You guys should be wanting Demon's Souls instead, that's the From Software game that's worth playing.

The only problem i have with this game is the colour palette, other than that, it seems pretty cool and ridiculous  to me.

I'm glad Ryan likes this game. Jeff not liking it is still no surprise really.

I don't know why there's so much hate for this game. Although I guess I thought it looked stupid and complete rip-off of Ninja Gaiden too - but then I played the demo, and it was a lot better than I thought. It's kinda like 50 Cent in where.....it's not really a good game, but you wouldn't say it's bad either. It's main enjoyment just comes from the pure ridiculousness of the games scenes. I predict a 3 out of 5. Maybe 2.

I honestly don't know why either. "People's" standards for games these days really weirds me out, everything must be perfect it seems. It'll be a shock to them when they learn perfect doesn't exsist.

"piece of shit"? errr...

Ok i'm done.

You know.... this looks more exciting than Ninja Gaiden in general. I'll have to try it.

I'm going to side with the shit slingers. QTEs are just a lazy, lazy, lazy and equally frustrating gameplay mechanic. For the love of Jeebus, let the player do something meaningful and then reward them with a kick-ass cutscene that isn't shrouded in button prompts.

Gameplay wise it doesn't really do anything new and exciting but i like the idea of ninjas in a futuristic setting so that's enough for me.  I also don't mind QTEs as long as they don't penalize you for failure too much.
