2,000 years ago Sparda kicked Hell's ass and sealed Mundus away. He humped Eva then mysteriously died. This is not suspicious. His son Dante gets attacked by a doppelganger of his dead mother with superpowers. This isn't suspicious either, so Dante agrees to help her. They go to an island where Dante runs around a castle and slays a giant spider. Then he runs around the island and slays a giant turkey. Then he runs around the Underworld and slays a giant bogie. Then he confronts Mundus, loses, transforms, wins, loses, wins, leaves, loses, wins, and escapes on a plane.
