These are some of the better Capcom games to come out in the last few years and, for this price point, it's hard to beat a deal like this! While I had already purchased Dead Rising when it was released, the other two titles sort of passed me up. Once I saw this pack however, I couldn't pass it up. I gave Dead Rising to a friend of mine and have had a blast with the other two titles (Devil May Cry 4 and Lost Planet). I was extremely pleased with this Triple Pack and hope other companies provide something similar to this in the future for Platinum Hit games like Capcom has!
Looking to increase your Xbox 360 collection but are on a budget? That's where this Capcom triple pack comes into play. It includes the three biggest releases Capcom had during the early life of the Xbox 360. Dead Rising, Lost Planet, and Devil May Cry 4 are three of the best games Capcom has released on the console, and getting the three of them packaged together for this price is amazing. Dead Rising is the critically acclaimed "free world" action game that places you inside a shopping center fighting for your life. Lost Planet is a great shooter to add to your collection, and Devil May Cry 4 is one of the most fast paced, action packed games since Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma. The three games come packaged in a joint bundle, however each game is still individually wrapped in a separate game case in case you want to separate and organize the three games separately. These three games are all excellent and contain hours of gameplay that is sure to keep you entertained for weeks, if not months. Trying to receive all of the achievements in each of these three games will surely keep even the most hardcore gamer satisfied. At this low of a price you're better off buying this bundle than purchasing the three games separately. This is an excellent collection that every Xbox 360 owner should add to their library.
As the title says this is a bargain for $40, especially if you do not own or have never played any of these games. I had rented both Devil May Cry 4(Loved it, personally one of my favorite campaigns on the Xbox360), and Dead Rising (Only had it for a few days, I liked the few hours of gameplay I got in), and with a chance to purchase both of these games, along with Lost Planet, all brand new, for only $40... Too good to believe.
The triple pack comes with 3 seperate cases for each game, all seperatly wrapped in the NEW platinum hits cases. It came in a nice little cardboard box to stick the 3 games in, perfect for anyone looking to spice up their collection with something different. All three games are "long and difficult" games. DMC4 for example is considered one of the hardest games on the 360 to get all 1000G's for in achievements. This is perfect for someone just starting their collection of games.
Three games for just over 12 bucks each is a great deal.
Each game comes in its own case and all three cases are inside a box with artwork for all three.
Each game is the platinum hits version in the grey boxes.
They are not retail however as where the bar code usually is on each box it says "Not for resale" instead. Thats the only clue that these came in a combo pack.
I have yet to play any of the games but when I do I will review each one fully on their own game page. I might edit those reviews into this one if it seems necessary but if you looking for a review for each game its probably best to view the page for each game itself because you will get more info that way.
I did however rent Lost Planet ages ago and remember enjoying it and not having time to finish it before returning the game. As for Dead Rising and Devil May Cry I have only ever played the demo's and I enjoyed both of those as well.
Again, this is a great package of games for the price they are at. You will pay much more than this if you bought each one individually.
This is a box set of 3 platinum hit games for xbox 360
Dead Rising: I love open world games and zombies, so I thought this might be a home run; unfortunately it almost seems like the developers go out of their way to keep you from having fun. Expect your game-play to be interrupted constantly by annoying pop-ups, and loading points. Saving your game can only be done from certain checkpoint locations. You can pick up almost anything in the world to use as a weapon...for about 10-30 seconds, then it breaks. Great idea, poor execution.
Lost Planet: Average shooter. Interesting game play mechanics and story, but the game became too monotonous and boring to finish. Saving your game can only be done from certain checkpoint locations.
Devil May Cry 4: It's a good addition to the DMC series. Language barriers aside, this is the jewel of the 3 pack. Fun to play, great graphics, and an average story line. Saving your game can only be done from certain checkpoint locations.
For $37 that I paid no complaints from me!
Awesome price for 3 great games. If you happen to be like me and don't own any of these titles take advantage of this offer and you will be happy with your decision!
Gamespot rated these games at:
Dead Rising 8.4 rating, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition 8.1, Devil May Cry 4 8.0
So as you see not bad at all. Of course we all have our own taste in games and not always do I agree with Gamepot ratings either....
But in my opinion these games are worth the price.
Happy Gaming!
