Hardest Devil May Cry game?

Which do you think is the hardest feat for Dante having to slice and shoot out demons in his four hunts? Here's what I think:

Devil May Cry 1 is 2nd place hardest (if not for the latest, it's most likely THE most difficult of the seires especially for being the Early-Bird of them all. Attempting to even get through Phantom in the final round around the first stages before losing him for a while becomes quite hectic on the hardest level: Dante Must Die. He has a instant-kill grab.) and even up to date I've yet to get past it completely at the highest difficulty setting.

Devil May Cry 2 seems actually to be the easiest of the series some reason but eventually gets hard.

DMC3/Special Edition (both) are also kind of tough but not as bad as the first yet much more than the second.

Devil May Cry 4 however being the latest up-to-date one of the batch proves its point to be the toughest even on easy levels. The bosses mean business, and the worst part is most likely because Dante is not on the front line anymore but has to be "found" the hard way.

Well playing as Trish in DMC2? She's hard on my fingers (such super-sensitive easy Rapid Fire!)

Okay downright to business, I agree with you there, DMC4 is the hardest but to some points DMC1 is still reigns supreme as the hardest one of the series. Can't help but laugh when Nero does some funny poses like doing some kung-fu and whatnot. Very laughable!

Probably DMC3.
DMD Vergil was really broken *mumble* *mumble*
