I much prefer Ninja Gaiden's combat over both the DMC series and GOW series. There were only 2 problems I had with the game. The terrible camera, which I hear still isn't all that great in Ninja Gaiden 2. And the second problem was that there was occasionally a lot of gameplay between savepoints. But I hear that this HAS been rectified in Ninja Gaiden 2. I mean, seriously, I didn't mind dying a million times in Ninja Gaiden 1 when I was little and had nothing to do, but I have a life now. I don't appreciate having to replay an hours worth of gameplay because I wasn't paying attention to my life for 1 second, and some Ninja offscreen just threw an exploding shuriken at me.

But that comment about how we should thank Microsoft for saving hardcore gaming is bullshit. I don't consider Ninja Gaiden a hardcore game. It's just a hard game. I consider Operation Flashpoint or Falcon 4.0 hardcore games.
