I'm surprised that after reading through this entire thread that so many people had difficulty with the Kai missions. On the shuttle-thing, I was shot at maybe 5 or 6 times total. I was wiping out entire squads before they even set up. It was a great time but a little on the easy side for me. It got to the point where I would only shoot people in the face just to make it a challenge.
Aftertouch is brilliant, though. It's good to see somone finally making use of the Sixaxis. It is, hands down, the most fun I have had with a PS3 game. I had myself in stitches at points trying to weave arrows around obstacles just to hit one particular guy.
