Nice remastered version of classic action-adventure title for a trendsetting genre.

I would not recommend this game to people who are very bad at games. It will cause you to be frustrated if you are. Now i recommend it to hardcore gamers and people who want a good challenge. Devil may cry 1,2, and 3 are in this disc. I personally dislike dmc 1 and 2. Devil may cry 3 is probably the best hack and slash game I have ever played. I like all the different weapons you can choose from and the styles. Styles are basically you're abilities. You can choose from Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger, Royalguard, Quicksilver, and Doppleganger. Trickster is probably the one you want to stick to you're find time playing around since it can help you dodge around moves and teleport. Swordmaster is the style to choose if you want to have flashly moves. Gunslinger is okay if you want to look cool with guns, but i personally never used it. Royalguard is for veterans who now exactly when to block. Doppleganger is when you just want to summon another you who mimics whatever you do. What i like about doppleganger is the fact that you can have a 2nd player controlling it when you press start on the 2nd controller. Now quicksilver is my favorite style, it's where you can slow down time. This made it much easier for my to pass the difficulties. If you're a first timer i recommend you play through the difficulties in order, so you can get enough red orbs (you get them from killing monsters) to level up you're skills and weapons. You also unlock costumes on hard and dante must die mode which give you infinite devil trigger which is basically you're ultimate form. You regenerate your health and can slow down time infinitely. Overall i rate this a 10/10 because it felt so satisfying to beat all the difficulties and to get all the achievements. Although i really didn't like DMC 1 and 2.

Every once in a while, a title comes along that re-defines the future of gaming. It's a turning point in game development, and spawns hundreds of budget clones that try to cash in while it's hot. In 2001, DMC was one of those games. It single-handedly invented the action game genre as we know it. DMC3 invented true Stylish Action- with weapon switching, evasive maneuvers, and over-the-top powers. The ports are really solid. I had some concerns after reading about the problems with other HD collectiosn recently, like the Silent Hill HD Collection. Visuals are crisp and clean, and the games look excellent considering their age. DMC1's textures hold up surprisingly well (shows how far good art direction can go) aside from the pixelated skybox or so. DMC3 looks absolutely gorgeous. They added some anti-aliasing, and the motion capture looks impressive even by today's standards. The only gripe that some people might have is that various menus and cutscenes (the ones that are full motion video) are still in 4:3 ratio. This isn't a dealbreaker for me, and recreating these videos would have been pretty impractical. Some people are saying that they stretched the aspect ratio of the games to fit the widescreen. THIS IS ERRONEOUS. They actually widened the viewing area to 16:9, which makes some of the camera angle griefs much better. Of course, the entire series runs at 60fps for buttery smooth combat. No hiccups or framerate issues. No technical glitches or bugs. The gameplay is pretty much flawless. As for extras, the Vault comes with a collection of never before released pre-production concept art. One of the other reviewers on Amazon said that this is all stuff you can get on the internet, but it's simply not true. There are several pieces of art from back when DMC1 was a Resident Evil title. These never made their way to the general public. There's also a nice selection of music from each of the three titles. This is, unfortunately, incomplete, but it's still a nice touch. Throw your favorite track on while you peruse the gallery. DMC2 is a throwaway title. It always has been. Don't let that discourage you because DMC1 and DMC3 together are worth well more than the $40 asking price. Even so, it looks as good as it ever has. If you have ANY interest at all in action games, maybe you want to see what all the hubbub is about, or if you want to revisit these incredible titles with gorgeous visuals, you owe it to yourself to pick up this collection.

The biggest complaint I seem to find in this game is "The HD upgrade isn't much of an upgrade". Compare the two side by side, HD vs original. The FPS is far higher, the blacks are a lot better, the gameplay is smoother, and there is a LOT more detail. the video below would help to prove my point.

Started playing it and I started to like it, but when there got to be more action in it I LOVE IT!!!
