Still buying it day one though. If it's anything like NGB then I'll be in heaven.
Morph-0 said:A lot of good points being made about the way games are reviewed in general. Lets not forget these sites are business and often reviewers may be forced to play games genres they don't like or can't handle, yes its the rise of the casual gamer started before the fiends came to be known.
Any way on a more positive note we have one who has the required high level of skill

yes the force is strong with this one as for the other reviewers well.. how about some Katamari? ahy
Part of grappling with the difficulty involves learning how to manipulate the game's freely rotatable camera, which won't (and technically can't) be there on its own much of the timeRyu and his enemies simply move too fast. You either get this about the series or you don't. If you don't, plan to spend over half the game damning the camera's propensity to hitch on the wrong side of everything. But if you recognize that part of mastering these games involves operating the left and right thumbsticks effectively, you're in for a treat. The charge you get after skillfully, deliberately eviscerating enemies that were on any side of the screen in nanoseconds can be indescribable.
Y2Kev said:It did impress him. The text of his review indicates that without the game's great combat system (which he says received tons of "love"), it would be pretty terrible as an adventure game.
I've been waiting to say something like this for a year and a half: If this is the future of casual gaming, motion controls, and Wii, count me in. A+

As a person, I find the idea so shameful, so embarrassing, that my ears start to burn when I see other people do it.

i certainly don't want 10 scores with every damn review AKA GTA4.

Why don't I?Morph-0 said:so why don't you just wait play the game then make your own mind up, that is if you are up to it. I mean you have your own opinion don't you?
That's more like it.Game Informer: Ninja Gaiden II Review
Ninja Gaidens action is an exaggerated dance of twirling steel and falling body parts. The amount of blood that sprays from your victims bodies is ludicrous. Its female characters are as stereotypically well formed as its monsters are deformed. And the games atmosphere is an almost incongruous mix of Japanese spirituality and sci-fi technology. So obviously, Game Informer love it. 8.75/10
not really.Spirit of Jazz said:You can't really learn too much from opinions of those you're not targeting your game at. Think they'll need to wait to hear from the fans. Even then it's not like Itagaki gives a fuck about anyone's opinion but his own...

You remember that.

with NG2, Itagaki started listening to others in his team.
he said that in one of the video interviews in gametrailers i think, i couldn't find it though.

a Master Ninja said:Wait, people actually used the right thumbstick during combat in NGB/Sigma?
There's been a right analog free cam option since the first Hurricane Pack in the original. NGB has the option as well.Mifune said:I'm pretty sure using the right thumbstick in NGB takes you into first person look-and-die mode. So I'm not sure what that reviewer is talking about.
But do people actually try to use it during combat?raYne said:There's been a right analog free cam option since the first Hurricane Pack in the original. NGB has the option as well.
Say, if the camera's facing a wall and I dispatch an enemy there.. I'd then flick the camera down the hall if I knew other enemies were down there. So it depends on your definition of "during".a Master Ninja said:But do people actually try to use it during combat?
This is what the right trigger is for. Why would you ever take your thumb off the Slaughter buttons?raYne said:Say, if the camera's facing a wall and I dispatch an enemy there.. I'd then flick the camera down the hall if I knew other enemies were down there.
Sure, but if Ryu's facing the other direction, you'd have to turn around first then hit the R trigger. So if I were during something in mid-air (izuna drop, guillotine throw, just landing from a flying swallow etc.) it's far easier to flick the right stick than to wait for Ryu to land.Liabe Brave said:This is what the right trigger is for.
