I just started this game, my 1st playthrough btw, damn is it ever hard.

Anyone play this game? Its pretty good, but the difficulty is brutal and I'm only at level 1-3. :/

When in doubt, hit them with your sword.

It's far, far, far stronger than your gun. I don't know why.

very hard game IMO, but it was quiet fun

Since it follows the code of life. Since the code say's Ninja's are better then Pirates so that would also mean swords are stronger then guns...

well Im playing it with the classic controller, and the controls are weird, Im using a D-pad and a joystick... :/

but its a damn fine game.

The story is confusing, but then again I dont read japanese.

Pirates use swords all the time though

No, no this doesn't work at all!

^ 2$ thats not too abd, and its worth it.

I would suggest playing the game with the gamecube controller. Also the controls probably seem weird because the game was designed for the n64 controller
