Mine was having to simply beat Devil May Cry on normal mode! I'm not as bad as it seems though. I was eleven when I first played DMC. My uncle gave me a copy a few months after getting my first PS2. I was still very unfamiliar with the PS2 controller. When I got up to the first phantom battle, I went into a bit of a trauma after trying like 60+ times to beat the damn thing, which were all unsuccessful.:wacko: I stopped playing for several months until I felt sane again. Finally, I pulled through after using tons of vital stars! I did not hesitate for a second to switch to easy mode. I beated it, but then felt brave enough for normal mode. And then Hard mode. Hard mode actually was not so bad, you retained your status from the previous game. Thus, hard mode was actually a bit easier. I'm still working on Dante Must Die! What about you? By the way, do the bosses have devil trigger in Dante Must Die for DMC?
