Devil May Cry 2 is an action game developed and published by Capcom in 2003 exclusively for the PlayStation 2. The game serves as a sequel to Devil May Cry and is chronologically the fourth and final game in the original Devil May Cry series, with Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, Devil May Cry, and Devil May Cry 4 all taking place before it. Set in modern times, in the fictional city of Vie de Marli, the story centers on Dante and Lucia in their fight to stop a businessman named Arius from raising the demon Argosax and achieving supreme power. The story is told primarily through a mixture... of cutscenes using the game's engine, with several pre-rendered full motion videos. Devil May Cry 2 received mixed reviews, and has been criticized for a variety of development decisions, which made the game considerably different from its predecessor; chief among these decisions was the lowered difficulty. Nevertheless, it was a commercial success. In Devil May Cry 2, the player guides either Dante or Lucia through an urban environment, fighting groups of monsters in fast-paced combat.
