    I enjoyed those games in the day but I just have a feeling they haven't aged well. That is a total guess but it's what I think. Also I'd only want 3 so if they sold it separate i may grab that

    I finished DMC3 on an emulator last year and it looked much better than the HD collection version, admittedly I can only judge from the trailers.

    Some of the HD collections are pointless because I can just go and buy the game dirt cheap on the PS2 and then emulate them better.

    I guess if you don't have a half decent PC capable of emulation your choices are PS2 or slightly better looking port.

    I won't be getting it, don't buy any HD collections but even if I did, this wouldn't be one of them. The games are still great but in a post Bayonetta world I really wouldn't be interested in playing them again.

    Been playing this today. Good stuff. The menus being the original menus aren't really that bothersome. Great stuff so far. Just be warned people with headphones...this game is LOUD and there are NO volume options in the games so crank that volume knob down before you turn the game on.

    @birdflu777: Isn't that enough?

    If you want specifics, I can mention that the bosses are high health, low tactics slugfests, where you are just standing still blasting them.

    It's not remotely as hard as the other two.

    The story is even dumber than the rest, but it actually takes itself seriously and goes for a serious tone.

    ITS NOT FUN!

    I believe it was also infamous for somehow looking worse than DMC1.

    @FLStyle: I can't say for sure, but I think I remember that they increased the detail on everything, but that just made it look like ass on that low resolution. And they tried a more goth and dark artstyle, instead of the bit more cartoony style in 1. It just wasn't as appealing.

    DMC3 was great. I haven't played much of the first game but DMC2 was a real stinker.

    I'd say it's worth it for DMC3 alone, though. I kinda wanna get it myself, but...money is an issue as always.

    In dmc2 they managed to make a game where you beat up zombie tanks and helicopters. Then have a boss fight against a skyscraper.

    AND STILL MANAGED TO MAKE IT A BAD GAME

    I think this collection looks really good. Much better than any emulator videos I have seen.

    nah, just play god of war. or, as most would be quick to mention, bayonetta.. but i prefer the greek mythology setting and general atmosphere of the GoW series. DMC games are relatively difficult.

    The wager was that the old woman in the episode of Hannah Montana we were watching was played by the very same old woman from Wedding Crashers. You said it couldn't be her, no way. And it cost you a slightly better than average character-action game!

    There's never been any DMC coverage on this site. I'd love a quick look of this, if only to find out what the guys think of the series.

    I've been thinking of picking this up, but I don't know if I could play DMC in a post-Bayonetta world. Anyways, is there any inherent differences between the 360 and PS3 versions?

    I picked it up. It's cool that it has 99 achievements like the Orange Box had back in the day. Never got around to playing DMC3 so I am looking forward to that too.

    @birdflu777: yes, it dumbs down the formula,makes it easier. Not in a good way. The attacks(both yours and enemies) are more varied but the incintive to pay attention to them is reduced. Its mashy in a dynasty warrior way.
