I haven't met a person before you who didn't despise the flying levels. They were terrible.

And the shooting is slowwwwwwww. I felt stuck in molasses while playing. For a platformer, slow=death to the game. The game's fast parts (flying with the wings, sliding rails) only made the shooting more unbearable because it showed the player just how good the game could be once you stopped shooting for a moment.

I played Ninja Gaiden 2 last night for a few hours and I was blown away. The thing that made it stand out even more was I had just finished playing DMC4 before I put the game on. To me Ninja Gaiden 2 is leagues ahead of DMC4 when it comes to gameplay. The camera is way better too.

DMC4 was a lot more stylish and presentation is a little nicer...most people can look cool playing DMC off the bat too so it has wider appeal.

I enjoyed both but yeah, NG has the combat edge over DMC4 by a wide margin. Music too... Music in DMC 4 was same over and over. NG2 gets my vote for best music in game this year thus far.

I enjoy this game just as much as I enjoyed NGB. Reviewers have made too big of a deal with the camera. Could it be better? Of course, but it works fine for me. Played the first and second levels last night and only encountered one or two problems. One was when you're in the building going up the fairly tight stairwells. Turned a corner, the camera didn't really follow and I proceeded to get caught off guard and pummeled by 5 guys. Ran back down the stairs a bit and took care of them. My problem is I wasn't using the RT enough.

lol, I'm glad my struggle is now shared with you guys!

To help myself out I will include your logic:

I'm a big Final Fantasy fan, so that's 30 pts for PS3 (20 main series, 10 spin-off)
I'm a big RPG fan, so that's 50 points for 360, 20 for PS3 (10 pts per RPG*)
Looking forward to LBP: 5 pts for PS3
MGS4 will get 10 pts for the story and -20 for every cutscene over half an hour = -50
Changes KOTOR will come to 360: +25
Mass Effect 360: +5
Bioshock (old) 360: +5
Bioshock (new) PS3: +20
Halo 3 360: +0
Resistance PS3: Originality: 0, Unnecessary hype: -10
Gears of War 360: +5
Fable 2 360 +5
Ninja gaiden 2 360: +5
Red Ring of Death 360: -70
Uncharted PS3: +5
Ratchet & Clank: Rocketpig thinks it sucks: -20
I hate generic shooters, so that's -30 for 360



360: 0, PS3: 0

Thanks for your help guys!



*360: Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssee, Blue Dragon, IU and Eternal Sonata
PS3: WKS, Valkyrie (We've already counted FF)

LOL. Glad we could help you out, Benga.

Great... yet another game I'm going to need to spend money on. You guys are killing my budget.

That's an interesting list you got there.  I do have one question... how does Bioshock (new) get +20 for PS3 when it's available on the 360 as well?

You know, I thought I could hear humor passing overhead but it was so far up there it just flew right past...
