Bad Things About the Game
Good Things About the Game
That's all I can think of. This game is a renter though, even though I bought it just because it was cheap as it goes for new games, and I collect games I like

All weapons are balanced nicely. No one weapon has a huge advantage over the other.

Also, Lucia's a whiny little bitch, but she wasn't thrown in exact as eye candy, so I'm not too distraught over that.
The missions are different, with similar path crossing by both parties. I.E. You fight the same boss here and there.
It's making my head ache, though.. Too much PS2.. (Is that possible? Yes.)
Maybe worth renting, I suppose.
Also, Delid, did you notice ANY fucking difference in the powered up weapons? I got the main sword to like, three, and the pistols to two, but they just did the same thing.

The difference between powered up weapons and their basic forms is just in how much damage they do. Nothing more than that.
Infested tanks look cool but you can walk up to them, beat the living shit out of them, and they don't even TOUCH you. The first boss (The gorilla thing) was a joke. The little monkey things that stand there and occasionally attack the air are a joke. The infested chopper hit me ONCE with the missiles and was pretty much a joke from that point on.
I'm all for starting out easy and getting harder later on, but c'mon, I'm on level 7 and have yet to lose over half my HP, EVER.
The new upgrade system isn't half as nice as the old one was. I liked being able to buy cool new abilities. Now the only thing I can buy is the usual orbs and upgrade my guns/sword to slightly more power... no buying Air Raid, no buying inferno, no fun shit like that =/
All in all... DMC2 just ain't as good as the original was, so far. Does it get better later on? [ 01-30-2003: Message edited by: Khyron ]

The game can't get harder.. Not during your first play-through anyway. Remember, this game employs a self-adjusting difficulty system, keeping the game at a level where you can progress regardless of your skill.
There are bosses that will take off more of your hitpoints, sure. Those come near the end, but also, some of the bosses near the end are just a walk in the park.
Just wait until you beat it, then you can actually select what difficulty mode you want.

Translation : You can beat it even if you're an insufferably terrible player who whined and bitched and moaned about how hard the first one was? *cough*Delphi*cough*

Go fuck yourself, Khyron.
Just because I wondered why the fuck I was getting killed every half a fucking second in the first one doesn't mean they made the second one for pansy asses.
If you don't like the game, then say so, and tell the developers why. Otherwise, if you're not going to actually DO anything about it, and just whine and bitch and fucking moan, then do it to someone else. I'm tired of your elitist attitude with games.

I did say so. I said that it's so easy I could probably beat it one-handed (Which I honestly think I'll try tonight...). It's not just easy. It's GODAWFUL easy. Easier-than-FF8 easy. I plan on beating it just so I can access the difficulty controls and bump them up as high as they go, in the hopes that it'll actually make the game a bit of a challenge.

So there we were in Gameworks! I popped my card in to play some game for the first time. I think it was Capcom vs SNK. Or Marvel. One of those Capcom vs games.
Khyron strolls up next to me and pops his card in and starts immediately bragging about he's going to kick my ass!
"But Khyron!", I said, "This is my first time playing! A three year old mashing buttons could kick my ass the first time around!"
He simply laughed evily like a maniac and said, "I'm going to do this kick ass combo that's going to kill you in one shot once I get my power bar up!"
Needless to say, I was scared. I began to look for a towel to throw in. Or a chance to blind side Khyron. I'm a big guy and he's a little scrawny thing, I could take him out before he got his characters power bar up!
But alas, before I could put my plan into motion he filled his power bar and did his SUPER DUPER MOVE THAT WAS GOING TO FINISH ME IN ONE HIT!
And uppercutted me. Once.
THE END!

Then do so and quit whining to us about it.
Capcom did a smart thing by making the start of the game easier. It appeals to a wider audience, and people tend to keep the game rather then return it within a few days of getting their ass handed to them. Yeah, I hope it gets harder as well, but at least I can enjoy some good ol' fashioned fights.
Jedi Knight II is a good example of this gone horribly wrong. I almost gave up on that game because the first few levels were so fucking hard. But then the later levels were so easy after you became a Jedi.

Yeah, I was sadf 
I was trying to pull off Shun Goku Satsu with Akuma but I screwed up the joystick movement part of it. (I think I pressed it too fast and only did one motion instead of two)

You're right, how horrible and evil of me to be talking about how pathetically easy the game is on a thread dedicated to the game, and how much I preferred the challenge the prequel to this one had. Bad Khyron! Bad!
As for the first game starting out too difficult, the only hard part in the beginning was the first fight with Phantom, which I do admit takes some practice mainly because the playing field has those annoying columns (Fighting him in the open is much easier; he's not as tough as the layout of the stage makes him), but from then on it's a breeze until the later parts of the game where it REALLY gets challenging. They stuck one hard fight at the beginning, then after that fight the difficulty adjusted itself more accordingly.
