It's been out for a while, but damn it must be the best game I've played on the Xbox. The graphics are suberb and the combat system is way better than any game I've played. The animations are so real and varied. Most games could only dream to play as well as this game.
Damn is it hard! I've got almost 10 hours into it now and I'm part-way through Chapter 10. I'm using a FAQ now though. No way in hell could I get through the game in any reasonable amount of time without a FAQ. And I'm only playing on Normal. When I first started I got beat down a ton, but it's gotten easier now that my ninja skills are l33t.
I wish they had some sort of online versus mode that just placed you in an arena and you got to fight another ninja player. The combat would be IMO much better than fighting games like Soul Calibur even though it wasn't built for versus.
Anyone else still playing this game? I will probably start a Hard game if I ever beat it on Normal.
Couple questions.. are talisman's a necessity for the later chapters? I stupidly used the one that is given to you early on in the game and haven't found or purchased anymore since. I'm usually filling up on potions at every Muramasa statue. I do have enough karma lately to purchase a talisman, but not sure if its worth the big 15k when that may be better spent on other things.
Should I bother upgrading any other weapon than the DS? I got a lvl 3 dragon sword but my nunchucks, flails, and just acquired Dihibarlo sword are all lvl1.
Also, I got a couple of the demon seal that upgrade your ninpo. I currently have the fire wheels, ice storm, and now the electric ninpo. Are they worth upgrading? I heard the ice storm is great but I can't seem to really use it well. Do all I do is activate it and it does the rest?
