i disagree on your point, i,d say number 2 was just like dino crisis 2...dumbed down demon destruction and i like a challenge...believe me those USELESS moves were essential in beating bosses like final virgil in dante must die mode.

but even if what u say is true, dmc2 still falls short...simply because dmc2 is boring. it has nothing to keep your attention and that is a fatal flaw.
