This HD collection also touts Achievements (the PS3 version has Trophies support too). These are fun games to play.įor Xbox loyalists this is the first time any of these games have been available on the platform. While there’s enough value in playing the game for the story alone this is attractive for the more hardcore gamers and completionists out there as you try to best your score and earn the highest one available. At the end of each mission level you receive a letter grade/rating based on how well you did. Varying and linking attacks during combat increases your style points. The hook to the combat in DMC is that you are rewarded for style.

Wielding not just a sword, but two trademark pistols makes you feel pretty badass I must say. I instantly wonder if this isn’t where the creators of God of War got their inspiration. Wading through waves of foes I cannot help but be reminded of Kratos and the God of War series. The action in DMC revolves around the now iconic half human-half demon character of Dante. It doesn’t make for the ideal gameplay experience, but it is fun to see just how far games have come since those days. Unlike user controlled camera angles in games today, they were for the most part part of the issues in the older games. Cameras were often a bit of an issue when it came to many games in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. An example of what I’m talking about is the camera work found in the first couple of Devil May Cry games in this package.
Devil may cry hd collection for xbox 360 series#
While HD collections are a service for the hardcore fans, and can introduce gamers to a series they may have not played, these collections can also be a fun, almost time capsule-like, experience that let us look back at gaming periods gone by. The high level of difficulty that fans craved made a successful return with DMC3 and the game seemed to return to form. While the second game in the series sold like hotcakes it didn’t fare nearly as well critically and fans of the series complained that the difficulty had been toned down too much. A Metacritic score of 94 is a testament to just how good of a game it is. In a nutshell the first DMC was extremely well received with a style-oriented approach to combat against hordes of bad guys, a focus on combos, and intense difficulty.

These games have been reviewed enough that I don’t feel it necessary to go in to all of the gritty details about each.

It wasn’t until the fourth iteration that DMC was first available on the Xbox platform. Originally released in 2001, the Devil May Cry (DMC) series was a PlayStation exclusive for its first three games.
