This is an absolute must play for any and all DMC fans, especially those of us who grew up with the franchise. These games bring back a lot of fond memories of staying up late with friends from HS trying to beat that next level... the old times before online competitive play, when single player games still ruled, and you would switch turns between deaths.
On top of that, we have the return of the classic stories, and with the addition of DMC4, we now have the complete saga of Dante on one system. A chronology as confusing as can be, lol. To play these to full effect, I recommend playing them in order... not of release, but as they take place... but the requires you grab DMC4, as well. The order is as follows:
DMC3 > DMC > DMC4 > DMC2
This is, of course, becasue DMC3 is a prequel, and DMC2 is the final confrontation with the Devil (which is still one of my favorite boss fights of all time).
At any rate, I can't say enough good about these games, and this new HD transfer is just wonderful. My only complaint about it would be that they did not (could not?) render the actual FMV sequences in HD, and thus the games go in and out from full widescreen storytelling in HD to boxed 4:3 FMVs in SD... but such is only a minor inconvenience.
This is absolutely recommended to any and all DMC fans. Its sure to hold us off, at least until the reboot comes out later this year. Happy gunning!
