Something I don’t
say too loud at parties is that I’m not a huge fan of the original Devil May
Cry. I certainly think it’s a unique game and I enjoyed my time with it but I’d
never call it one of the best games on the Playstation 2 and I don’t think it’s
a pillar of the genre like people insisted it was. However, I did appreciate
that it was something unique. It knew what it was and I have some modicum for
respect for it. It was unique and interesting, if nothing else. Its sequel,
Devil May Cry 2 on the other hand is a focus-tested, soulless product that
directly flies in the face of everything neat about its predecessor.
