Devil May Cry 2 is by far the most overhated game of the history, holy shit.
DMC2 is not even close of the first game in the series, it has worse graphics, worse level design and oversimplified combat, a shit story and for some reason Dante now has Leon (from RE4) personality but my god "worst game ever made"? Not even close.
This game has shit dev cycle and etc etc, but in a 9 months developed game you have a completely funcional shit, no major bugs, no game breaking sequence, ok performance even for the ps2 era and weird but competent level design with some good plataforming sessions. I feel that people that hate this game purposely frustrate their experiences with it by playing in the most boring way (spaming pistols) and with a close mind to not recongnize absolutely nothing that dmc2 does.
This game has good animations both from Dante combat but also movements, walking on the walls, backflips, for godsake, half of the gunslinger style from DMC3 has the animations of the DMC 2 pistols, the same goes for trickster, the player now has an option to deactivate the automatic aim lock with R2, Dante controls way better in the air and plataforming is way better than DMC 1, Dante character design and DT here are the better ones on the franchise and secrets involving flying and plataforming are pretty cool, and i honestly really enjoyed the last bossfight, the amalgamation of the bosses is cool, we got a new mechanic with the amulets that changes how your weapon interacts with enemys going from elements to actually slowing time, and it also changes DT forms, different sword that are suitable for different encounter (long distance, short and burst damage and balanced being the starting one) and you can also change weapons on the go without the need of going through an slow menu.
Look i'm not saying that DMC2 is actually a good game, but it has it's things, and things that reflected on the other games of the franchise in a good way, and i'm sorry, but calling a game with no gamebraking glitches, a duration of less than 2 hours were it's worst crime is "being boring" is just stupid, DMC 2 just suffer the effect of people being unable to look at something and form their own opinion, it's always easier to just repeat what someone else said right?
