In 2001, Capcom's Devil May Cry became a surprise hit, even though the intellectual property began as a Resident Evil sequel.
Still, Devil May Cry was successful, so a follow-up was on the cards; however, instead of Team Little Devils and Hideki Kamiya taking responsibility, Capcom put it in the hands of another studio with an anonymous director.

During production, the publisher didn't like its progress and fired the original director, replaced by Hideaki Itsuno, known for his work on One Piece Mansion, Street Fighter Alpha and Star Gladiator to name a few. In any case, the excitement for a sequel wasn't surprising, and in 2003 Devil May Cry 2 came out with commercial success.
Unfortunately, many cite this instalment as the series' black sheep, and after ascertaining the eighteen-year-old title, no wonder gamers were perplexed over the game's (lack of) quality.
