Tried it and had a good time for the most part. Can't see myself buying the game I don't think unless it hits discount (which I don't foresee happening for a very long time), so having the demo was great.

Not saying I disliked the game necessarily but I found myself getting bored a little way into the demo and if that's just the first level I doubt the whole game itself would do much more for me.

I won't buy this. Because I suck suck suck at Sigma. And since I play games for fun, not for enragement, I will avoid it.

At least I'm honest. I really liked Sigma. But I still haven't beaten it, because I suck.

I hope that those of you with more skillz than I have enjoy this game :) I feel like the special needs kid who never gets to play the "real" sports and has to be the score card holder kid or something.

I seem to recall them saying the demo was going to be out last tuesday. It's a great game, but I was an idiot and started playing on Path of the Warrior. Needless to say, I've seen the game over screen more than I've seen actual game-play. And all I've gotta say is - Fuck the Armadillo. Seriously.

Man, I loved the demo. Rocked it hardcore. I so want there to be an adjustable difficulty. These guys were way easy. :)

This game will be my next purchase.

The path of the warrior will definitely test your skills. You will quickly learn to defend, counter and use the ultimate and obliteration techniques effectively.

Or you will die, multiple times.

15 levels. It took me 10 hours to get to the final boss(es).

That length of game seems like a renter to me. I'm waiting for it to be shipped to me right now.

[Disgustipated]

The demo is AWESOME. I can't wait to get NGII now. Didn't think it'd be that good, but it just feels great.

That was 10 hours on easy. :P

QFT. Bap played Path of the Acolyte (easy), there's also Path of the Warrior plus two more levels you need to unlock. Like DMC, it's a game you're meant to play through multiple times. Now, I know I'm definately not the best or most skilled gamer, but for the record the original took me 30+ plus hours on normal :p.

[pooty-tang]

Awesome game. Still tough as nails, but much more accessible than the original. I don't really mind replaying these bosses to figure out their weaknesses, unlike that pink pile of shit Alma from the first.

[Grifter]

I'm playing on "Way of the Warrior" and while it's no walk in the park it is definitely easier than the default difficulty of the first game.

Easy, playing Ninja Gaiden on Hard mode has made me a blocking and countering master. After beating the demo once, I couldn't unlock the other mode. What gives?
