While Devil May Cry 4 originally arrived as a revelation for the series, focusing on not just a new character but a totally new gameplay style on more platforms than ever, it’s let down so badly by its meandering, retreading second half that it loses much of the goodwill it earns on the first half along the way. One of only two games that die-hard fans can skip entirely to keep up with the franchise’s admittedly batshit mythos, Devil May Cry 2 is easily the weakest and most unnecessary game attached to the Devil May Cry name. Oh, and everyone’s wearing Diesel-branded jeans for some reason. With fewer puzzles, giant empty environments, and some embarrassingly bad new characters, Devil May Cry 2 is seen almost unanimously as not just a poor follow-up to its predecessor, but a total failure of a sequel.īetween never-mentioned-again protagonist Lucia and literal mustache-twirling villain Arius, DMC2 is a notoriously tepid, uninteresting, and largely pointless game as far as the rest of the franchise is concerned. The notable black sheep of the franchise, Devil May Cry 2’s rushed development and subsequent refocusing by Capcom saw disastrous results.
