Why is Devil May Cry 2 the Worst?

Sequels have it tough. They must live up to the reputation of the original while making tangible improvements to justify their own existence. Some do it with great success. Others, like Devil May Cry 2, fail miserably.

It’s widely considered the worst entry in Dante’s demon-hunting escapades. In my opinion, it’s even worse than the God-awful DmC: Devil May Cry which has virtually nothing in common with the series besides the name.
