    Although it's a huge letdown when compared to the timeless original, Devil May Cry 2 is still a solid and enjoyable 3D action game.

    Devil May Cry 2 is a strange side note in the franchise that comes off as a failed experiment more than anything else. Aside from the Bloody Palace mode, most of the changes introduced were rolled back in the next game, and the series is better for it. While I didn’t hate my time with Devil May Cry 2, it pales in comparison to the rest of the franchise. If you’re looking to get into Devil May Cry, no one will stop you from skipping right over this one.

    Overall, Devil May Cry 2 is not a terrible game. Coming off the heels of the original and the Bayonetta games, however, there is virtually no reason to play this game unless you’re truly curious. I enjoyed the four-hour adventure as a good distraction, but the glaring problems, such as the camera and story, left a bad taste in my mouth. There are certainly worse games to play, but if you’re itching for a new game in the genre to play, you may want to look elsewhere.

    Bad, really really bad game. Don't play this game, it's a disgrace to the series. Even the lame dmc reboot game was better

    I would say this is the weakest Devil may Cry game, but it's still a lot of fun. The story is okay, but nothing over the top.
    The gameplay    I would say this is the weakest Devil may Cry game, but it's still a lot of fun. The story is okay, but nothing over the top.
    The gameplay changed a little, but in a good way and you get to play one more character (which cuts the game time with the Main character in half)
    Overall I had the feeling it's a little shorter than the previous game, even though you have 2 CDs and 2 Characters to play.

    Short:
    Gameplay is great
    Story is short and not that relevant for the Series
    2 Playable characters with different missions, taking place at the same time    … Full Review »
