Dante still has his huge sword and his signature twin pistols, Ebony and Ivory, but since the first game, he has picked up quite a few nice tricks. He can now run on walls, kick while being in the air and shoot in different directions at the same time. You have also received a side kick, the beautiful Lucia, who is as skilled as Dante when it comes to combat, although she prefers knives to fire weapons.
The level of violence in the game is high and this, coupled with the quick paced action sequences, made it a best seller and the series continued to thrive with the biggest addition being Devil May Cry 4, launched in 2008.
Glitches
Big jump
There is a glitch in the stairwell where Dante obtains the Flame Heart. This is performed easier in Devil Trigger mode. It can also be done with the Rocket Launcher (not in Devil Trigger). At that staircase, there is a way to jump from the bottom near the door almost to the top door. Stand at the bottom of the ledge where the staircase drops off, and hold Toward the camera so Dante will flip when he jumps. Press Jump, and as soon as you release it, fire as fast as possible. If done correctly, he will finish his jump on higher stairs.Invisible walls
During mission 22 when you are approaching Mundus while he is in statue, go to the right or left side of the room. You will find that there are invisible walls trapping you in. You can wall-jump off these invisible walls.
