Fire the shotgun faster

When using Ebony & Ivory and the shotgun, you can shoot the shotgun faster by firing, switching to Ebony & Ivory with L2 (default), firing once or twice with them, then switching back to the shotgun. If timed correctly, you can fire the shotgun as if it were one of your pistols. Note: This trick can be used with other weapons, such as Artemis, but may not work as well.

Subliminal messages

At the ending or beginning of every mission there is a subliminal message during an intermission sequence. For example, at the start of mission 7, when the FMV sequence plays Dante wipes blood off his forehead onto a wall, which runs down into the figure "7". Sometimes the number is in the murky clouds and at other times it is found in hard to see places.
