    Worst game in the series by a mile stretch and anyone who rated this high or even average is nuts. it's in all ways a down grade from the 1st game, too easy as dante can spam kill everything including bosses with his guns, boring bland lv design, terribly designed enemies like infected tanks and infected helicopters, dante acts nothing like himself as he's a very silent protagonist nowWorst game in the series by a mile stretch and anyone who rated this high or even average is nuts. it's in all ways a down grade from the 1st game, too easy as dante can spam kill everything including bosses with his guns, boring bland lv design, terribly designed enemies like infected tanks and infected helicopters, dante acts nothing like himself as he's a very silent protagonist now with no smart mouth trash talking, dante can only use swords, dante can only upgrade atk power, the characters and story are lame and unimportant to the series, the attacks look pathetic like the stinger and it has the least missions in the series at 18.

    Em todos os jogos,um dos pontos mais positivos eram os chefes,nesse não(é claro que um ou outro se salvam),chefes fáceis de ser derrotados até na dificuldade que era pra ser difícil (Dante Must Die),aliás nem chega a ser realmente difícil,no máximo você morre uma vez aqui,outra ali,mas no fim nada demais.
    O chefe principal...ah,a melhor definição dele que eu já vi,era que ele parecia um ator pornô dos anos 80.
    Dante ficou sério,isso eu acho até aceitável,pois ele já tem uma certa idade,e "amadureceu"
    No geral esse jogo é muito fraco,em vez de ir pra frente,evoluindo as coisas do primeiro jogo,ele foi MUITO pra trás.

    If Devil May Cry 1 was unrelenting pulse pounding action, DMC2 is cardiac arrest.

    The game is weird and the reason I quit this game is not the first game, the gameplay is not the atmosphere pattern, the game has a very pale atmosphere, the game is so faint and easy how the game is officially it is an 11-year-old, the two characters are the same as more I really don't want to talk, the game is a disgrace to my word if I have to express it with my single bald

    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.

    Only soundtrack is not bad. Everything else - complete disappointment. Better to name current DMC 3 the second game in the series and delete this mistake from the videogames history.

    Review só pra lembrar a nota que dei pro jogo:
    Esse jogo não existe, ele não faz parte da série DMC é apenas um delírio coletivo.
    P.S: 2/10 apenas pela decepção, se não é um 3/10.

    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

Não é mais satisfatório combar inimigos. Inclusive, os combos do primeiro jogo foram retirados, o que tira o teor competitivo de potreações e a identidade do personagem. Os movimentos soam pesados e a responsividade é ruim. Facilitaram alguns movimentos, e a pistola está tão forte que pode ser usada como uma arma primaria. A trilha sonora não é ruim, mas a do primeiro jogo é bem mais marcante. A historia não me pegou, e o dante mais velho é simplesmente entediante. Toda a carisma que apaixonava os fans foi embora. A câmera fixa ainda é um problema e não foi lá aprimorada. Alguns bosses são chatissimos de se lutar. Eles não são difíceis, só non-sense. Parei de jogar o jogo quando percebi que estava apertando o "x" do meu controle em sequencia a quase 30 minutos para derrotar uma onda de tanques e helicópteros possuídos. É triste que essa ideia tenha parecido legal na cabeça do desenvolvedor. Não foi.    … 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

    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.

    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

    In sharp contrast to Devil May Cry, the sequel dumbs down the difficulty an extreme amount. It caters to everyone who whined that the first was too hard, the game play it watered down, it ruins Dante's lovable cocky, confident, and competent personality, and the characters and storyline are absolutely unengaging.

    This game was an utter waste of my money and time. The graphics may have been good, but that's it. He is waaaaay too serious in the whole thing and the story moves waaaay too fast. There is nothing good at all about this game and i suggest not even renting it. There is nothing amusing or amazing about this game at all.

It's easy enough and the guns are so powerful that the gameplay itself is under-stimulating and almost always boils down to mashing the shoot button. At the same time, however, the pacing leads to a game that throws a barrage of stuff at you every 2 minutes without any rhyme or reason, making it somehow overstimulating at the same time. Even the story is confusing. Most of it is only told to you in the second campaign, yet it's all still relevant during the first, meaning you spend the first campaign confused about what's even going on. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if this game is unplayable, but i still consider it a failure on every single aspect possible.… Expand

    I think it goes without saying at this point, but **** this game. 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.

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

    It's just disappointing to see such an uninspired sequel that simply goes through the motions of being an action game rather than taking advantage of concepts introduced in its predecessor.
