Editorial Reviews :
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.
Buyer Reviews :
Intro - Let it be known that I have not finished this game. I have enough information to write a temporary review, which will be properly enhanced and revised once I have beaten the game. The reason for me posting this now is because I know many gamers and people alike are interested in reading up on this highly anticapated sequel, due to the great success of the awesome original. For now, everything I say is worth reading if you are interested in this game, and want feedback from someone who actually played it, and does not work for the game company.
Regarding the first, I loved the first DMC, but the end was terrible. The guys at Capcom really didn't know how to end it, which is ashame because everything flowed perfectly until then. It is obvious that you don't through mini-games at the end of a action/adventure. The whole red airplane (for those who beat the original) idea was cheesy and lame. The game also didn't need that silly space shooter at the end before you fight the big boss who killed Dante's father.
Enough said about the original, the second seems to have really improved over everything thus far ... except the story which is less involved. I guess this could be a good thing, because the first DMC built up this story about Dante's father in hell and Dante never saw his father. Devil May Cry 2 is not focused on building up a big story, therefore we can't be disappointed when the end story becomes weak and chiche' like the first.
DEVIL MAY CRY 2 - Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. Now, this is my thus-far review on DMC 2! Dante hero has returned to continue his war against the underworld of demons and super-villains. Joined by a hot chick named Lucia, you can choose which character you want in the beginning of the game. Each character plays extremely differently regarding moves, speed, and style. Lucia has some awesome martial arts that will attract many gamers. Choosing either character will create alterations in the story. Each character gives you a different ending (I have read) which adds nice replay value for the majority who buy this game.
Gameplay - Devil May Cry 2 took a little bit of time to grow on me due to the huge change of enviroment and open spaces. The game isn't twice the size of the first, it is like five-ten times the size! This should give gamers 20-30+ hours of gameplay. The game is very simular to the original in terms of gameplay, but the moves in this one are amazing! The same engine is used, however, Dante is really modified. Two examples are the famous double-jumping, as well as running up walls like in The Matrix! At first I was expecting something different, but in time I realized that this game was very addictive and makes you explore more than the first. The levels are so much bigger, and the detail is much more impressive over-all, as opposed to the first. I did not notice any jaggies, slowdown, clipping, etc ... all gripes I had with the first Devil May Cry. Hopefully the game will stay like that, because the draw distance is damn impressive, probably the best seen yet on the PS2. You can make it to the top of the buildings and see for miles, running across the roofs and jumping from building to building, all while battling monsters in the air and on ground. It is really a site to see.
Story and Complaints - The only complaint I have is that the story and plot is pretty weak. DMC 2 seems less involved in story than the original. It is pretty straight-forward and simplistic. I believe we learn more about both Dante and Lucia as the game progresses, but I havn't reached that far to review that. In a nutshell, Dante returns with this hot, new girl (Lucia) to take care of business and kill the demons and monsters sent from Hell to cause chaos. It is a cheap excuse to make such a storyline, but everyone knows that if you want a deep, engrossing story, you play Metal Gear Solid. Anyway, DMC2 will be the biggest game of this year, next to Halo 2, Silent Hill 3, and Fabl back
