Devil May Cry 5th Anniversary Collection (PlayStation 2, 2006)

Three games, one pack, hours of fun! All the Devil May Cry games (except Devil May Cry 4 and any future DMC games), are pushed into a small bundle of joy that any fan or newbie will love! The games are Devil May Cry, Devil May Cry 2, and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition.

Devil May Cry:
This game is short of brilliance and is one of the best Playstation 2 action games around. Many people replace "great game" with "Hack and Slash" or "Repetitive". I would like to kindly say that this game isn't in any way boring (unless you get stuck on a puzzle). You can upgrade you guns/swords with the souls you collect from the monsters you slay. Or you can increase your abilities and moves (like jumping higher, running faster or dodging attacks better). Over all, this game was a revelation in the gaming industry, and is still fun years after it was made.

Devil May Cry 2:
With a great starting game, you may think that number two is better or just as good as the first, but it was sort of a let down. This game has every thing like the first, but slightly changed, and for the worse. When you upgrade you weapons, you don't choose what part to increase, it only increases the amount of damage it gives out, (rather then cool moves or combos). It also plays like the orignal, but the monsters all blend together and look too much alike, and the backgrounds in the castles, dungeons and caves are very repetitive. You can play the whole game as a different character on disk two, but everything is the same. EVERYTHING! The Devil DID cry when he played this game...

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition :
This one REALLY makes up for the second, and in my opinion is better the the first. This game is a prequel to the first, and reveals who Virgil really was, along with other things like, well, I'll let you find out! This game is just oozing with greatness that it got from the first game. The only problem that I've heard about is that this game is "too hard" for some gamers. However, that was not the case for me. Similar to number two, once you have beaten it, you can play the whole game as Virgil. It's very simular to playing as Dante, but not exactly the same, (you see some cut scenes that you didn't see when playing as Dante, and in a certain boss battle, you have to kill someone else other then yourself). And if you have played and beaten "Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awaking" and have the save data, you can play as Virgil from the start of the special edition.

This triple pack really kicks demon butt, ALOT! Even if the second game wasn't great!
