5.0 out of 5 stars Great games for an even better price, December 27, 2006

This is a fantastic collection for the price. The first and third are absolute gems of games, with quality graphics (especially considering that DMC 1 was made in 2001), smooth action, and an engaging story.

The second game in the series was a bit of a step backwards, but only when compared to the other games in the series. Viewed on its own, it's still a fun game. It just limited some of the expansiveness that made the original so engaging.

The third went back to the roots in many ways, and at the same time built on the series. The game was made to be more challenging, graphics improved, and it became an even deeper experience than before.

Even with the relative dud sandwiched into this set, the entire collection is a wonderful value at just $10 per game -- cheaper than most any brand new bargain bin game you can find. This is one of the true classic series on PS2, and a must for any collection. Whether you were a fan of one of the games, or have never tried any in the series, go out and get this collection. You will not regret it.

You get the first three games for a good price. The story order is actually interesting if you would like to play it that way instead it is 3, 1, 2. If you have a Playstation 3 or a XBox 360 note that you can play the whole series in order by playing 3, 1, 4, 2. Well at least as far as the story is concerned.

You play as Dante in these three titles who is a Devil Hunter, but he's half devil himself. His father was the legendary Sparda who was the first to defend humans from his own kind. While his mother has little information mentioned on her. Not being entirely human he can call upon his devil half and transform his body for increased strength and speed. He also has access to new abilities such as flying depending on the weapon you have equipped.

The games have a good amount of action in them and the puzzles can be slightly difficult without being overly frustrating. You have to work pretty hard to find all of the secrets in the game and the hidden missions often tend to be very difficult. If you are a true completionist you will need to explore the levels very thoroughly. The game's difficulty ranges from being very easy to extremely difficult depending on the mode you pick. Dante Must Die Mode is for the true experts as one hit from any enemy will kill you. In my opinion this collection is well worth it and puts the games at roughly $10.00 a piece which is really good if you looked up their new prices on sites like e-bay.
