NG2 definitely kicks ass! I've been having a blast with it. It can be hard though. I've just started level 5 (warrior mode) and I've died like 20-30 times, haha. The tests of valor are pretty tough as well. I haven't had time to play the past few days as I was away from home/playing my new ds lite, hehe, so I haven't advanced yet.

The camera isn't too bad once you get used to it. I do occasionally use the centering camera, but adjusting the camera with the right stick is essential. I didn't have as much trouble with the camera with DMC4, but NG2 is a much better game than DMC4,IMO.

The only Test of Valor I had trouble with was 5 (on chapter 7). Having to fight 10+ (although not all at once) of those mecha soldiers while ninja's are shooting rockets at you = not fun. It's definitely the hardest one. Flying swallow FTW!

People that complain about the camera either: 1. haven't taken the time to master the camera's controls or 2. are too lazy to realize that you can change the camera height, etc. on the settings menu.

Well I haven't gotten that far yet. I've only done the first two ToV's, but I think the toughest ToV that I faced was the first one, simply because I had no idea what a ToV was and I was surprised at enemies just constantly coming at me. The second one I got through once I started using my jump + attack with the dragon sword.

I didn't notice there were camera adjustment options in the menu, either. I've been doing alright with the standard camera though. ;-p

 

I never played the original Xbox NG/NG Black (as I never had an Xbox 1), so this is my first chance getting a crack at the new NG games (I played the old NES NG games). I was looking to pick up a used copy of Black, but I couldn't find it for a reasonable price and by the time I decided to just get the Xbox Original download of Black, NG2 was going to come out. Maybe once I finish 2 I'll dl the XBO Black :)
