Its gameplay remains a sheer joy, proving a testament to the dazzling ageless gameplay design at the time. Revisiting the title showed me that this game still has a feeling of uniqueness that makes it stand out no other games have really captured the same feeling as Dante’s first outing. It’s now eleven years later, so how does Devil May Cry stand up? To my surprise, the first game holds up rather well. At the time of release, Devil May Cry was simply the must game to get if you had a PlayStation 2. Dante has to explore around this castle, slaying demons, beating bosses, opening new areas and generally kicking arse. The entirety of the game was set around a small island featuring a giant Gothic castle slap bang in the middle. By combining these two weapons together in combat, Dante can hack and blast foes into a flashy juggling combo showcase as the aim is to get the almighty “Stylish” rating. Dante, the hero of these three games, carries a huge sword and dual pistols. This was a super-stylish pure action game from the brilliant mind of Hideki Kamiya (the guy who brought you the exceptional Bayonetta) and revolutionised the action genre with challenging and distinctive gameplay never before seen. This review isn’t going to break down the games instead, it is more of an overview of each one, how they have aged overtime and how they look in their new HD crispness.įirst up is Devil May Cry, which was released back in 2001. This is most likely more of a bigger deal for Xbox gamers, since this is their first chance to play the older games. Since Devil May Cry 4 is already out on both the Xbox 360 and PS3, it now means you can get the complete set on your console of choice. Thankfully, Capcom have done a good job in making the Devil May Cry HD Collection worthwhile, with only some small irksome features – mostly down to the oldness of the games – that get in the way of a great collection.įeatured on this HD Collection are all the PlayStation 2 games, meaning Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition. A HD collection should be the best representation of that video game, but truth be told, some publishers see this as quick cash in or don’t put as much love into the conversion as they should do. These HD collections that video game publishers are releasing are brilliant ways for people to experience game series they never got around to.
