Devil May Cry 2 (Japanese: デビル メイ クライ 2, Hepburn: Debiru Mei Kurai Tsū?, frequently abbreviated as DMC2) is a hack and slash beat 'em up video game developed and published by Capcom in 2003 exclusively for the PlayStation 2. The game serves as a sequel to Devil May Cry.
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.
