Devil May Cry 2 is the sequel to the original Devil May Cry. A few years after the events of the original game, Dante goes on a mission to take down Arius, a businessman who wants to release Argosax, a former ruler of the demon world. Dante is joined by a new playable character, Lucia, who also has her own story.
Devil May Cry 2 is an infamous entry in the series. The gameplay allows constant spamming with Dante's guns (rendering his swords mostly useless) and the story has a much darker tone than the rest of the series, with Dante being more serious and mature than ever. Despite this, the game is praised for its excellent gothic environments and great soundtrack, and it has one of Dante's best outfits in the series. This has led to a cult following in the years after its release.

Unused Graphics
Early UI and Menu Graphics
Nearly every single graphic for the main menu and UI has some sort of early variant or placeholder, possibly showing that they were replaced late into development and the development team didn't bother to remove these files once they were replaced.

The series traditional red orb originally didn't have the weird face.

The graphics for the in-game log went through multiple revisions before settling on a simple red background.
Dummy
A rather simple dummy texture.
Scrapped Motorcycle Mission Leftovers
Remnants of the scrapped motorcycle mission where you would have ridden down a long highway while shooting at demons. From how it's placed in the files, it would have been originally chapter five for Dante.
Controller Type B
A placeholder graphic for type B controller settings.
TGS Leftovers
Screens related to a Tokyo Game Show demo.
Unused Music
To do: There's a high possibility that this track belongs to a different Capcom title released before 2003. Perhaps from Power Stone or Mega Man Legends? |
In "Z_DATA_BIN", there's an unused happy short track named "Jiro.adx". Given how Devil May Cry 2 soundtrack is entirely dark ambient and rock, this is rather out of place.
