So, I'll start the review by saying that I have never played the original SD versions of these games. I own them, but every time I tried to start them I got discouraged. Probably because I've been spoiled by too many new games with amazing graphics and because I came too late to this series. But I've always wanted to play.Enter the DMC HD collection. I pre-ordered it the instant I heard about it and have been itching to play it. From the moment I got it into my console (ordered PS3 version, BTW) I have been pretty glad that I waited. I was rewarded with HD content that, for the most part, made me feel like I was playing a newish game. That's not to say it's on par with GOW3 or anything...but there are definitely improvements. Speaking of God of War, much like the HD re-release of that series, cut scenes have not been remastered in HD. This was maddening when I saw it in GOW, and I'm equally thrown by it now. I'm not expert, but I would have thought it would be easier to re-render a pre-programmed cut scene than an entire world of objects and bad guys. If anything, the cut scenes serve to remind you of how playing this game USED TO look, and can make you feel better for having the HD version. (Gotta find the positive here folks).The gameplay seems pretty smooth and not glitchy at all (freezing, camera plowing through walls, etc.) other than what I state below in regards to the camera angles.I can't speak to any bonus content, because I don't know what's been added from the original version.With all that being said, it would seem that camera issues from the original series have likely found their way onto this re-release. Not surprising since it's likely just a direct port with slightly better graphics. I remember reading soooo many complaints about the camera during DMC1 and DMC2. So far I haven't been absolutely frustrated that I've wanted to thrown my controller, but there are a few times when you're like..."What the?..." because it's hard to see the baddie or where you're supposed to go. I mean, the first boss fight (some crazy lava spider thing) is maddening because as you go around this room camera angles keep changing and it's hard to tell where you are, if there's a pillar in front of you, or if you're walking into the jaws of the boss. The weirdest part is that, say you're pushing left to go forward in the game and the camera flips around 180 degrees. You're still pressing left (forward originally), and moving forward....but with the new point of view, left should actually be taking you backwards. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. (Don't know if that makes sense) A little odd, but as I said, I haven't pulled my hair out completely....yet.Absolutely worth the money on a re-visit (or new visit in my case) of a great (if not slightly odd at times) series. If you are looking for a new hack and slash game, you should give this one a go. I won't get into the GOW / DMC / Ninja Gaiden / Your Favorite Hack-N-Slash Game debate here, as that is beyond me. I'm a casual gamer, not hard core. But, for the fun of a new story and some cool playability, I totally would recommend this for anyone. Should you get it if you have already played or own the original series? I'm guessing probably not, but maybe someone else who reviews the additional content can weigh in.Looking forward to DMC3 as much as anything on this disc. Heard great things and can't wait to get there.***UPDATE: Made a few clarifications above. I've been playing for about 2 weeks now and can't say as I'd really change anything above. Again, I'm happy with the game, happy with the price, happy to have the collection all together, and happy to experience all the good (and bad) from the original...with slightly better graphics. My apologies for not being able to say truly whether all of the camera glitches are still present, or if the new content is "worth it", because I never played the originals. I stand by my original statement...a fun series (so far) and worth getting if you've never owned it. If you already own it, not sure if there's a ton for you here. Shouldn't be too much longer until I'm at DMC3, which is the one that I've heard the most about. Looking forward to it.***Update: Yeah....I never made it past DMC2 as I just got completely overwhelmed with school and work. I hope to revisit the game and my review, but with GOW Origins and GOW Ascension waiting to be played....it's not going to be soon. I really am looking forward to DMC3 though. Sorry 'bout that.I still remember where I was 11 years ago when the first Devil May Cry game was released. My brother, 7 years my senior, rented it from the local video and game rental store in town, and came home excited to for me to see this game in action. We both sat down in the living room, popped open our Playstation 2, placed the slightly worn disk in the system, and began our adventure. He was always the action-adventure player, whereas I usually play RPG's, but this time it was different. He wasn't able to get too into the game, as he prefers more retro action games and a lighter atmosphere. After the first level he decided to leave the room, so I picked up the remote and began my 11 year love for DMC. The Devil May Cry: HD Collection is a fitting compilation for long-time fans as well as newcomers to the series. The games generally do not have a steep learning curve, but for the newer players I do recommend playing on an easier setting; this game can be difficult to the point of moderate to severe gamer rage. Since this is only a high-definition upgrade of the first three entries in the series, and not a complete remake of the games, only a few parts of the original games have changed, but said changes are still noticeable and welcome. Firstly, the graphics are the primary overhaul to all three games. All three games are much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye, with major improvements to textures, faces, lip movements during cut scenes, and environments. If you really want to rest the depth of the HD upgrade, pay attention to the character's eyes in cut scenes; they shine as bright as any modern game should. One problem still remains is that the clothing on everyone still looks more like body paint with some random frills on the exterior. It would probably be too much for just an HD upgrade to make the clothing look more realistic, but it does prevent the characters from really looking up to par with modern games. Another noticeable upgrade is the combat system. Although it doesn't get any major changes or additions, since the graphics are so much cleaner and sharper, and the game as a whole is much faster paced (less loading times thankfully), the action in this game finally feels as intense as it should. Simple upgrade or not, the camera angles are still as awful and clumsy as ever and still affect gameplay in a bad way. Hopefully future games in the series this won't be a problem, but for now it is. Not many new features were added, and the ones that were aren't too special. There is a main HD menu when you first load the game which is nice, but sadly when you pick one of the three games you're trapped in it until you reset back to the main system hub. It's not a major problem, but it's still annoying if you like to jump between games often. The game adds an extra art gallery section to the main menu, featuring official as well as fan art. The art isn't a major addition, but maybe some people will enjoy it. My favorite part of the HD collection is the addition of trophies and achievements. Hey, you might break a few controllers when playing the game, but at least you can show off how many insane bosses you've beaten! In conclusion, the Devil May Cry: HD Collection is a fantastic collection of three of the biggest games of all time all packaged into one case. For a $40 price tag, a few new features, trophies and achievements, and upgraded visuals and gameplay, it's definitely worth the price. Go out, buy this game (and a few extra controllers) and say it as Dante would: "Let's rock!"[...]Link to the official Devil May Cry facebook page.The Devil May Cry Collection (PS3) is a great way to experience 3 gems of the PS2 era of gaming. The collection gives the player the opportunity to play all 3 games with improved graphics and textures. Gameplay is enjoyable although the camera may annoy players. Very often the camera moves around unnecessarily and has a hard time keeping up with the action on-screen. These issues were prevalent in the original versions of the game as well. Overall, this game provides players with great value. Newcomers and players of the original will have a great time if they enjoy action games.Llego muy bien empacado y a tiempo, con una buena oferta en el momento que se aprovecho, recomendamos mucho este juego para su entretenimiento es todo un clásico, gracias.Todo perfecto. El juego funciona bien y la caja es completamente nueva. Nada de detalles de posible uso anterior.All game titles are independent story lines, but getting 3 games for low price is worth it. A lot of button mashing for DMC 1 & 3 where as the second game you can hold the fire button and he will automatically fire. Games look good and the action is non-stop. I like these titles and will continue to get the latest releases. I found the first game to be hard even in normal mode but in the end I'm glad I stuck through it and won.Had to buy this since, I got a used copy of DMC (The first one) that didn't work. I now had the chance to complete the story. The third one is still by far the best out of all the DMC's.
