THE GOOD:
Gameplay
Graphics
More moves

THE BAD:
WAAAAY TOO EASY
Ilfrit and Alastor are gone
Dante has become a boring old sod
Too short
No replay value
No story

SUMMARY:
I was excited about this game, in fact really excited. After finishing DMC1 for the 5th time i couldn't wait for more hack and slash action. Yet after 10 minutes of placing DMC2 in the PS2 i quickly realized that I've bought a stinker.
That's hard for me to say cos I love the franchise but it's true.

In fairness though DMC2 has better graphics, more moves and 3 playable characters, but it lacks in all other aspects.

Enemies die before they get a chance to attack you because they are so slow and sluggish, background seems bland and lacks the gorgeous back drops a la DMC1 and Dante lost his sense of humour.

All in all though it isn't a terrible game, it has got it's good moments. The building that turns into a boss and the final...

THE GOOD:
more swords...thats it really. Some of the bosses such as the building demon and the last level boss. It did pose a challenge compared to DMC1.

THE BAD:
Its boring and the game feels like a chore. The background is boring and some parts of the game you dreaded to play.

SUMMARY:
very disappointing sequel to the ultimate Devil May Cry game. It needed a little edge to it. The only thing that was worth looking forward to was the last level where it should of started. The ultimate fight with the fire devil himself. The background may have been dark but it was boring. It did try to make an effort though with the building coming to life. What it also didn't have is the actual character of Dante who was a cocky guy which suited, but in DMC2 it had the strong and silent type which was a bad choice as it deprived the game of humor.

THE GOOD:
Good Soundtracks, Good Graphics, Like the fact u can play as 3 characters (Dante, Lucia, Trish), Good new monsters, Amulet equipping, New Devil Trigger Type, New Weapons.

THE BAD:
Lack of storyline, The Alastor Sword and the Ifrit Gauntlets and The Sparda Sword are not on the game, Some enemies too easy to kill, Not enough puzzles, Dante's voice changed, Game too short.

SUMMARY:
I like that they have made the DMC2 game better graphics and i like that they've put new monsters in them, Its good that u can play as Dante, Lucia and Trish, but there really are only a few bosses that are hard to kill. The storyline isnt really as good as DMC1's storyline. It should of been something like the main character is Dante's son and he has to go after Mundus, or something like that. What spoils it is that they dont really have a main boss at the end of the game if you know wot i mean. Its only 'Despair Embodied' well i gotta admit the Despair...

THE GOOD:
New moves
Different enemies, but a few oldies as well

THE BAD:
Far too easy even on the hardest difficulty
Lack of decent storyline
Lucia is a major let-down with only an easier version of Dante's story
What happened to Alastor and Ifrit?

SUMMARY:
Devil May Cry 2 was one of the most anticipated games of 2003. After the major success of Devil May Cry people were expecting Capcom to deliver a game surpassing the first one. The lead designer of this game was different from the first one, and he failed to capture much of what made the first one such a good game. Even Capcom themselves admit that this wasn't the game it could have been. This game takes place years after the first Devil May Cry and Dante is again called upon to destroy evil forces. This time a human by the name of Arius wants to take over the world and has evil powers to help him do it. Dante has help through the form of a female character called...

THE GOOD:
good hmmm lets thinck

well bosses for a start more levels more combo's and enimies can use devil trigger as well as you talking of devil trigger dante's just totaly rocks did i mention that there are 3 charictars you can play as

dante
trish
lucia

also the end boss is the best fight in the game having bad ass combos and bloody good skill

anyway you should definatly by this game (try kicking misra's arsses on bloody palace when you get cranky bomb)so thumbs up

THE BAD:
well it is one of those games that can get annoying in parts but the good thing is you can skip the crap cutscenes anyway 1 or two graphic angles are off but you definatly should follow my motto (not like i use it)

try before buy

thats what you must do

SUMMARY:
so in all this game is all round ass kicking thriller maybe it is not as good as the first but beeing outside and going all over the contry on it is good and not...

Written by Ultimate Gogeta
THE GOOD:
Graphics, Sound, Cool monsters and characters, Nice controls

THE BAD:
Can get repetitive, Its embarassingly easy,Camera gets annoying at times ,Poor storyline

SUMMARY:
This game is alright. Just not as good as I had hoped.The enemies and bosses were so easy that it was embarassing. There were no more smart-ass comments in this sequel.

This game comes with two discs. One being the hard-as-nails Dante, and the other, Lucia. Both modes were easy. Even your own mother could beat the entire game without breaking a sweat.

This game isn't all bad though. The monsters don't look too bad, and the weapons look cool. The controls are great, they don't stuff up when you're in the middle of something.

Overall, I think this game's pretty good. I only recommend it to those that are fans of Action games though.

THE GOOD:
+Graphics
+Sound
+Fluid control

THE BAD:
-Not half as good as the first.
-Really easy
-Crappy story
-bad voice acting.
-All items and powerups are unessesery.
-Enemies are weaklings.
-Artistically lacking.
-Makes you want to play the first agian....becuase it is a much better game.

SUMMARY:

Dante is back!.....but he's not the same. DMC2 has all the gameplay mechanics as the original BUT, it is much , much , much easier and alot less fun....and less challenging. The first had to be the best action game ever as it was challenging, had lots of replay value and was without question one of the hardest games out there. But that was a GOOD thing. DMC2 is one of the easiest action games I've played, it is possible to beat the game without ever using the devil trigger or buying any new power ups. Hell I beat the last boss with the weapons you start off with! Lucia's story is about the...

THE GOOD:
First off Capcom has the whole real time fighting thing down, the controls are amazing. Daunte is so badass, and the devil trigger is better than ever with a bunch of upgrades for it. Once you beat the game with Daunte you can play as Lucia.

THE BAD:
I only gave it a 4 because I thought it basically had the same plot as devil may cry.

SUMMARY:
Daunte is back to blow away demons... again. But now he has a partner named Lucia. Daunte goes through several missions battling demons to stop a man named Arius, who is trying to gather all the items of arcana and use his demon power to open the demon world and become a GOD! Of course Daunte is the only one who can stop him

Written by Sphinx
THE GOOD:
- Good graphics
- Good Sound
- Lots of extras too unlock including 2 more difficulty modes, the bloody palace, and new costumes and characters
- Cool weapons/characters/enemies

THE BAD:
- Completely rubbish storyline
- Repetetive enemy attacks and gameplay
- Too easy even on the hardest setting

SUMMARY:
This is a VERY good game outright, but is strongly let down by its storyline which is by far the weakest aspect of the game. It also suffers from 'brilliant-prequel-itis', basically, DMC was brilliant, but the sequel doesn't live up to the heights of the previous game or the hype it generated. I wouldn't however call it a dissappointment, it is still a good game, and has good graphics, sound and characters. The weapons are good but unfortunately lack the awesome Devil triggers each weapon in DMC had in favour of a universal DT belonging to both dante and the new character Lucia. This is a shame as it means...

THE GOOD:
Wow, his trench coat moves in the wind, and i like his devil mode in the movies

THE BAD:
No smartass remarks, bad camera angles, no more ilfrit, sparda, or alastor, devil trigger is limited, enemies are easy. More to go on...

SUMMARY:
Absolute disgrace to the devil may cry owner. One of the main reasons I like devil may cry is cause dante as a badass wit smartass comments. This game he says none, he flips a coin for every decision. The girl lucia in this game, why the hell is she so cocky, she acts like shes all that, but dante ass kicker of the demons, can take on ne one, but she is all of a sudden in the game, wit the same powers as he almost. Alastor and ilfrit are gone, i liked his devil triggers, i miss the frosts. Now the ai opponent is stupid and very annoying. Theres no story. The controls suck, and one annoying thing when u jump off the wall and jump again, he floats up gayly. Heres a compliment i thought the...
