What was said about Devil May Cry 3
Devil May Cry 3 ranks combos to push players toward mastering its system. Style ranks run from Dope up to SSStylish. They reward varied, hard moves and unbroken combos, so players are pushed to learn a complex combat system instead of repeating one safe attack.
Game Maker's Toolkit's Mark Brown cites it among the games that taught him design. He notes that scoring systems like this fell out of favour in the mid 2000s.
