It's a hit if you like tactical games, not if you like arcady FPS like COD.

I'll be picking this badboy up first day

Demon's Souls >>> Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Once you get to level 100 + it becomes insane. Ninja Gaiden was a walk through the park compared to this.Keir21

Was going to import it but I figure I may as well pick up the NA copy when it is released here. Certainly look forward to playing it. Hopefully it's as difficult as everyone hypes it to be

Man, the dual wield weapons with the Ninja was legendary lol.

Countering with 2 blades? Ouchhhh.

Summoners and mages were always fun times

Another helpful tool is learning the proper time to counter. I can't quite do it yet but being able to counter at will would be pretttttty effective.

Yeah I mentioned Demons Souls in my post. Anyway, the camera in NGSdoes seem kind of crummy for a game with such a high score. I just hope that I can get all the way through this game without busting an expensive DS3 controller. HAHA. Well thanks for the replies guys, and to the person who said Silent Hill HC is tough that is ironic as it was my next planned purchase after Dead Space. Oh well bring on the frustration.

hahah i just broke one! 2nd controller this gen

Pretty easy once you learn the moves and constantly move around. The last boss fight was easy as hell.Flame_Blade88

Hah, its funny....

the most frustrating moments for me so far have been the platforming inChapter 7 (in the monestary with Ryu).

EA sports eats every single company alive when it comes to NHL games.

It's a known fact ;)!

Pushed back? I know not of this!

Not getting a game because it's not bloody and gorey seems a little strange to me my sociopathic friends

It's not the fact that it has almost no blood that's irritating, it's the fact that it was there, but they've taken it out of the PS3 version. IMO, it looked great on the Xbox360 version, now we get this tacky purple mist to replace it.
Oh also, no limbs flying off enemies, either. Sure you can cut them off, but now they just dissapear into thin air instead of falling to the ground. It just looks wrong.

The game retains it's original M rating, regardless of the changes, so it's not like they're going to expand their audience with this decision.

I understand everyone's frustrations, but the simple matter is, if you're a fan, you're a fan. blood and gore shouldn't matter. i'm not gonna lie, i love chopping people's heads off in the first game, it was pretty much my main move lol.

now what is this about the game being pushed back???

I have read that the reason the toned down the blood and gore was because they needed to sell it over in the pacific. Most stores wouldn't stock the game with all the blood and gore that was in it and because of the "z" rating or something.

I mean come on, what IS THAT PURPLE MIST. Are you serious? Atleast have as much blood as was in Ninja Gaiden Sigman with the ability to chop off limbs. Jesus, this is a Mature game not a T rated game....

day 1 buy here for me even though.....

I am just super dissapointed that they took out all the blood and gore so that they could sell more copies over in the Pacific. #### that ish right there. At least give us the option to turn the blood and gore ON.

Gameplay is too smooth and fast not to buy though.
