There are at least two great Dante moments in the cutscenes.
Sickened by Arius' delusions of grandeur, Dante "crowns" him by riddling his body with bullets. Beware of the Big Bad's squeaky voice though. The scene is also made awesome by the fact that the game's "glass-shattering" transition to the Mission Results screen is well-timed with Arius' body being blown out to the wall behind him.
Arius: Oohh...! No... My dream... my life... I was going to be the king of this world...! Dante: "King"? Yeah, here's your crown... [blows him away]
The dramatic manner of how he kills The Despair Embodied. As he strikes back against an attack of the demon, his Rebellion gets flung up in the air, Dante seemingly disappears, shoots The Despair Embodied without looking at it, then the camera focuses on the Rebellion after it just stabbed the ground on its way down.
Dante's more powerful Devil Trigger form that can only be activated when his health is low enough, better known to fans as the "Majin Form". Thanks to its high-damage fireball projectiles and two Secret Arts, it can quickly kill anything in the game, including the Final Boss, with minimal effort. To top it off, Dante is invincible in this form until the Devil Trigger gauge runs out.
Trish plays just like how Dante did in DMC1, from having identical attack animations based on that game, to blasting enemies with lightning rays in mid-air (similar to how Dante's Devil Trigger works with Alastor). Wielding the Sparda, her Stinger is faster and has a longer reach than DMC2 Dante's, and her Round Trip is easily the best non-Devil Trigger move in the entire game. Her Luce & Ombra also fire faster than Dante's Ebony & Ivory. Unlocking her is going to be worth the effort.
Considering its reputation among the fans, you wouldn't think Devil May Cry 2 could get anywhere near as stylish as the others, right? Well, you'd be wrong. This video shows some crazy cool combos from a game you wouldn't expect. Maybe not as elaborate or varied as some of the later games, but for only the second entry in the series and a very hated sequel, it's a remarkable step up in style if you care to try.
