The hardest game out there.

[Polnareff]

I don't know about hardest game ever, but Shinobi for PS2 made me want to cry tears of blood.

Only real trouble I had with that game was with the dogs with swords in their mouths. I hated those things.

Devil May Cry 3 was nowhere near hard for me (except Heaven or Hell mode) and I played through all the difficulty modes. In fact I was mad that Capcom didn't make it much harder than the first and second games. SE watered down the difficulty even more.

But the reason that I probably found DMC3 easy was because of Ninja Gaiden on Xbox. Seriously, that game will make you a better action gamer because of all the crap it puts you through.
