This is the franchise that inspired the action-adventure genre as it is known today; it helped create a basis for titles such as God of War. Featuring the half human, half demon bounty hunter, Dante, each game delivers stylish, fast-paced action accompanied by thought-provoking puzzles.
Don’t expect a large amount of changes to the original content, though. If you feel there is nothing new for you in this series, then this product will not warrant a pruchase. These are basically the same great Devil May Cry games (well, at least I enjoyed Devil May Cry 2) with a facelift and the addition of achievements/trophies. The HD graphics compliment the games and the terrific gameplay remains unaltered. However, it’s too bad that Capcom didn’t allow full remapping of the controls in any of the entries.
Complete with a whopping 99 achievements/trophies, you are getting Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition; three classic games for $40 (or should I write, “2 great games for $40;” that stupid joke continuously said since this was announced)!
With the remake on the way (please don’t ruin it, Ninja Theory), this collection is perfect for those who want to dive into the roots of where this franchise started; or for those who want nothing to do with the remake. Lastly, if you have never played these titles, and you are a fan of action games, then this HD collection is the perfect chance to become acquainted with the greatest demon killer to have ever lived (in a video game, that is): Dante.
