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.ca 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.

Disappointing (2006-03-12)

Anyone who played Devil May Cry 1 would certainly be in the line up for the new release of it's sequel. DMC 2 maintained its solid graphics and Dante looked as good as ever, however, this game fell short of the mark for me and instead of it outpacing DMC 1, I felt it took two steps backwards. DMC 2 continues to be an ambitious game, but as far as tastes go, I was disappointed!

Excellent Game (2005-01-27)

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!

just not the same (2004-07-09)

When the first devil may cry was released, the public was blown away. Dante was cool in everyway, he had bad ass moves, even more bad ass weapons, and just new how to give the baddies a hard time. Devil May Cry 2 was looking to be the breakaway hit that surpassed the first in everyway. However, it almost falls short in evry single aspect form the forst game.

There only two points that have improved in Devil May Cry 2. the first being the controls of the game, they still say much the same, very fluid and easy to adapt to. I also found it a nice change to have a second playable character. The problem with this character is that her moves are almost exactly the same as Dante's she just moves a bit faster.

As for the storyline,...well there really is no storyline. The first Devil May Cry was great because not only did you get to obliterate hoards and hoards of baddies, but it was all packed to gether with an excellent storyline. Once you finish this game, you feel like you actually know less about who Dante actually is, because the storyline is EXTREMELY confusing.

Another adition, which could have come off as either a good or bad thing, is that the level size is MUCH bigger. Unfortunately in this game, it is a very bad thing, since you spend most of your time brainless tapping the button that fires your guns. As a matter of fact, when you get to the flying bat on the roof top, the only way to hit it is to continously mash the fire button, and since the game has auto aim, there is no strategy! The whole point of having both a sword AND guns is so that you can use them both, and in this game you will find yourself using your guns MUCH more than your sword. This also makes leveling up your sword with red souls pointless, since most of the time your not using it!

I'm not saying this game is completely empty of any entertainment, there are shining moments when you find yourself creating huge combos, and yes you still feel like a bad ass, SOMETIMES. If your looking at this game because the first blew you away, you may just want to rent it, because the game is EXTREMELY easy, and you will probably beat it within five hours of picking it up. If you haven't played the first one and your thinking of buying the second. DON'T! Buy the first one, rent the second, believe me its not worth your money to buy!

A Big Bore!!! (2004-07-06)

I got this game thinking I would have a great time playing, but was soon disappointed... the weapons are cool, the graphics are okay, but all the elements of the game just don't seem to come together...Don't buy this game!

A Decent Sequel (2004-06-23)

While I praise Devil May Cry, its sequel, while still a good game, has some issues. First off, kick ass Dante who I so praise in my above review is seemingly gone. His character says all of five sentences during the entire course of the game, and bases all his decisions on the flip of a coin. Didn't Two-Face from Batman do that? Anyway there's a second disc with another playable character, the oddly shapen Lucia. Lucis has her own story, her own moves, and her own weapons. The problem here is, we really don't care because we don't understand her story. In the original DMC, we understood what Dante was searching for, the purpose of his quest, and we enjoyed everything he encountered along the way. In DMC2, we don't understand why Dante is even on this mission, or why he is interacting with Lucia. Did the creators suddenly forget about Trish from the original? I think it would have made more sense to place her in Lucia's role. All in all, it is unfair to compare DMC2 to it's predecessor, but that is what nearly every reviewer will do. It is still a fun game, with new monsters, new weapons and new moves, but it is a far cry from the original.
