A lot of character to the fights is added by the impressive, grotesque boss monster designs.
Con Stealth sections feel out of place
The game has stealth sections that involve turning into a rat and getting from one place to another while avoiding detection, but the stealth gameplay is very barebones and feels very out of place in a Castlevania game.
Con It can get really ridiculous at times
It definitely is a more humorous title, so if you want something that takes itself seriously then better choose a different game.
Pro Gore galore
Very satisfying and brutal fighting mechanic.
Pro Hideo Kojima's touch is present
The humor of the game is perfectly fit to it's ridiculousness.
Pro Plentiful mod support
Extending from increasing difficulty to changing skins or stage backgrounds.
