Playing A Game Devil May Cry PS2

Augh. I tried playing Devil May Cry last week, and I got two stages in before I got bored and put it down. The introductory cinematic made me feel like an idiot - Dante fires his dual-handguns at a motorcycle that was thrown at him by a chick in a leather vest - which would be fine if the gameplay was at least compelling, but it really isn't doing it for me. Totally mindless slashing and gun-firing. Today I tried stage 3, which put me up against some lava spider boss who completely destroyed me, and I really don't care enough to keep trying.

It's extremely possible that I just haven't gotten to the part of the game that's "fun" yet, and so I'll be coming back to this at some point, but for now I just don't see any merit in it. Which sucks, because I actually bought it in a three pack.
