If you wanna use a controller thats not an xbox360 controller, download x360ce itll format your controller inputs to a 360 and the game runs perfect from there.

This game might be a funky devil may cry game but its still a devil may cry game nonetheless, the style and themes the series represents are all here in spades. While it might be a more western take and diverge from dmc2 and beyond, I would argue this is more like the first with its style and how it presents itself. I almost wish this version got its own series along with mainline because theres a lot of untapped potential. The combat is smooth and chaining moves together feels clean. Only real issue is that I ran through the game on hard in under 10 hours, maybe because I played dmc1 & 3 so recently but it felt way too easy for the hardest difficulty. Only level that gave me problems was the fire platforming combat section that was essentially an insta-kill if you got knocked off.

This game has a lot of love put into it, I'm pretty bummed out by the fact we'll never see a sequel but I feel like it earns its spot alongside the rest of the series, black sheep though it may be (even though DmC2 is the real black sheep not only is it a stinker of a game it's bugged to hell and crashes when you launch from the HD Collection, it also doesnt fit into the main storyline except at the very very end supposedly) the game is solid all around, as far as vergil fights go this one was pretty easy though.

Though a little dated, its top of the class early 2010 era game design coupled to ample style. While DmC dante has more in common with DmC3 dante the western take on him edges him out as an even more rambunctious knucklehead, its still dante no question. Pick it up on a frequent sale for 10 beans and experience a blast from the past
