Shit, the Archangel guy would grab me as soon as I start. The Lunar staff is the shit! Thats the one I use the most. Did anybody else found the Xbox sign that replenish ur life?

Shit.

I'm so screwed. It doesnt help that the levels are not brutal. (its hard, but its a very good balance in my opinion).

But the bosses, really annoying. Luckily, they learned about having a checkpoint right before the boss so if you die, you just replay the same thing. The original XBOX version was not like that, you had to go through the rest of enemies before getting to the boss. Annoying.

The game is not beyond difficult as far as I see it but the camera doesn't help make the game any easier.

Alright I'm going to tell everyone how to kill a certain boss that really, really pissed me off so spoiler alter!

Spoiler:
It's a giant turtle that breathes fire that you fight in Chapter 7. Attack the head with melee attacks because those will stun it for a bit. Once you kill it the fiend will explode killing you unless you are blocking so block. The moment that thing is dead block or you'll have to start over. Thank me later

The actual levels are a perfect challenge. There fun and if your not careful, you can die, but there not overtly difficult.

Loving the game.

I've got a question: what's the difference between the Acolyte and Warrior paths? I chose warrior because I thought it was just the difficulty level, but now I am not sure.

Its difficulty level.

Thanks for letting me know about the armadillo. I totally forgot about the blocking, but as soon as it died and there wasnt a cutscene, I was like, "**** block"

Anyways, that was pretty annoying having two boss fights right afterwords so I wasted all my health, talisman and two full moon thingys.

I only have 3 left. Annoying.

Scythe is your best friend at the end of chapter 9 hint, hint.

Just trying to help make a difficult game a tad bit easier. But seriously did no one in Team Ninja say, "let's fix the camera"

What exactly is the problem with the camera? Only played 1.5 Chapters. But so far I haven't had a problem.

Well if you're playing on 16:9 it's a little bit but not much. To begin with the camera makes it impossible to see an enemy half of the time. You'll think you're battling one or two only to get ambushed by one that was just off camera. It's twitchy and when you adjust it the camera just flips back behind Ryu.

And when you're in tight hallways with a lot of corners it is impossible to see what is behind it. I turn the corner to get hit by 20+ rockets and it's not like Halo or Gears where they shoot 1 or 2 and have to reload; no it's fire one after another and there is no chance for you to get a hit in because you can't see where they are.

And it's worse on some bosses. One ninja boss guy (I forget his name) was off camera 85% of the battle because of the camera and I was just blindly jumping and swinging in every direction and couldn't see what he was about to do. You'll understand later on.

BAD NEWS! It seems this may be the last Ninja Gaiden game because Itagaki is leaving Tecmo!!!!

Nah, they'll still make them. Itagaki is gone, but Tecmo still has the rights and you really they wont whore out the franchise.

Hopefully, they make it more accessible.

I was at Chapter 8, and I just gave up. Those ****ers with multi rocket guns are too cheap.

So I replayed the game first couple of chapters.

I'm on chapter 10 right now. 9 wasn't that bad. I find the Dragon Sword the best weapon to use (that or anything else that can use the Flying Swallow)

Dammit, Im in the damn turtle right now. I used all my items on the previous boss!

Melee attack the head! It'll stun it.

I love this game.

He's agreeing with you. QFT stands for "Quoted for Truth" as in "Everything I quoted there is correct".
