    great collection of games. as usual for these types of collections. its a great experience for first time players to enjoy. but probably not much for people who have played this before.

    It's a pretty solid and economic port. I would have liked the adittion of checkpoints during the missions from the first game but still it isn't a harsh game.

    As far as a remaster goes its okay. 3 is definitely the highlight. There really isn't much of a story to miss out on until then. The combat holds up fairly well. Dmc 2 was only good for making your fingers cramp. Its for sure the ugly step child of the series. Dmc 1 was tough as hell . It had a really great atmosphere. Music gets your heart pumping.

    Only one game in this trilogy is worth a playthrough and you can buy it seperatly so I recommend buying the third one because there is no point the the other two because of their dull gameplay and acting but the third game is a masterpiece.

    Just making a review to point at the obvious thing people seem to miss; a remaster is not a remake, this is literally called "HD COLLECTION", not "REMAKE COLLECTION".

    I bought this game to be able to play again the 3 I had played so many years ago and I decided to play from the 1 since it was available.
    The Disappointment was huge with 1 and 2. I don't even say about graphics and heavier gameplay compared to 3, but with the story I also found it very weak lol. The intro of 3 entertained me more than all the cutscenes of 1 and 2.

    Of course this is an opinion, but I saw so many criticisms of 4 when it launched that when I look at 1 and 2 I don't know what I was being compared to...

    Now to talk about 3, I have practically no criticisms.
    The story / custscenes are very engaging, well done and I think it's practically a miracle with what was possible on the ps2. The gameplay is very good and for those who like platinum it's nothing absurd to do.

    It does what it says. It's the HD collection of the first three. Just cutscenes weren't rescaled and DmC2 crashes if you are on desktop and try to alt+tab.

    if you ever want to revisit the dmc games on ps2, this is the perfect collection for it (please dont play DMC2). also to mention the load times are basically non-existent which means you dont have to wait 3 years for a stage to load.

    This is a good collection of remastered games. I recommend playing Devil May Cry 1 and Devil May Cry 3 (DMC2 doesn't worth it). I had a good time with those games who are the ancestors of similar games like God of War or Darksiders. I found the remasters a bit lazy though as I wasn't impressed by the graphics.

I think the games are a bit hard for the casual player, especially DMC 3. Devil May Cry 1 is difficult but you will often have to fight against camera angles or ennemies that pop out of the screen.

    As someone who has recently just played this collection and Devil May Cry 1, 2, and 3 for the first time, there are three things new players should know: 1. The camera can be TERRIBLE at times. 2. There can be many, MANY cheap enemies and bosses. 3. The gameplay as a whole is outdated and can even be slow with inputting your actions at times. This also isn't the game you can just glideAs someone who has recently just played this collection and Devil May Cry 1, 2, and 3 for the first time, there are three things new players should know: 1. The camera can be TERRIBLE at times. 2. There can be many, MANY cheap enemies and bosses. 3. The gameplay as a whole is outdated and can even be slow with inputting your actions at times. This also isn't the game you can just glide through (if you're just playing casually), this is a hardcore series of games and it can make you rage at times. Now... for the games themselves...

    Devil May Cry: I personally didn't like this one. It was easy to traverse the different areas and exploring was fun to do but the gameplay and camera aren't good at all. The camera came from (as many already know) Resident Evil 4 as Devil May Cry was a prototype for it. However, that doesn't mean it has dated well AT ALL. The gameplay isn't any better with it being really slow and enemies being really fast doesn't help. Some bosses (such as the first boss) will spam fireballs at you and it can take away half your health! Speaking of, finding extra health can be a pain as well and if you haven't been looking around throughout the levels to find some health, you're in for a bad time. The story overall is generic too but I guess it holds true where most Devil May Cry fans don't come for the story and only for the hardcore gameplay. Oh and for the music... it was pretty good for the first game of the series.

    Devil May Cry 2: This one is... odd for me because it IS a game and I don't think it's that bad of a game either. Every DMC fan will say this game is garbage and yes it is weaker than the first game but I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a bad game. That being said, it is a disappointing sequel. Enemies rarely attack you, you can beat the game without using the sword, the plot makes you think there was supposed to be a Devil May Cry 1.5 or something to tie in what happened and why Dante has suddenly become Shadow the Hedgehog, and the bosses can be underwhelming too (one being particularly cheap). However, the music here was pretty good as well, nothing memorable but still good and having two characters you can play as was a fun idea too even though you just go through the same levels forward and backward.

    Devil May Cry 3: Dante Awakening: Now... I want to get this out of the way saying the music, plot, and characters are absolutely AMAZING. Everything is memorable for the right reasons and that is how it should always be with this series. That being said, this game is HARD. I think fighting regular enemies is fine and even fun but the bosses... Oh boy. These bosses can be a mix of difficulty and just flat out cheap in some of the things they do. One boss fires projectiles at you and there is no way to dodge unless you have Royal Guard equipped and even then, you need to be perfect with it or you get hurt and these bosses can easily drain your health to nothing. I should mention that the camera angles did get better with this one, probably because of the more open areas compared to the first game.

    Overall, the HD Collection gets a 5/10 from me. I personally won't be going back to any of these games unless they get remastered (or in DMC2's case remade). There are good things in each of these games such as the music and characters but other than that, these games didn't age that well.    … Expand

    This is mostly gonna be a review of Devil May Cry 3 because I could not really get into the the other ones. God for me Devil May Cry 3 is one of the greatest action games that has been made only surpassed by few others . Thing I can say is that I would like it to be more like the fourth game but that is a silly complaint . And it has one of the best stories in an action game

    All of these games are enjoyable, with DMC2 being controversial. However these remakes are an insult to our PS4s. The graphics have barely changed, and in some places are worse. This is more of a port than a remaster.

    On a side note I do hope they eschew the punishing combo system in future iterations.

    Avoid. Stick to the PS2 versions.

    The games are still relatively competently made and the first and third entries stand out as pinnacles of the Hack-n-Slash genre, but the overt lack of care that has been afforded to this collection makes me reticent to recommend it to all except those who possibly haven’t experienced the series yet and are curious to see what all the fuss is about.
