   Its hard to believe ten years have passed since Dante first swaggered onto our screens in the Devil May Cry series and now here is our chanceIts hard to believe ten years have passed since Dante first swaggered onto our screens in the Devil May Cry series and now here is our chance to catch up. Capcom has managed to do a better job this time around compared to the sloppy HD Resident Evil Collection and disappointing issues with the HD Silent Hill Collection we have a HD collection that stands up to its gaming legacy. Sadly the cutscenes remain in original 4;3 aspect but everything else has being brought up with a nice modern lick. DMC and DMC3 are the picks of the litter whereas 2 is the black sheep, but remains playable and a prime example of how to severely take a series in the wrong direction.
   
   Devil May Cry set the standard for action games at the time and remains a solid romp with some tough boss fights, plenty of action and camp action. DMC3 remains in my opinion the best action game available. It contains a wealth of content, introducing styles, a huge variety of environments, great variety in enemies and some fantastic set pieces.
   
   An excellent collection released at a brilliant price and worth is place on anyones shelf beside Bayonetta, God Of War and Ninja Gaiden.… Expand

Despite owning all of them on Ps2 it's a must buy for me. All three games are the games without which modern games wouldn't be the same. Capcom may say everything they want, old Dante is one of the coolest game characters that were ever made. The price was also pretty good, I even was ready to pay mor for it. Nothing, not even new dmc could ruin this game.… Expand

   Not the best example of how to release a collection of two of gaming's favourite sons, as well as brining their their simple minded siblingNot the best example of how to release a collection of two of gaming's favourite sons, as well as brining their their simple minded sibling (DMC2) along for the ride. From a technical perspective Capcom could have put a lot more effort into fleshing out the decals and ensuring that the sound and frame rate never shuddered to spoil our action, but I can't complain. It does what it says on the tin; lets you enjoy the Devil May Cry series and show case just why these games still stand the test of time.… Expand

   NOTE: The score at the top reflects the over all package of the collection not for each of the individual games.
   The over all HD collectionNOTE: The score at the top reflects the over all package of the collection not for each of the individual games.
   The over all HD collection is a great way to be introduced to one of the most influential series in gaming that created the hack and slash genera. The collection it self may not have the highest graphical fidelity and some of the environment models seem dated but it is still a worth while package.
   
   Devil May Cry Hd:
   Score: 7/10
   The game that started the hack and slash genre is a game that still holds up in some areas but is held back by other areas. The fixed camera can be a problem when trying to locate your way through-out the
   castle. The voice acting is pretty wooden and some of the audio has its hick ups. For example, the deamons and bosses can be heard very clearly while Dante's audio is very quiet and can be barely be hear. It doesn't help that for some reason the other characters have subtitles as opposed to Dante. The game does shine through the deep combat system which gives way for multiple combos and how it rewards you for varying your tactics. The boss battle in particular really test your skills and the overall game design leaves the door open for further expansion on the combat.
   
   Devil May Cry 2 Hd:
   Score: 4/10
   The second game unfortunately takes a few steps backwards from the standards set by its predecessor. The story is really inconsequential to the over all mythos and the chrecmasic Dante lost all of his charm in this game aside from the occasional scene. The combat had been heavily watered down as the game sometimes encourage you to repeat the same combos to defeat the opponents. The enemy's have very neat designs but they never felt threating even on Dante Must Die mode. The bosses where also very shallow with the exception of the final boss on Dante's side. The campaign with Lucia had potential as it is about her finding her own identity but the story lacked the depth required for me to care. It can easily be said that Devil May Cry 2 is the weakest entry in the series.
   
   Devil May Cry 3 HD:
   Score: 9/10
   Fortunately the designers behind he second game made marginal improvements over the prequel to the original game. They moved from making the weakest entrance to the series with the strongest entry in the series. The games combat had more depth and the weapons you aquire from bosses are more satisfying to use. The game is difficult but fair (for the most part). The bosses really stand out and test your skills that you use throught the game. This is even the one case that I can thik of in which a prequel is better than the original work as the story is much more fleshed out and Dante is even more likeable than he was in the first entry. The biggest highlight of the game story wise was the rivalry between Dante and his twin brother Vergil as it showed their conflict and their grudging respect for each other. As climatic as the final boss battle is though, Vergil does seem a little too overpowered after he achieves his devil trigger form. The fight against Arkam also gives you a forced handicap as the core mechanics change when Vergil enters the fray. Aside from that and the fact that you need to constantly go through menus to change your weapons and to purchase upgrades, Devil May Cry is my favorite Hack and Slash game of all time and is the pinnacle of third person action games.… Expand
