Devil May Cry 2 is the sequel to the original Devil May Cry. Taking place after a unknown amount of years after the events of the original game, Dante goes on a mission to take down Arius, an international businessman who wants to conquer the world by releasing Argosax, a demon who used to rule most of the demon world, but was stopped by Sparda. There's also Lucia, an another playable character that helps out Dante during his adventure, while having her own story.
The game is rather infamous as the gameplay can be easily cheesed with Dante's guns(Making the usage of swords mostly useless) and that the story is much more serious and darker when compared entries in the series, as shown with Dante being more serious and mature than his usual silly jokester "pizza man" self. However despite this, the game is praised for it's excellent gothic environmental design, great soundtrack, and has one of Dante's best outfits in the series. Which due to this, the game has slowly formed a cult following years after the game's 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 or the staff behind this title didn't bother to scrub these graphics out once they were replaced.

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 rode 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
Graphics the player would have saw when playing the demo at Tokyo Game Show.
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 a 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.
