[QUOTE="Pedro"]Put me on the list for "game still controls like @$$ but just worse". I know for a fact that if this was a no name game NO ONE would even ponder pre-odering or purchasing this game after playing the demo.dvader654

Yes everyone that likes this game is brainwashed by the name... :roll:

Unbelievable.

I don't remember God of War being defensive game.

Dodge? sure that was important, but not blocking.

and yeah you can interrupt enemy if you land hit in Ninja Gaiden, but that doesn't mean game is easier. A.I makes up for it, and actually that's why Ninja Gaiden is deeper game. You have to aim for that moment you can land a hit in that opening in order for you to do additional damage by combo. Making the game technical and strategic.

And that opening doesn't come often. You really have to nail the timing to get it. God of War, the enemy is full of opening. Sure they still move when they get hit, but for the most part of the game, you can land a hit pretty much anytime you want.

God of War 1 I am a bit rusty on how it compares to 2 since 2 is the most recent one I have played. In GOW2, blocking and dodging is very important or you will die and die alot. The enemies are capable of blocking themselves. Overall two required alot of precision timing especially on the harder difficulty. GOW2 combat was not a button mashing fest, doing that would get you nowhere. The button mashing for the non combat actions are the real annoyance. Also enemies had an annoying habit when in groups to attack in a timed sequence that have a tendency of getting you when retaliating against enemies. Lets not forget that you are ALWAYS open when you are attacking, regardless of the attack so you have to know when and what attack to use depending on the situation or you will get the sequence chain attacks from enemies.

Ok I'll explain why it is deeper.

Ninja Gaiden has multiple aspects when it comes to gameplay. Blocking, dodging, and combos.

Ninja Gaiden requires you to know timing of enemies. You need to find openings instead of going buck wild. Defense is such crucial part of the game. Also it is frame based combat system that requires you to know the frames of window of animations for you to know when the enemy is open.

That is why Ninja Gaiden is known to have more depth than other action games.

I loved Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge, and felt Paradise was a huge step in the wrong direction. I applaud the support and free DLC, but the core gameplay lost everything fun about the Burnout Series. I just couldn't stay interested in it when I've got Revenge to fall back on. Heavenly Sword, on the other hand, I absolutely love. It's short, but only because there's no BS in it. No fetch-questing, no level grinding, no filler of any sort. This makes the game extremely replayable, because you won't have to redo stupid things that were added to pad the game--it's all action, action, action. Between the two, I'd recommend HS.Shifty_Pete
