This game is hard. Don't know how many hours I put into it. They say that there 20 hours of playing but that doesn't include dying and trying to get it right. Demons and soldiers are moderately tough, but those Ninjas are a pain in the ass.
If Prince of Persia was ANYTHING like this, then I need to get it. This was just amazing.
If any of you have a chance to play it or have a friend who own it, try it out. I think, there is one cutscene that has to be seen to be believed.
Basically, it involves Ryu entering his clan's dojo, which is ablaze, and everyone is dead. He senses something is wrong. Well duh, things are on fire and people are dead. But it cuts to a woman who is facing something... bigger than her.
Ryu feels the urgency, and comes running throw the burning buildings. He arrives at the door of the main dojo to see the girl collapse (or die). Behind her, an eldery ninja's head rolls, and his headless body falls to the ground, leaking a pool of blood. Two giant metal legs stand over the body.
Ryu steels himself for what comes next. This guy, is the enemy. The controller shook when he stepped. He didn't have a face. ...Actually, he didn't have a head. Pure energy. Evil. I was like, "That is good." Storywise, I was impressed.
So, you need to see the cutscene
