I'd say 3, but only because I bought the special edition and played it on easy mode (which, really, might as well be called "normal but still pretty challenging" mode.) Followed by 1, and then 4 because a DMC game where you don't play as Dante is like an MGS game where you don't play as Snake. (Oh, wait, we had one of those, too...)
Also, Dante was at his most bad-ass in 3. I mean, at the beginning of the game, he beats up a bunch of guys while eating pizza. Then he drives a motorcycle up a frikkin' building. And soon he gets a weapon... that's a guitar. Yeah, he's so awesome, he can rock enemies to death.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
