These hack n' slash adventure games are reaching saturation point. Devil may cry, god of war, Hevenly sword, ninja gaiden, conan...and new games like viking and upcoming golden axe. Only Ninja Gaiden stands out as a game tat needs any strategy or skill... rest can be beaten by mashing the attack button.
So my guess is that Ninja Theory did not want to make Hevenly Sword 2 where Sony ran in the next day after the game was coming out and started screaming "sequel"!!! So they went their own route...
