I thought it was pretty much unanimous that DMC2 was the black sheep of the series. I've only played 3 and 4 (which I like a lot, but not as much as 3) though.
2 may have been the black sheep, but at least it was focused-on-the-main-character-of-the-series, with an optional character you could play if you felt like it. Notwithstanding the fact that, while out of the first three DMC games 2 was my least favourite, it's still up there as one of my favourite games of all time. I really don't like it when they have an established setting, with an established main character, and then they bring out some blasphemy of a game where you can only play as the main character for, like, half of it (looking at you MGS2).
I just... Liked Dante so much more than i could ever like Nero. I think Yahtzee said it best when he said "Nero is a p*ssy, while Dante is more of a c***" Dante, while not in the Chuck Norris league of manly, is still badass enough to pull off -all- of his one-liners. But now there's 4, with that whiny b*tch Nero, and 5 coming up, with crack-addled Dante.
I do apologise for the partially-blanked-out language, and the rant that accompanied it, but we all have characters we adore, and Dante is the game-character that i love most <3 (in a purely platonic way)
