![]() Upon seeing the title screen for Devil May Cry I was nervous about what the game itself would look like, considering the menus were not updated. The biggest update in the collection is obviously the graphics. As I said, the stories are incredibly convoluted and the basic plot lines are about all I can manage to understand. In Devil May Cry 3, a prequel to the first game, Dante is trying to defeat his brother Vergil for helping bring a demon tower into the real world. Devil May Cry 2 features a slightly older Dante trying to defeat Arius, a demon attempting to take over the world using demonic power. With all of the odd plot twists it has always managed to elude me.ĭevil May Cry follows Dante in his pursuit to kill the demon Mundus, who killed Dante’s parents. The stories have always seemed like another language to me. The dialogue is mostly cheesy, but still retains some of the humor it had ten years ago. The games follow demon slayer Dante as he meets the most random cast of characters that has ever existed in a series of games. Menus and the CG cutscenes have not received any sort of visual upgrade, retaining the pixelated grainy look as they did ten years ago. Upon selecting which one you want to play you are then stuck in that game until you decide to quit to the Xbox Dashboard or the PlayStation 3’s XMB. After loading the game there is the standard HD Collection menu that lets you pick which game you want to play. The biggest non-gameplay complaint I have is pretty minor, but I still was not happy about it: the presentation. The collection stays true to the original games and even includes the Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition as an added treat. The Devil May Cry HD Collection comes packaged with the first three games in the series and for the first time Xbox owners can enjoy the series. The second game in the series is not the worst game ever, but compared to the other two (of the original trilogy) it is fairly negligible. Fans will say that Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 3 are the best, although the fan base between the two are fairly equal. The Devil May Cry series has always been a mixed bag. The game was scheduled to be released on April 3, but when the release date for the title was dropped, and the game could be purchased as soon as stores got them in, I rushed to my local GameStop. When it was finally announced, I cried tears of joy. When it was not shown at E3 last year, my heart dropped. I had known it was only a matter of time. When the Devil May Cry HD Collection was rumored, I was ecstatic. It was the second Mature-rated title I ever played, preceded only by Resident Evil.
