ABOUT THE GAME:
===============
by BANDAI VISUAL
Many of those who have heard about it in April of 2000, they could not believe
their ears. Instead, it is true, Devilman has been transformed by Bandai in a
video game for Playstation! Even in a good game I would say (though, of course,
entirely in Japanese-sigh!). Graphics a bit 'oscillating peaks artistic
surprising, as the introductory movie that simply leaves you breathless, and
points not really convincing, as the movie follows the introduction. However
convince Devilman 3d and how, carried out in every detail, beautiful and fierce
as they want his fans. The story is divided into two chapters, the first in
which you interpret that Akira must merge with Amon, the second in which you
interpret Devilman who must clear Miky kidnapped by demons. The CD is related
to a nice instruction booklet very colorful.


The video game reminds many ways Devilman Nintendo in 1989, with a brand new
look and feel. I refer primarily to the idea of the characters to save. In
fact, in Chapter 2 of the game you have to save many hostages before he could
release Miky who has been kidnapped. This idea was probably taken from the
original game to increase the difficulty, inserted the possibility that the
other characters being attacked by demons and asked the help of Devilman. You
could choose whether to grant or deny, if, however, was left to die
un'ostaggio, their score of humanity fell. The same applies to the new video
game: if you can not save un'ostaggio drops the final score of the level. It
seems strange to say if you stop at appearances, but the main difference
between the two games is that the first (the 89) is darker. And 'in fact set in
the advanced stage of the comic (even if initially you still need to merge with
Amon), hordes of demons to attack the city and most of the settings portrays
devastated cities where you move a few, frightened (and aggressive!) The
supestiti human. There are also anti-troops demons (when I saw them the first
time I shuddered!). The Playstation game is rather more focused on combat and
goes up to the clash with Silen.


To make the game more horrific the developers have seen fit to sweep a first
part (Chapter 1) of adventure in which you interpret that Akira helpless,
trapped in the haunted house of Ryo, trying desperately to escape the demons
that chase . This part is definitely the most successful, suspense, action, and
easy puzzles are carefully measured and demons are graphically very beautiful
and very well characterized (they have different strengths and weaknesses and
inteliggenza artificial reacts differently from demon to demon!) . Certain
actions, if carried out, may slightly alter the course of events so as to face
enemies more or less strong. Interesting (though very frustrating) the idea of
the bar indicates that fatigue fatigue Akira and prevent him from running over
a certain period without breath. Carina also the idea of flashbacks to tell the
beginning of the story, much more effective than a long introduction that most
know by heart (it's just that the manga and even the dialogues are essentially
those). Also interesting is the change in the plot towards the end of the first
part, if, in fact, initially the story takes place in a way almost identical to
the manga (only for the sake of the game and Akira Ryo split) when the
protagonists finally able to come to room the Sabbath, they find a little
surprise ... Not that it really changes the course of events so much, but I
find that this small change awakenings the player's attention on the plot.



The main shortcomings of the game, however, are unfortunately soon be visible.
The film, made with the same graphics of the game are often worth and textature
run at large for the screen in most of them, I just can not see why not they
have made with the same (Splendida!!) graphics sigletta initial. Then, in many
ways, the game is guilty of naivety thus avoiding too easily some monsters in
the game, but it all starts to become frustrating when a demon is implanted in
the middle in a wall or stuck in a corner! Bug decidedly unfashionable
highlighting some haste on the part of programmers to go on vacation.
Fortunately this does not happen too often, but I think once in a hour of play
is already too much for a modern video game. Another flaw is found quite
stressful at key points in the game that are immensely more difficult than
average. The problem with this is that you often find yourself stranded for
hours or days before action to be taken that you may not even raise a lot of
pathos, for example at the end of Chapter 1 you will finally merge with Amon
... and here comes the bad.
The scene is placed in a point in the game where you can not save and to be
able to transform into Devilman occore press the 4 buttons on the controller
several times VERY quickly. If you are not fast enough in a few seconds you
will be devoured by the demon of the moment, for more before this sequence and
after his death must attend a couple of short movies not just that you can not
jump. When, after death, he gives Continue the game, you resume from the point
where you have become but a fight before. If you imagine that before we have to
do and be able to do so then you have to repeat the scene at least ten times
you can imagine the oaths and curses that I sent to the developers of the game!
Not only is it a difficult scene but it is also so boring!


In Chapter 2, we interpret Devilman (you can still convert it back there in
Akira whenever you want) and the main purpose is to free Miky who has been
kidnapped by demons. The largest and most wonderful difference from Chapter 1
is the extraordinary ease with which Devilman to pieces demons. Spectacular and
satisfying. I read some book reviews of some criticism on this point, I agree,
as I said, it's very rewarding experience immediately the big difference
between the power of Akira and that of Amon. In addition, the fact that the
lesser demons are not easy to defeat makes it less difficult the game (the idea
of the second part looks like a scrolling beat-em: weak enemies but many mega
bosses very strong, in this case a too!), and allows you to become familiar
with the new commands, download a little 'mounting frustration and invent
spectacular combo. Yes, because in Devilman, as in fighting, there are moves,
very nice and partcolari with all the classical repertoire (wings Devilman
Devilman radius ...) and something new, plus you can invent your own
combinations and fatalities for mostly very sadistic but definitely having an
effect like "attarra the enemy - Tear the heart - and eat it!". Meet demons
well known as Ghelmer, Agwel and Jinmen but the game ends when you least expect
it leaving you with a written (in Japanese) rather puzzling that tells you that
Silen awaits for the final battle and gives you a score on your way to play the
game. Voting ranging from A (the highest) to C (sufficiency). In reality,
ranging from A to E (which are the votes of Japanese school) but of course if
you finish the game you should have at least enough. Well, after that the game
gave you your good mark risbatte you to the main menu. And Silen?!
In fact the game is not finished there is indeed a Chapter 3, in which the face
Silen precisely, but it is a hidden chapter and to be able to unlock it you
have to finish the game on Normal mode with a grade A (which includes a lot '
of things ...). Frankly, I find that putting the end of the game in a secret
level is an idea at least debatable (but as it occurred!). However, those who
managed to face speaks of Silen as an opponent virtually invincible! (The rest
of Devilman in the comic did not defeat mica ...).
If you try to unlock this Chapter careful to one thing: the final written
Japanese, which speaks of Silen, always speaks of an A, this is not, however,
the vote that you have reached you, but theoretically, you have to reach ( yes,
because the game warns you of the existence of Chapter 3 and also tells you how
to unlock even though in Japanese). Your vote will appear later.
The game also has another secret level, this time a beautiful idea, which is
called Special Chapter and is the TV version of the game. There is a new
soundtrack, new combos and fatalities, new storyline and especially the signing
of Devilman! There is only one flaw: it is easier to get to Chapter 3!
Basically just complete the game once (Chapter 1 and 2) within 2 hours and you
will see a new entry in the menu that says SPECIAL.
________________________________________
BRIEF EXPLANATION FOR THOSE WHO MUST ALSO STARTED:
The game of Devilman is NTSC, which is the mode of Japanese TV, so if your TV
supports only PAL (who is the western one) you will not see anything and you
will see the screen in rows dancing.
The game is all in Japanese though the dialogues of Chapter 1 are easily
ascertainable to those who have read the comic, there are simple puzzles to
solve and understand the language of some help but everything is still playable.
The main menu items are:

NEW GAME
LOAD GAME
OPTIONS:
Easy or normal difficulty
Vibration on or off
Stereo or mono
Description of controls:
not much use because it is kanjii but explains the commands to use and all the
moves plus some combo
Exit
The controls are really easy to understand and after a while you should know
most of them, however, I give you a list. Since they are different for Chapter
1 and 2 I have divided into two parts.
Chapter 1:
square: Commands Action, opens doors, picks up objects ...
O: Used to walk slowly without making noise (very useful for the entire first
chapter)
triangle is used to lower and walk on all fours.
X to jump (saltare. .. well let's say the small hops, you need more than
anything else to hang the handholds on the ceiling or exceed webs)
L1: around 180 degrees (which, is perhaps the most useful command of all!)
R1: Run (I highly recommend you use it only if you are on the carpet, or in
closed rooms, or you'll immediately upon the demon of the moment!).
Select: Open the menu from which you can select objects.
Start: Pause (a menu appears to disable or enable the vibrations).
commands R2 and L2 have no effect
Left, Right or Down to 2 times: fast moving or small jump in the chosen
direction (Left, Right, Back) useful to avoid the blows of the enemy.
Chapter 2:
Square: Punch
O: Shot of Judo (it has a stun effect on the opponent)
Triangle: Violent Attack (it has a stun effect on enemies if performed by
Devilman, Akira, however, can not stun with this move)
X: Football
L1: Turn 180 degrees
R1: Racing
Select: Transformation in Amon
Start: Pause (a menu appears to disable or enable the vibrations).
for commands R2 and L2 see the move list
During the course of the game you will find many items that can be used: some
keys or maps or other items to solve parts of the game, then there are bonuses
to recover life (HP) and energy bar fatigue (SP - S does not going to fatigue
but for Stamina).
These bonuses can be large in the form of tape, if you can collect them for use
at a later time, or shaped like a tube, collecting them if you use them
automatically. Are colored red if they recover HP and green if they are to the
SP.
________________________________________
PATCH
I found a patch for the game of Davilman is made by a group called PARADOX. If
I understand correctly the patch allows you to set the game for both NTSC and
PAL for. Contains more than two trainers (unlimited HP and SP):

WALKTHROUGH Chapter 1
(Original document - in English - Jean Fariña aka Kaiser_IV
Floor 1:

Subjects: - HP tape

Well, select New Game and prebarati to RUN!
Beginning with Chapter 1, after some video in real-time, you'll appear in a
room, here you can get a box that HP is on the left, then exit the room and go
left (there is a door if you go straight but not you still have the key), Akira
walking until he stops and shouts something, then continue and you will see the
first demon in a film sequence in real time see Ryo shoot the demon with a gun
and shoot Akira down the stairs.

Stage 2:

Subjects: - HP tape
- SP vial
- SP box
- HP large box
- Map
- Key

Watch the door to your left, go and take a box HP and SP which is a vial under
a table, bowed to her. Here is a save point (a blackboard with the words
"SAVE?"). Go out the door past the point of rescue, walking a fine cobweb and
enter the door, grab objects, move a barrel to get the map on the wall and
leave the room through the door over the barrel, you'll see a short cutscene,
after you need to go over the hole in the floor, you can try to jump and climb
on the other side (careful, if you fall into the hole you die), or just go left
and follow the path, use the map, after coming from 'On the other hand walks
into a room, not the one with the large door, grab objects and leaves the room,
enter the door wide. You will see a large spider demon, run to save you!

THE DEMON SPIDER: the author of the walkthrough probably did not realize one
thing: this demon is totally blind and is oriented along the sounds and feeling
with their legs in front and on the sides so if you walk quietly (hold down the
O key) the demon will not be able to feel your presence.
But be careful, not to get too because if you bump its paws hear you and will
be very difficult escape. Also be careful to another thing, if the daemon is
nearby you will also feel open and close the doors. Probably, in this first
scene the best thing to do is to really run because the demon will have you
heard the door open big plus in the hallway on the left there is a pendulum
that will sound when you will pass. But in all other situations it is best not
to panic and act quietly. In the corridors without carpet, unless you hurry
walk silently in the rooms and on the carpet and you to run better if you want
to finish the game within 2 hours.
Examine the map and go into the first room, take the items, continue until you
find a small passage with a vial SP, cross it and enter the room and go out the
other door, go into the corridor into a room with a save point, move the crate
to reveal a passage, being careful to cross it spider (since the corridor is
narrow and you have to go right, it is better to wait for the spider steps in
the hall and go through the passage going to your left or you'll sbarrerà the
road) and enter the room, take the items, you will find a key, go back to the
stairs and go to the locked room, use the key in the room go to the car with
the control panel, use the panel to choose the first A and then B, the spider
knock the door into the room but will hit the machine that vibrates, run and
move the barrel roll and BOOM. Now you can leave the room by the door that was
locked.
Note: The author in this scene blew up the car, but only if you time it right
you can take to burn the car also cursed demon spider! if you can the events
will be slightly different (and the game easier).
Now the map is no longer usable, you will find some items and a save point to
the right of a statue. In the hallway after you should see a door on the left,
jump and climb to avoid the spider on the floor, enter the door you get the
items, go out the other door and start a video of a cat and the spider that
chases you but then hear a and noise is gone. After the cutscene, enter the
door to your right, a cut scene, a giant worm demon appear from the floor, run
and jump over the holes, take objects, avoid the worm (looks easy) and go to
the stairs.
THE DEMON WORM: This demon chases you, indeed not even notice your presence but
shake a lot and spits acid from all sides, you have to be careful to take time
because you do not get hurt. It 'difficult but it is a mechanical thing how to
overcome a trap, because this demon has no IA

Floor 1 again

Subjects: Key-
-Various treatments

Climb the stairs and enter the room, here's a save point. Exit, a demon will
appear behind you, RUN! Move left and right to avoid the attacks, you will
reach a door, enter, go to the next door, there is a save point and a key, take
the key and leave the room through the other door. You will find the Mask of
the Demon (just that the manga), after the movie, press the action button on it
and you'll see another cutscene. Leave the room and go to the main lobby, the
place where there is the door through which you arrived before fleeing the
first demon, go left. Remember advice at the start of the walkthrougth warning
of a closed door? Open it and you will find some object and another key, now go
to the door you could not open before, across the room where you started the
game, open it. You are now in a passage dark blue and a movie is the demon that
breaks the windows with mental powers and pulls them against you (not all start
together but two by two then set to avoid them), run, avoiding the glass , at
the door. The new room is a library with a save point, grab the items, you will
hear again the cat, take the map and the key, open the locked door and exit, a
small movie shows Ryo running, go to the left and another movie shows that the
demon spider is fused with the cat (and now so that we can clearly see, even in
the dark and also makes the jump scary!), I hope you have a lot of stamina
(SP), you'll need it. There are 7 steps in the map 2F (second floor of the
courtyard) which are arranged roughly like this:
 	I put a number to each scale
HP has a big box down from the scale 2, there is also of 'SP each time the
daemon is to reach you upstairs. Be careful to take all the objects on the
first floor (1F).

Get out of the 7 steps, you are now at the 1F, go to scale 1, now you're on 2F,
choose the exit that I've marked with the @ symbol. When you're about to get a
movie shows Ryo killing the demon, follow the road to find Ryo.
After all the movies go on and take two items, go up and then left and take the
map that is on the ground next to a save point. You'll see the broken stairs,
go under them and take the 1st transistor (all are 3), go back to Ryo, go down
to the end, then turn left and then (the Demon Shadow meetings fades lights)
turn right, go down now and you'll be in a place where there are a lot of
boxes, search and you will find a transistor. Walk all the way down, then left,
follow the road until you find a trap door to the stairs, go down, in the room
there is a save point. Now go down until there is a road cut off, and climbed
over the ravine to the door, there are some tentacles of a demon in the room,
go right and jump on a rock in the water and climb goes on, then go to the
right until SP do not see a vial on the floor, climb again and go on to the
end, climb again and go left until you see a door, cross it, you find yourself
in a small room (there's a save point) and in after all, a great machine
(generator), go up the stairs and move the crate to get the last transistor,
back down, now you can activate the generator, after the movies, (after
avoiding the blows of Ryo!) after the demon caught the leg of Akira, to escape
press Square + X + O + trio, really quickly, very quickly, as long! ... CHA
CHAN!!
DEVILMAN E 'NATO! Here ends the first chapter.
