and.... Holy jesus exploding shuriken ninjas everywhere!! WTF rocket launchers on the first mission!? Exploding ninjas ganging up with the spider boss!? What the hell Itagaki, WHAT THE HELL!? They're Raping me....RAPING MEEEEE!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

....and that was my initial impression

I graduated 2 days ago to be exact.

Apparently we were the last school in the area to hold graduations....which sucks .

edit: aaaaaaand I got $360 in graduation money

If you're weary about this games due to the reviews...don't be.

This game is still pretty damn awesome. If you're a fan of the NG series you owe it to yourself to get this game.

Sure it can be a little cheap at times, the camera does get wonky in some areas, and water levels are still a pain in the ass.......but the combat is oh-so-satisfying.

as for the difficulty...I have a file for both acolyte and warrior. I tend to play acolyte alot so I can hone my skill with the various combos without fear of getting my ass kicked every five minutes.

This isn't a game...it's an experience.

This game is truly next gen! There are games that look next gen but don't play the part....but GTAIV sure as hell does.

It's not perfect...but for it's respective genre it's pretty damn close. Keep in mind that I was never fond of the GTA series...until I played this baby. Soo many improvements have been made to the on foot controls, the aiming, the pedistrain AI....it's just so realistic!

This is definitely tied with super mario galaxy as my two favorite games for this current gen. So far I just got a safe house on the second island so we'll see if it gets better.

damn this game is pretty awesome.

.The wii wheel actually works way better than I expected.

. The online is bar none the best online the wii has ever seen...It's a shame Brawl didn't get the same treatment
