If that's what the game is going to be like it's not even a close to ninja gaiden. First the timed events are crap. I love pushing a button to advance a cut scene, and my failing to do so results in having to do it all over again. Timed events should be if you fail, you take damage and then move on for God's sake. Danger Girl for PS1 had them. It was a terrible game, but their timed events actually made you feel like you were a part of the event. Second the AI for the enemies is non-existent. I was in a corridor fighting demons. I stopped attacking and stood right next to an enemy. It took him a full 4 seconds to even acknowledge me. He just stood there staring and finally decided to attack. The fighting system is crap too. Just mash X, and maybe throw in a Y if you're feeling frisky. My final impressions? This game isn't like Ryu's cousin who nobody knew could kick so much ass. It's more like a game for all the people who sucked at Ninja Gaiden but desperately wanted to feel like bad asses. It looks pretty, and amazing, and cool, but it's just fluff with zero substance. The demo sucked so badly. If that’s what the game is going to be like it’s not even a close to ninja gaiden.

Listen up yall, the names TX and I'm O.E. (Original Elite) Dudes, none of that R.E. (Resident Elite) status for me. LOL ;) Ok, I bet the red looks sweet, but I love my black finish still.
