If after a stage or two you saw the game was too easy, why didn't you start over on hard? aren't you 'hardcore' enough to play a game for the first time on hard mode?...man, you should know better. Even the best games are ruined if played on normal, and if you're likely to go through a game just once and then trash it, it's better to play it at least on hard and be done with it.
