Pros
Pro Fantastic use of multiple fighting mechanics
The player can couple the fighting mechanics of the game in order to feel powerful and like a "bad ass". You can shoot an enemies legs, to then run up to them to then kick their legs out from under them, to then knife them to death while they are down. This interesting combination of tactics allows for the player to feel powerful as well as makes for an fun to play game that balances ammo against hand to hand fighting maneuvers.
Pro Excellent story, well rounded abilities and insane combos
Pro 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.

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.
Cons
Con Limiited in movement
Unlike later games in the series, in 4 you cannot move while you shoot. Some people may enjoy this control scheme, while others may hate it. One thing is for sure, it is limiting if you consider this game a third person shooter.

Con Terrible controller support
The default controls for the game with a controller do not work that well and will most likely require a third party fix.

A keyboard binding exists, but it is impossibly complicated for anyone to use.
