![]() The HD renders for each game, 2 included, are pretty fantastic. ![]() It’ll also be the most familiar of the three for those of you that have only played through Devil May Cry 4 on current hardware, but DMC 3 SE blows DMC 4 out of the water in my book, and is nearly worth the price of admission alone.Īs far as complaints go, I don’t have many. There’s an amazing fluidity to the combat, the bosses are all top notch, and while the game can be pretty punishing on its original difficulty, figuring out exactly how the combat system works and then going back to SS rank stages is incredibly satisfying. It’s easily my favorite of the series, and for me it’s where the whole stylish action system really came into its own. Still, it’s a really unique title, even compared to 3, and if you missed out on it before, or skipped ahead to DMC 3, then you should definitely try it out.ĭevil May Cry 3 SE, though, is where the fun really is. The only real complaint I have against DMC 1 is that the fixed camera will still sometimes work against you, and the sub-HD rendering of the game menus is a bit of an eyesore compared to everything else. If you’ve ever been put off by the difficulty of the other 2, you’ll probably find DMC 2 the most manageable title to play, but that lack of challenge kind of kills the excitement.ĭMC 1 holds up remarkably well for its age, and while it certainly shows a bit of wear on the visual side (polygons everywhere!), it’s definitely aided by a superior character, monster, and level design that keeps it feeling pretty modern in HD. It’s worth checking out for its superior Dante design, but the gameplay and action is so neutered in comparison to DMC 1 and 3 that it’s really hard to have any fun with the game. I had no issues jumping back into the mix, and thankfully these titles seem to be devoid of any glaring technical issues that sometimes plague HD up-ports of last gen titles.ĭevil May Cry 2 is still the odd one out though, but I’m glad that it gets included. The action is just as bone-crushingly hard as it ever was, and the controls carry over to modern systems well enough. This collection contains Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3 SE, in complete form with no unnecessary cuts or edits that I could find. It’s a testament to how well designed DMC1 and 3 were that they hold up as well as any modern title, and this HD re-master certainly improves upon the display found in the original PS2 discs. The Devil May Cry HD Collection is a pretty fantastic pick-up, regardless of whether you’ve played the hell out of the three games included, or you’re looking to get your feet wet with Capcom’s premiere action series for the first time.
