Dante is a demon hunter who runs his own business: the "devil may cry". He thinks of himself as a private detective and only deals with "special affairs but is seen by his co workers as a man who accepts all dirty jobs.
From the very beginning, we learn that he is the son of the legendary dark knight Sparda, the demon who saved all human beings two millenniums ago by fighting against his own race.
The story begins when a woman called Trish asks him some help to destroy the 'underworld' and save human's world because there is a big danger: Mundus, the Evil emperor woke up on Mallet Island...
The player guides Dante who fights lots of monsters, the gameplay is really intuitive and the demon chase is quite addictive despite a traditional scenario. The player has a huge sword called Alastor and two guns (Ebony and Ivory) as well as two flame gloves.
He also has firearms which are only useful to beat accessible enemies and a grenade launcher. Dante can also change into demon and double his strike power and his moves but also retrieve lives. To go back to human form, he will have to hit his enemies or laugh at them.
