    Jesus Christ, this is like the Ninja Gaiden of 2D platformers.

    Hell, Megamn 9 didn't cause me that much trouble and I've already wasted nearly ONE HUNDRED LIVES on Prnny: Can I Really Be the Hero?

    I can't even imagine what it would be like on Hellish Mode, aka, the mode where you die the instant you are hit.

    Let's put it this way, that 1000 lives it starts you off with?

    That sir, is not a joke. You will fucking need them.

    If this game wasn't one of best platformers to come out in years, I would have thrown down my PSP in disgust after the first level.

    The problem is though, unlike games such as Megaman 9, it's very very hard to blame the game when you lose. Almost every time I've lost a life, I felt as though it was only my lack of skill that paved the way to the cruel demise of yet another Prinny.

    The game is somewhat genuis in the way it uses lives, since every life is basically an indiviual Prinny you start to feel really bad after you blow through twenty of them getting through a level.

    Some people have complained about the jumping controls, mostly the fact that you can't change direction in mid jump, though it's really just because it is a different game.

    This is not a platformer where you can blow through it without utllizing every single one of your moves. Usually in combination to make jumps of impossible height and to take out the games multide of bosses.

    A butt stomp move has never made such a difference.

    So, bottom line of this senseless 1 AM in the morning why the fuck am I still up rant, if you have a PSP fucking buy Prinny.

    It's only forty bucks, it has two different modes, mutliple variations of every level, a CD, a comic, and it's one of the fucking hardest/fucking best original platformers to come out in years.

    I'm going to go to bed now.

    After I play some more Prinny.

    Coolio...I've been really interested in this game, but a bit hesitant to pick it up. It doesn't really matter though...it's an Atlus game and that's pretty much enough to make me buy it :P

    I was going to buy it back when it was supposed to be a 20 dollar download on the PSP Store, but 40 is way too much for something like this. I'll wait for a price drop.

    No.

    I have both Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden II for NES.

    Those are nothing compared to the new ones.
