If you own a ps2, you should ALL be playing this game!
Not only does it make up for that sack of crap known as DMC2, it even puts part 1 to shame. This game took everything that was great about the series, and made it even better.
More story, more moves, more style, more combos, quick changing on the fly of weapons, the graphics have been improved greatly, and Dante is more cocky then ever.
The one complaint you'll see everywhere, is that this game is considered to be 'impossible' by some. Because seriously, it really is. I had a hell of a time just playing it on easy, so i'd hate to see anything else. Even if the levels were easy, the boss fights require you to use every trick in the book. Though some can just be brutal.
What really stands out for me though, is just how over the top and zany the story scenes are. They have some of the coolest fight scenes i've ever seen. You'd think Kitamura directed them (which i can SWEAR they said he did, but i couldn't find his name anywhere in the credits)
Overall, this is one of those 'must own' ps2 games. Especially if you're a fan of the original.
//edit// DMC3 is no longer the sack of crap!!! Thanks for pointing out that typo ... I really meant that craptastic piece of crap known as part 2
