After playing God of War, I was very interested in getting Devil May Cry. In fact, I bought Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition the day that it came out. My impressions...?
The game is awesome. The combat system is deeper than God of War and it is also MUCH faster. It is much harder to defend in this game as there is no "block" button unless you use the Royal Guard fight style (my style of choice). You've got to be on the move, dodging a lot. It's very interesting how you can hear enemies coming a split second before they attack. Having a good sound system really helps when playing this game. It took me a little while to get use to it, but once you do, there is no turning back.
As far as sountracks are concerned, both are awesome. Devil May Cry 3 has more metal and techno style music to get the gamer pumped up. Personally, I prefer the powerful orchestral sounds of the God of War sountrack. Dante is a fantastic character, but the story is no where near as good as God of War's. Few games have better stories than God of War though...
I love the fact that you can switch weapons, both melee and projectile weapons, on the fly. It leads to a very dynamic combat system where you can shoot an enemy in the face with your twin pistols like 20 times, run up to them and slash them with your sword a couple of times, switch to your gauntlets and mess the guy up more at close range, hit them up into the air, shoot them like 10 more times with your pistols, and then finish them off with a shot from your rocket launcher.
If that doesn't sound awesome to you, then I can't do any better to convince you.
