    The game really want you to use the pistol Swiss is really annoying and not fun that's so many boss fight for you. Just have to shoot and shoot and shoot and f*** that helicopter.

    What have they done to Dante he was at least a little bit interesting and had a smile at some points in the first one, but now he's just a sad sak who doesn't use his mouth anymore.

    The story is a confusing myth that I don't know even make sense and I don't care because none of the characters are like a ball and it just feels like the environments were made and Dante were putting in it. It doesn't feel like a coherent adventure at all.

    I played this game because it was homework because I wanted to experience what a Bad sequel is like and I truly got it. This is God awful. Only played if you are interested in playing a bad game.    … Expand

    PIECE OF **** broken game with a completely broken auto-aiming, pistols and a devil trigger.Clumsy animations, lack of normal combos, casual bosses and broken firearms. Bosses absolutely do not fit into the atmosphere in DMC, tanks grew from pistols, did I go into slasher or World of tanks? From the pluses of the game, beautiful somersault animations and good music. do not recommend to anyone

    Perhaps the worst ever character action game. The combat and game feel is terrible. Almost every enemy in the game has some baffling exploit and blind spots. This deserves it's black sheep status and we are lucky this didn't murder this classic franchise.

Disappointment is the main word to describe Devil May Cry 2, as it falls short of the intricate and decently balanced combat of the original by just allowing the player to shoot everything rather than rack up points with wild combos. The story is just as forgettable as the enemies, with a whole bunch of nothing going on and doesn't build upon the lore of the series. Exploration is somewhat better, but again is just shy of greatness with no need to improve as combat is very narrow minded. Overall, a disappointment on most levels with a blasé performance from the whole team.… Expand

    Devil May Cry 2's Combat System is entirely devoid of the combo variety that made its predecessor enjoyable, with a single fixed moveset for the entirety of the game and a total absence of abilities to unlock and upgrade, leading to a remarkably dull, painfully repetitive combat. Enemies don't help this situation at all, as they almost never pose a real challenge. Their attack patterns are extremely shallow and their AI is severely deficient, as they spend most of the time standing around doing nothing. Furthermore, projectile attacks are ridiculously overpowered, easily staggering most enemies and easily taking down bosses in a few minutes. Speaking of bosses, mostly are terribly designed, with the best ones being only mediocre. Their movesets are characterized by simplistic monotonous attacks and embarassingly easy ways to trap them in a loop. The story, much like the prequel, leaves much to be desired, with characters being incredibly flat and the drama quick and cheap. Even after all of this, there are a couple of nice ideas here, like the story being split into two campaigns each for one of the two main characters, each with their storyline and a different final boss, as well as faint improvements from the first game. Areas are now bigger, allowing for more interesting Level Design, with slightly more exploration to find hidden treasures, but it is still far from interesting. A nice additions are amulets, equipment which can add passive or active abilities, but their potential falls flat as they provide minimal changes and are rarely employed for environmental puzzles.    … Expand

    (completed on PC as a part of Devil May Cry HD Collection).

    The one good thing about this game is that it gave Capcom a clear idea of which direction not to go in. Being a hasty sequel trying to catch up to the success of the first game and having a ruckus in the development cycle, Devil May Cry 2 fails to deliver in pretty much every respect.

    The one good thing about this game is that it gave Capcom a clear idea of which direction not to go in. Being a hasty sequel trying to catch up to the success of the first game and having a ruckus in the development cycle, Devil May Cry 2 fails to deliver in pretty much every respect.

    The visual style is clearly inspired by the original but lacks cohesion and often times looks incredibly bland, cheap, and lifeless, often giving a player a hard time telling the enemies from the environment. This makes terrible mission design, full of needless backtracking, so much more painful. That being said, I think, the idea of exploring the downtown of a major city infested with demons as well as an old ethnic town over a cliff was in a way creative, even if not realized successfully.

    Dante's looks, as well as his demeanor, are changed to some unclear "more serious" vibe, which robs him of any personality. The design of the second protagonist, Lucia, and her writing is really lackluster too, making her one of the most uninteresting focal characters I've seen in a videogame. This contributes heavily to making the plot feel as unessential to the experience, as this installment is to the series.

    By far the worst offender, of course, is simplified in all the wrong ways, disjointed combat, including the all but non-existent enemy AI. It makes the hack and slash gameplay extremely mindless and forgettable, which is probably for the better. The swordplay itself is hard to call completely broken, so you might have occasional fun, but I wouldn't bet on that.

    It's redeeming how short this experience is because it's one of the worst ones I've ever had in gaming. The few places in which someone tried to work hard at this game are lost in the sea of uninspired garbage, and it can safely be recommended to skip this game in one's Devil May Cry journey, as Capcom had the mercy to make its story completely inconsequential.    … Expand

    Being a hardcore DMC fan, this game....has no reason to exist. It adds nothing to the storyline of DMC, the combat is boring, the level design is pretty dull and unimaginative, and the bosses are a joke, one hour playing it and I got so bored that I just quit and never played it again. The only plus to this game is Dante's design.

One that I would find difficult for even the most hardcore fans to defend or even say that it's their favorite. Everything that made the original fun and memorable has been completely stripped away. It's obvious that whoever was originally put in charge of development had absolutely no clue what made the original great, and despite Hideaki Itsuno coming in at the tail end of development in an attempt to make it salvageable, it ultimately didn't save the game and it damn near killed the series.

    The story functions about the same as it did in the original. Dante, along with newcomer Lucia, are tasked with defeating the super bad evil guy and save the world. However, there is one big change added that sets it apart from the original: it's not fun. For as schmaltzy as DMC1 got, there's a level of loveable camp to it that made it so enjoyable. Dante was a bit of a smart ass, cracking jokes at the bosses and just looking like he was having fun with it all. Dante in this game is as flaccid as soggy cardboard. He says so little, and what little he does say is not the least bit memorable. Lucia isn't much better, and the villain Arius? Such a cliché, inconsequential, forgettable villain.

    What's worse than a more boring story? Boring gameplay. Structurally, it's identical to the first game. You go level-to-level, fight enemies and beat the boss. However, gone is the challenge and complexity of DMC1, and what we are left with is an absurdly easy, watered down imitator. The enemies are basic to the point of being brain dead, and boss fights are downright pathetic. These enemies are so boring, that you'd be tempted to just run through entire levels without ever fighting them (unless you are required to). You no longer get higher ranks by performing more stylishly in combat, but rather just keep wailing on the enemies/dodging long enough to raise it, leaving so little incentive to want to very up your moveset (what little there is) beyond just trying to stay awake. Oh, sure, you do have a bit more by the way of acrobatics like wall running and shooting your pistols straight down while in the air, but not once do these new abilities ever get utilized in any meaningful way. Speaking of pistols, those alone are gonna help you win the game. They are incredibly overpowered. I'd say almost every enemy and boss you encounter can be beaten with just your pistols alone. If you wanna get through the game much quicker, upgrade those as early as possible. What about the levels themselves? Bland and overly spacious. The sick gothic architecture and atmosphere of the original is replaced with mostly dirty browns. Many of the levels are also way too dark to properly see in (even worse if you are playing an original PS2 copy on a modern TV), and far too big with little to show for it.

    Is there anything the game does get right? Well, I mean it's at least functional. Nothing is absolutely broken or game-breaking. The game was also the first to introduce the concept of Bloody Palace, which would be refined and more fun in later entries. The music, while not as memorable as the original, still has some really solid tracks and is certainly the best part of the whole game. Otherwise, Devil May Cry 2 is just an absolute bore. You are far better off skipping this one.    … Expand

This is probably one of the worst games I have ever played. I have never seen such a big budget game turn out this poorly. There is literally nothing good about it.

    Every level is unnecessarily large and difficult to navigate, the levels are drab and lack any distinctive features, every level is dark and ugly to look at and every level is insanely boring to play through. Enemy encounters all play out exactly the same and range from so easy I entirely forgot them to so frustrating I wish I could forget them. Devil Trigger is barely useful and often tedious to use, and the amulets which you can equip to change how Devil Trigger works are far and few and are uninteresting. Bosses have absurd amounts of health and are insanely boring to fight. Controls are clunky and unpolished. The sound mixing is some of the worst I've ever heard in a video-game, everything is so obnoxiously loud that every sound effect is constantly clashing with one another and the awful soundtrack only adds to the chaotic noise that your TV speakers are forced to vomit out. All weapons feel exactly the same and offer no distinctive game-play changes. The soundtrack is so forgettable and ineffective at conveying any form of significant emotion that I legitimately could not even slightly recall a single song from the game if I tried. Your character, every enemy, every action-sequence, every cut-scene is slow – this game is so slow, and it never stops being annoying. Guns are incredibly over-powered and basically ruin every single enemy encounter in the game. Saying the story is unfinished would be an understatement, because I don't think a story exists at all - every character is so soulless, awkward and poorly written that it feels like some creepy Twilight Zone **** , events and things just happen for no real reason and every cut-scene is so far and few and disjointed from each other it's hard to keep track of anything that happens at all. The story is completely unrelated to any of the other games as well, it's so unimportant and meaningless that they keep lazily slotting it in different points in the DMC timeline whenever necessary over and over again, I don't know why they even bother acknowledging this games existence. The atmosphere that permeates throughout the whole game is really uncomfortable, eerie and off-putting, and it makes for a really unpleasant experience throughout - the game lacks any personality or charm. If video-games had a body and soul, DMC2 would be a decaying corpse. The closest thing to a positive I can give this game is that the final boss is kind of cool, but that doesn't even matter all that much because you can easily defeat by spamming the same weapon you've been spamming the entire game anyways.

    It’s a miracle this game didn’t completely undermine the series for good.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a huge let down. Despite some aspects of it not aging well, I really liked the first Devil May Cry. Devil May Cry 2 on the other hand takes everything good about the first game and just throws it out the window. The combat is dumbed down. You can't buy any new moves for any of the weapons. All 3 weapons have the exact same moveset, the only difference between them is the damage they deal and their attack range. The guns are absolutely broken. They deal massive damage and none of the enemies have an answer to them. The enemy A.I is braindead. Sometimes the enemies will not even bother trying to attack you and will just stand out in the open like morons allowing you to just shoot them to death. The bossfights are terrible. The mission 5 boss in particular is one of the laziest and most poorly designed bosses I have ever fought in a video game. The enemy and boss designs are very generic and uninspired. Then there's the difficulty. The game is hilariously easy on normal mode. I died maybe 3 or 4 times throughout the full game with 2 of those deaths being to the final boss. The environments and levels are so bland and boring. The atmosphere just isn't there either. This series has never been known for it's story so it doesn't surprise me that it's your typical *Evil corporate guy tries to take over the world* story. Dante is no longer the light hearted, carefree and cocky badass from the first game. Instead he's turned into a silent and boring shadow of his former self. I didn't care about Lucia at all. She's barely in the game. You can play as her in her own campaign but I really wasn't arsed playing through this boring slog of a game again. I also didn't bother replaying this game on the higher difficulties since this games combat never evolves in the slightest. Unlike every other Devil May Cry game, one playthrough is enough to experience everything it has to offer. The reason I'm giving this game a 4 and not anything lower is because despite everything I just mentioned, it's still a functioning game. Just a very boring one at that. I don't understand how anyone can defend this game after playing any of the other Devil May Cry games.… Expand
