Looking at some recent early reviews from the usual sources im seeing a mixed bag. Initially I was worried, then after looking deeper into the "negative" and "meh" reviews i can see these are the same people that get my frown on just about any game they review.
Essentially the reason they dont like Ninja Gaiden 2 is because they cant play the mc game and keep getting their @ss cut. They also mention camera problems, which was the same in NG1, so the argument is moot.
I watch some of these "reviewers" play and they give themself FAR too much credit for "thinking" they know how to play a game with the delusion that their "zomg 20 years" of gaming skill means something a little more than spit. They are too slow to react and get their @ss cut, and thats how it is.
Gaiden was never an easy game, not on NES, not in the Arcade, not on the XBOX and not on the PS3, why it goin to be easy on the 360 for "them" we do not know. So tell these naysayers to please GTFO or at least play the game in the proper environment before they think they know what they are saying.
Having a "degree" in journalism only means you can write, or at least so you think, it doesn't mean you are intelligent
