Devil May Cry Gets A European Date

The PS2 version of viewtiful joe was an attempt to make more money. The Gamecube version sold dissapointinglybut still ok, but the PS2 version actually sold less then the GC one (in both Japan and America).

The PS2 version has no extra levels, and Dante is really just tacked on (although he does have a story and ending, it's the same game playing as him).

Also, as you'd expect of a port (espescially one to inferior hardware), the PS2 version has performance issues. Framerate drops, slowdown (unintentional, not in the game), jaggy edges, blurry textures and washed out colours (which is probably just the blurry textures, actually) can all be seen compared to the original version. But the framerate issues are the worst since one of the grat things about the game is the way it runs and moves. Also, the game was clearly designed for the GC controller.

Most magazines and online sites didn't mention these problems as much a they should have. The Point is, even with the Dante bonus, the Gamecube version is still by far the superior game.



Oh, and no, I didn't like DMC2, and so don't really care about 3. 1 was the reason I got a PS2, so it bit that 2 sucked.
