It's a great game. Takes a little while to understand the controls and what not. This is also the final game in the series as a finisher. DMC 5 may hold something different.

Only reason worth playing

Devil may cry 2 is a bad game. The only reason you should play it is if your a hardcore Devil May Cry fan. You'll lose interest in it otherwise.

Three was way better in my book, but again it is part of the series and I love the series.

This game is just as good as the original. The fact that there isn't much of a storyline means we FINALLY have a video game we can actually play and not have to stop and listen to a bunch of storyline nonsense. To me, that's a good thing.

The only bad thing about the game are the occasional annoying camera angles. Sometimes you can't see what's happening and that can be a distraction. Sometimes the graphics are dark, which again, makes it hard to see what's in front of you. Doesn't happen often, though. Pick this game up.

Very Dissapointed

Not even close to the original Devil May Cry, this one really lacks story. After you beat the game (which took me 3 days, not even playing it alot during that time) you'll be thinking "that's it"? The camera angels pretty much suck, that seems to be one of the main problems with all of the DMC games though. I should've waited till this dropped to $20 but I liked the first one so much I figured it would be worth the $50 but it wasn't. This is definately a prime example of a game not worth the hype.

Not THAT bad, but bad! for Capcom...

Ok. It does seem like this game was thrown out in a hurry. I liked the wider area's because it let you do the stunts that are allowed in this game. (Wall walking and etc.) The guns, like in any dmc game, do nooooothing to the bosses. (unless you use the rocket launcher over and over) The melee fighting gets repetative... and the lack of story was horrible... Ok so some guy wants demon powers and bla bla. I looooved the city stages and the last levels. The ending makes you want more!! to the story as well... Part 3 totally! made up for all this, but I'm still waiting for part 4! 'cause of this game's ending... Not to mention Dante's personality is... well, Lacking! Although I like this look more than part 1's.

Overall, it does not! live up to the first dmc. Orbs are soooo hard to get and like usual, items are expensive. Don't expect much, but enjoy it as much as you can. There's at least a little something you can get out of it. :P

Excellent Game

Ok, for those who said they beat the game in 5 hours.. What level was your weapon at.. 2? lol, did you even bother upgrading them to 4-5? that would take much more than 5 hours, because youd have to collect much more orbs. Also try the game in "must die mode" Don't just play it in easy mod and claim "OHH THIS GAME IS EASY I BEAT IT IN 5 HOURS". Also some people said this game is all about jumping and shooting, Are you a f***ing Newb? You can melee the enemies too, oh and the walking on the wall sin't useless.. it's more "stylish" I didin't just press triangle randomly , i learned the combos.. here's anotehr part of the game you should try.. The only things i didin't like about this game is the lack of monsters and the lack of diffrent monsters.. also the underwater levels, wtf is that, that's juste lame but.. oh well. the 2 cd / 2 chars thing is fun, the story.. the only thing i understood is that you have to kill demons.

It's a great game buy it, don't be a newb and play it easy mod without upgrading your weapon to 3-4 and without learning the combos!

WHAT A BLOW....

First, TEHERE IS NO STORY-LINE WHATSOEVER.
Second, it's camera work often makes you frustrated so that you can stick you Dual-shock controller up into the ceiling.
Third, the battle action is so dull, slow-paced, and reapeated until you get sick of it. (By all means, do not expect some cool, stylish sword actions from the first game.)

Need I say more?
...Nope. I think I made my point.

SUGGESTIONS: *DO NOT* BUY THIS GAME JUST YET. RENT IT FIRST. YOU WILL THANK ME DEARLY :)

What happend Capcom!!?

Devil May Cry was a classic with great gameplay and had lots of style...This...doesn't! I will make this a short review...
The game had good visuals like the original but was lacking on good story and was waaaaaaay too short and too easy. Devil May Cry was easy to learn and was a bit of a challenge but this was just complete bull..

Too easy and waaaaay too short. This is nothing like Devil May Cry 1.

Overall I have to give this..

2.2 out of 5 stars

Game is lacking in a lot of places and is just painfully bad. No were near the original Devil May Cry..This game has lots and lots of flaws..Just wait for Devil May Cry 2 comes out cause hopefully it will be waaaaay better then this (...)..

Let's be honest. Judging by the trailers and magazine ads, the sequel to the PlayStation 2 smash hit, Devil May Cry, it looked very cool. And it was the day I got it and the strategy guide. Wall flipping and multi-directional shooting was very fun and easy to pull off. Unfortunately, it wore off soon enough and after a few months( and beating the superior first one on both difficulties ), I realized how shallow and disappointing DMC2 was. Ignoring the confusing and laughable storyline, even the gameplay is watered down. The game plays likes it on the Easy Automatic difficulty of the first. And don't be fooled by the other difficulties. The only real challenge lies in the Dante Must Die or Lucia Must Die, and even so, it's nowhere near as challenging as the first. You get 3 different swords, but your first one serves a better purpose than the other 2, despite what the guide says. And they lack any kind of personality and level of coolness like Ifrit or Alastor. Guns consist of your trademark pistols, shotgun, sub-machine guns( which is, in my opinion, the worst set of weapons to have on here ) and a rocket launcher. Now, due to the open levels, which are pretty dull most of them, you'll practically be using your guns a majority of the time instead of the swords, and that sucks. The 2nd disc is the other character's story, Lucia, who is almost like Dante, but a little better, a little worse in some aspects. She doesn't have any guns, save for the bowgun. She carries swords, sticky bombs and throwing daggers. The best thing about her is you actually have to use her melee combat moves over her projectile weapons, unlike Dante, which is the opposite. Like I said earlier, wall running and jumping is cool, but it serves NO purpose whatsoever. It just there for decoration. Voice-acting is even worse than the first with Dante spewing out the most generic one-liners I've ever heard. Now, for all the horrible things I've said about this bland sequel, there are a few redeeming qualites. One is the graphics are quite good and the CG is great. There is a ton to unlock like secret characters and an endless dungeon. And both Lucia and Dante aren't all that bad to play as. Hopefully, they'll get it right in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, which looks infinitely better that this, and reclaim the fun and cool factor of the first. I give a terrible 2 out of 5. Tis a sad day indeed. This is Sean David, signing off.

Until then,
Semper Fi, Carry on.
