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.

 

Changing the camera height isn't in the demo I downloaded. Are you saying this is in the full game? Would you please double check to be sure?

 

Thanks

 

Just checked and apparently I was mistaken. I could've sworn it had the option, but it only has the options to change the 1st/3rd person camera's control (vertical/horizontal/inverted etc.) and speed (slow or fast). I hadn't played the game since June 14th, so I should've checked for sure before I posted. Sorry about that.

 

Thanks for double checking -- I appreciate it. I think I'll wait until this becomes a lower-priced game as I really am struggling to overcome my disenchantment with the camera. I love the game otherwise, but wonky cameras boil my blood and have since the very first 3D game I've ever played (SM64). I've gotten "lost" in a number of narrow hallways where the camera gets on the opposite side and I have to spin the camera around to get back in the action. Meanwhile, some bad guy is using my as a target dummy. I guess it gets better with practice but I would have preferred to not have to "get the hang" of the camera.
