Devil May Cry 2 beings you back into the dark and violent world of Dante, the half-human demon hunter!
Amazon.com Review
Devil May Cry 2 brings us back to Dante's world, and this time his fellow demon-fighter friend, Lucia, has her own disc. OK, she sounds a bit like Celine Dion, and her plot's a little silly, but she has her own disc with a reasonable 13 missions. She's refreshingly clothed for a female character, and like Dante, she can transform using "devil trigger"--the equivalent of rampage mode in other games. Dante's disc holds 18 missions, with a few redundant maps between the two characters. Visually stunning, Devil May Cry 2 offers minute details that envelop the player. For example, when walking on the roof in a little Italian villa, you can hear the distinct sound of tiles under your feet. As with the original Devil May Cry, this is not a game for children. It comes with a gore warning, but in this game some of the gothic elements--like the Demonochorus (possessed cherubs) or Infestants (energy-sucking insectlike things)--might disturb even an adult's sleeping pattern. This is one game where it really pays to pick up the strategy guide, and here's why: Players need to complete the mission in as little time as possible. Since lots of great power-ups are found in secret rooms, you would waste a lot of time endlessly inspecting doors without it, and never reach the coveted S status that comes with a fast run through a level. The overall grade is a combination of your rankings in style, collected number of orbs, the number of items you used (the fewer the better), damage, and your overall clear time. This isn't just an attempt to get you to buy more, we promise: you'll get far more orbs, find many more secret chambers, and enjoy the nuances of the game better with the guide. Characters can jump off the walls Matrix-style, shooting from midair. The game allows for limitless ammo and energy. These and many other facets recommend Devil May Cry 2, even if some fans find it less engaging than the original. In our opinion, it's as addictive as other sequels from successful franchises--Final Fantasy comes to mind--and we're hoping for more reincarnations. --Jennifer Buckendorff Pros: - Great, creepy enemies: Blood goats, Noctpteran (with larva), Sargasso
- Cool powers available through amulet stones
- Stellar maps, including inspired underwater fighting
Cons: - Not a good game for inventory freaks
- Goofy "Don't worry" and "Showtime!" announcements detract from atmosphere
- Ultracheesy Diesel product tie-in when you finish
Amazon.com Product Description
Devil May Cry 2, the sequel to the gothic horror classic, features more and bigger environments, including a Gotham-like city and an old European town. There are now two playable characters--allowing you to play as Dante or a brand-new heroine. And Dante is even more stylish and tough than before, having gained plenty of experience fighting demons. The level of animation and visual detail rivals a Hollywood action flick. Devil May Cry 2 will also track a player's skill level and adjust the enemies' difficulty according to how well players perform. And Dante now has more moves and attacks, plus an enhanced Devil Trigger: Once Dante's devil meter is full, he will be able to transform into a demon. This demon form features new visual effects and allows Dante to destroy enemies with one smashing blow.

 Devil May Cry Fan August 2, 2008
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 February 18, 2008
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.

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.
