Should do

It's at 33% for me already.

Just had a play of the demo, won't put my thoughts out in the open to spoil it for Davey till after he's played it.
Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

Easy is actually quite easy at least for that level, if I managed to survive, it can't be that bad! Then again I didn't get to the end of the level this time round so not sure if there's a boss at the end that will pulverise me. The 'fatality' style moves are over the top but cool. And it's still got that great fluid feel that the original had. You know if you screw up that it's your fault, not the game's mechanics.
However, there are camera issues again. It doesn't detract from the fun but is still a minor niggle.
It was enjoyable enough that I'm now eyeing up what I could trade in so that must say something

I'll probably end up waiting a while though to check how hard it is

End Spoiler Alert!

Ah crap.

Quote:

As we eagerly await our chance to experience the Ninja Gaiden II demo we just caught wind of a VERY juicy announcement coming from Mr. cool shades, Ninja Gaiden creator and Team Ninja member Tomonobu Itagaki. Simply stated, Itagaki is suing Tecmo and just announced plans to leave Team Ninja ... ZOMG!

According to 1UP who received an official letter from one of Itagaki's aids, Itagaki reveals that he is suing Tecmo for 145 million yen due to "unpaid completion bonuses" and because Itagaki claims that there were "unreasonable and disingenuous statements made towards me" by Tecmo's president Yoshimi Yasuda which caused "significant emotional distress." The letter goes on to say that the lawsuit is based on a "strong intent to question the social responsibility of Tecmo Co., Ltd." and that Itagaki will resign from Tecmo effective July 1st. Ending his letter, Itagaki addresses his fans, saying that Ninja Gaiden II "will be the last Ninja Gaiden I will create", mentions that he will never "be able to make Dead or Alive 5" and, for that, Itagaki regrets "the disappointment this will cause" those who have enjoyed his work.

I managed to have a quick 15 min go on it as it downloaded really quickly for me. I found it really quite easy tbh, but it was on the easiest difficulty. I didn't finish it though so it could well pick up in difficulty. I want to try the harder level

I love the talons, but not overly keen on the scythe, it's a bit too slow for my liking. I'm not looking forward to having to complete the entire game using that :/

Haly · 03-06-2008, 13:29

I thought you'd find it too easy

The scythe is handy for cool looking deaths but it is a bit slow.

Davey_Pitch · 03-06-2008, 13:36

Gimme the full game, gimme hard difficulty to start with, and I'll be a happy Davey

Haly · 03-06-2008, 13:52

*eyes ebay auctions ending tomorrow and wonders if she can make £32.99 out of them*......but I probably shouldn't........but I haven't bought a game in a long time.......but I have things to pay for coming up......
I love how my brain works, not

Oooh although if it is hard, give it a week and I bet loads of people start selling their copies off cheap. That sounds like a plan

Davey_Pitch · 04-06-2008, 13:15

Yay, my copy has been dispatched from Gameplay, I'll hopefully have it tomorrow. McDan completed it in under 8 hours on the easiest difficulty, so I'm going to aim for a similar time on the normal level, and hopefully find that the achievements will stack

Keep us updated on your progress

If you can find the time to type in between sessions

Davey_Pitch · 04-06-2008, 13:20
