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.
If you haven't experienced the trilogy yet, now is the time!

Originally I didn't care too much for the games at first (before this collection came out), but I played it again and I loved the games and well, I literally beat the first one in 6 hours on the day I got this collection, I beat the Lucia disc on the day after and the Dante disc the following day and a day or two later, beat the final one. I know that there are some that didn't like the second DMC but their wrong. Sure, it has a different plot and a little bit different gameplay but it's good.
Does it get any better than this?

Back in early 2002, I bought a PS2 just so I could play DMC...now to get all three games in one package, this is awesome! This is the ultimate disc for any die-hard Devil May Cry fan!
great collection for a fan

the third installment in the series went back to the roots and brought Dante back to his glory as one of the most iconic character in the history of video games.
The second installment wasn't as great, but I enjoyed it as well, it was fun to revisit the original and its sequels were a blast and I truly enjoyed them.
A great "'Devil May Cry" box set by Capcom for the PS2!!!

The first time I played Devil may cry, I would probably have described the gameplay as orgasmic. Looking back I realized that once you get past the bells and whistles you have an entertaining, solid game, but it's not one of the best games of history (unlike Metal Gear Solid). That aside this product is a great deal. I paid 30 dollars for the bundle of three games. I never owned a Dmc game before this and it was fun beating them consecutively. I can't really point out a major flaw of these games but it has a number of little details that prevent me from giving a 5 star rating. So I would recommend this bundle if you never owned a Dmc game, but if you were already a huge fan, then you probably had the games to begin with. In that case theres no point in rebuying them because this bundle doesn't have any interesting extras to speak of.

I'm an avid player of RPG's, but I wanted to try other types of games to see if I liked them, so I figured I would try the Devil May Cry series because they seemed to be pretty popular. I was just going to buy the first game and see if I liked what the series had to offer, but then I saw this aniversary collection with all three games included. I figured that if I liked the first game ,then I could pop in the second and third game in right after I finished with the first. So I was like, what the heck, I'll just buy it! And so I did ,and.....the first game is good. I was personally wanting some more story to go with the game,but that was just because I'm so used to RPGs. The first game has good graphics and gameplay for when it was made(2001 I think). And then came the second game. And OH MY GOSH was that an aweful game. The game play was fine but the story was well, there wasn't really much of a story, and if you could find and understand a good story without flipping back and forth between disks then kudos to you. I didn't even finish playing the game and I have been known to sit through some pretty aweful games. The third game however, made up for all that the second lacked. I think that this game is really good,there was even quite a bit of story involved. The funny thing about the game though , is that there is an unlockable easy mode for people who suck at the game and die too many times starting out,and well, I unlocked that, but anyways I'm thinking about buying DMC 4.
Overall:
If you're looking to buy this, you might want to consider Just buying 1 & 3 seperatly and just skipping #2 because honestly, you wouldn't be skipping anything.
My friend loved it!

I originally bought this game collection for my friend. He let me try it out before I gave it to him, but I couldn't get through the first game. I found it way too hard, but my friend loves it to death. I personally would recommend God of War over this game, but my friend swears on it. I do admit, for the right gamer, the challenge this game collection poses could be it's biggest asset, but for someone who's more into games that are more laid back I wouldn't recommend it. Believe me, these games are ridiculously hard and can lead to frustration for someone who's gotten more use to the ease of the games of today. I would give it a 1, but my friend would say 5, so I'll average this review to 3 stars.
