In the interest of time and space this review will be about this specific version and not the game itself, as there are already reviews for that. Really, the only question here is: are the $20 extra worth it? Cosmetics aside (which alone are worth it for the collector), you're getting 2 extra discs, one with 4 episodes of the animated series -- which are mandatory by the way, but mileage varies greatly apparently -- along with some extras, and a second disc with an art gallery, soundtrack, making of DMC, etc.

So my reasoning goes like this: The anime can be purchased separately for 30 dollars, or you can get it here for 20 dollars along with a bunch of bonus content. This is a game that you'll revisit down the line, and you'll be glad you bought the limited edition in time. And even if you do plan to sell it someday, it will be worth more than the regular version and you'll still have gotten a deal on all the extras, especially the anime.

well you can see reviews for this game on this site so ill just talk about the special features. first of all the game case is in a plastic sleeve which stops the metal case from being scratched and it holds the anime disk. when i removed the case from the sleeve i was expecting some artwork but nothing like this. its a beautiful holographic case showing nero holding up his "devil bringer" and on the back is dante holding his pistol "ebony". aside from the very attractive case, the two bonus disks are fantastic. the anime dvd is very action oriented and can be viewed in japanese with subtitals or in english. also the dvd has an interview with the voice acter for dante and some game promos. the "bonus" dvd is meant for the computer and is a very nice treat for any dmc fan. it has an art gallery showing some origional artist scetches of the dmc 4 charecters, the game soundtrack ( very good quality( i put them on my ipod)), and lots of desktop backgrounds and screen savers. overall i would say that the extra 30 bucks is sooooooooooo worth it for this masterpiece.

Over hyped edition

First i am huge fan of the series, so naturally when the CE edition was offered i did not hesitate to buy it, the case of game is great i loved it but the bonus DVD,my oh my i was really disappointed with it the soundtrack, only five tracks? the game had alot of music tracks and they offered the CE at a premium price for only five tracks. and the interview it feels like youtube video slapped with some text question with director or producer they show you some of the cut scenes how they did it but really i expectd more from it.
as for the game I was greatly disappointed with it they tell guest star appearance of lady and Trish, they should have said 15 seconds of lady because its that short and you play with nero most of the game which is fine then you play with dante for some levels which is great, but you cant chose dante in all of the level which was weird. the controls are easy and the graphics were great but the game does not have much replay value as the older versions i wish they offered more for me to play on a more difficulty levels to unlock costumes are not enough for replay value. as a DMC fan i expected more from this one, and as for the CE unless you want the metal case and the it' not worth it if want the anime just buy the box set. I regret buying the CE it does not feel like a CE should,the normal version would have been enough, as for the game a good fast paced solid action but with out much replay value unless you are fan of the series just rent it.

definately worth the money if you're a fan!

Like the previous post, i won't focus much on the game itself in my review other to say that i disagree with some publications writing this game off as a "last-gen gameplay experience with pretty graphics". I disagree in that i think that they perfected the gameplay, made great improvements overall and gave us a very interesting story. Also this game has a 4 at the end for a reason. Games are more comparable to movies nowadays and it would be a great idea to play the first 3 before jumping into this.

Now for the meat and potatoes; This collectors edition is a must buy for DMC fans. The packaging is visually appealing with some neat artistic effects. The slip sleeve is transparent has the text for devil may cry 4 and the blue light behind it as its front image, and as you slide it off to reveal the metal case you'll find that the image of nero is part of a larger picture embedded into the metal case that is obscured by the transparent sleeve. Even better is that the reverse side of the metal case has a similarly positioned Dante so that you can essentially give the game the cover of your preference when its slip-sleeve is on. :-D There is a seperate gatefold DvD case for the DMC anime series inside the slip-sleeve and although i found that it was a bit of a tight fit, i didn't feel cheapened by its position in the packaging.
The Metal Case is definately tough, and stays shut very securely, but worry not, it is easy to open. Inside you have an art booklet/instruction manual and the bonus dvd that you can watch on your dvd player or computer. The enhanced PC features include the soundtrack and screensavers. The soundtrack only includes 5 songs, but they are very high quality mp3s, it even has its own application that you can fire up and listen to the tracks with.

While i haven't beaten the game yet, i am very satisfied with this collectors edition's contents and its packaging. I highly recommend this one for Devil May Cry 4 fans. New gamers to the series might find all the added features a bit superflous, and critics of the american dub of the anime series may find argument in its inclusion. However i was already a fan of the voice talents as most of the cast is part of the american dub of Super Milk Chan ( a show i'm quite fond of ). This might be enough to make a few DMC fans sit out this special edition.

Bottom line: highly recommended and a great treat for longtime fans.

Best DMC ever!

The game is so much better than the previus DMC games, without losing the true soul of it.

The story is exciting and interesting with a touch of reality between the fantasy.

The boss fights are great and the new character brings some sort of God Of War style to it in order to improve the Saga.

Great game for the fans and for the new players!

Devil May Cry has always been good and so has Capcom for that matter. DMC 4 is just as insane if not more. It's so much fun, and it's hard to put down. Pretty cool story too. Collector's Edition comes with part of the Anime and it's pretty good too. Definitely worth the money.

Great game!!!

I've waited for this game soo much and didn't want to go for less than the Collector's Edition. It's worth every penny.

The game is awesome in every aspect. The more you play it, the more addicted you become to it. A 5-Star non-stop action video game for the most powerful system, the PS3.

Truely a must-have game :)

Too much money for too little material

While there is no stopping dedicated fans from getting the DMC4 Collector's Edition, it is not the best limited edition box I've purchased and I don't recommend buying this one. All you really get is five music tracks and four anime episodes. Yeah it is a nice box but I think Capcom could have done a lot better.
Behind the scenes/making of DMC4? Nope.
Extra in-game content? Nope.
Kind of a ripoff? Yeah pretty much. Unless you're totally a diehard fan with lots of money, just get the standard edition.
