Out of all honesty i had all three games (1,2,3) on my TV stand - meaning it was on it's way to Gamestop for trade in. After consideration all 3 games have gone back into my game collection.
Jak 2 which i've bought for $9 IS going, i just didn't like it. I do have my sly cooper (1,2,3)

I love anything that Hideki Kamiya touches. I'm pretty psyched for Bayonetta since the other Devil May Cry games lost something after he departed.
Although Devil May Cry 3 is definitely the best of the sequels. If you take an approach to it that you have to grind for the first few hours to power up your character you can eventually get through the insane difficulty. The moves and combos can feel so cool and stylish when you pull off long strings, and the campy cinemas are a riot. Totally recommend it since you love the first one.
I'd stay away from part four though. It's so repetitive. I swear to god, you have to fight some bosses three or four times. It's like they made half a game and then tried to stretch it our forever. It might have been cool if they released the first chunk as a downloadable game so they didn't spread themselves too thin. DMC 3 has a lot more content for a lot less money.

I rememeber this game being on the demo I got with my PS2, over five years ago, loved every minute of it.
The opening intro with the bike is fantastic, and the game just gets better as it progresses. I owned this game like five times, I kept trading it in for newer games, but kept coming back to it.
Nice read. :)

The first Devil May Cry was all kinds of awesome. This brings back some great memories of popping that disc into the console not knowing what to expect.
Oh and the fourth game? I thought it was pretty good up to taking control of Dante, then it dropped several points because you just retread through all the levels and same bosses. LAME. Honestly, I could play the first half over and over and Nero's Devil Arm is great, but past that point they absolutely murdered it.

I love this game. I only ever played through it completely once, but it was so awesome I was scared to do it again. Like Portal, I guess. I don't want to play that one again and dilute the experience.
I never cared for DMC. The shooting is so weak that it's pointless, which leave only the sword, and by then it's just a button masher. A single-button masher.
This is based on 3 and the demo of 4.

There was something about DMC. It felt like everything a 3D Castlevania should have been. Tight, horror-ish, just linear enough and actiony enough to feel old school in a 3D new school sort of way.
Oddly enough, not one of my favorite games ever, because of the insanely great software library on the PS2. But it was an awesome experience.

I've tried DMC at a friend's place, but never got the chance to play it thoroughly. It was just one of those games that I missed at the time. I've had my eye on that DMC 1-3 box set though...
I bought the box set a couple years ago and fell in love with it. Everything just seemed so perfect. The gameplay was tight as hell and the B-movie aura the game embodied had me in it's clutches. Even though it was difficult i never felt like I died cheaply. Every time I knew why I died and how to get past that. 3 was my asbolute favorite though. The weapons were taken a step further and the cutscenes are bar none my favorites in any game.
I love, LOVE DMC 3 so much its unhealthy.
The trick to DMC 3 is to master Trickster style (plenty of evasion options) and then move onto Royal Guard. Royal Guard (SF3 style parry system) is so damn powerful its almost broken.
Anyway, on YouTube there are videos of a DMC Truestyle tournament. Look for Brea's entries; she is a Japanese female player that I believe is the best in the world at DMC using any style. Her video editing is hella tight too.

^^^ Everything casual said.
Without a doubt, you should play DMC3. It has the atmosphere of the first, but adds the best combat engine of ant game in the genre.
The box set is a steal if only for DMC3:SE.

Having played the first three in the series, I remain steadfast in my assertion that the first one is the best. The cheesy dialogue, flashy action, and ridiculous bosses made that game awesome beyond belief.
The third one was enjoyable, but it was still a bit "ehh" for me. Maybe it was the game kicking my ass, therefore forcing me to grind, that got me.
As for the second one ... oh boy.
In reality, DMC2 is not THAT bad. The problem is that it felt soulless. There was no personality nor charisma to it. All the charm was sucked right out of the original. Dante's cockiness and cool factor helped elevate the game, and it was crucial to enjoying it.
To make this worse the environments were horribly drab, the enemies were retarded ('infected' tanks and helicopters?), and the main villain can go die in a river of lame.
DMC2 is such a complete letdown when coming off of the heels of DMC1.

I enjoy this series more than I have ever enjoyed God of War's titles. That might be blasphemy to some, but I always felt that Devil May Cry had more substance to it, and it was just really freaking cool. Also, the first one had one of the nastiest enemies in any game, the SHADOWS! Those black cats that would shoot spikes out at you were really nasty!
