JS are on a whole other league in terms of developer talent and creativity when compared to ND. ND is more of a technically superior dev since they work machine rather than devkit.
ND makes competent, linear third person shooters that just about any studio could spit out all the same. They simply have a much better writing group than most studios, and a wizkids working on resolutions/graphics.
