    What's everyone's take on the Tenchu demo?

    I loved the first Tenchu back in the day, haven't played any of the sequels.

    That being said...the demo just felt stiff and very non-fluid to me. Not my style. It's literally like they applied a decade-old engine to a new game.

    However, it's a demo, so who knows.

      Re: Just played the Ninja Gaiden Demo

      No doubt TC. After all the improvements I heard they made to the graphics engine and A.I. I was extremely disappointed. I hope that was an extremely early build. If so, they certainly have their work cut out for them.

      I had the chance to play that First Person
      Fighter "Breakdown" at GameStop and that game was pretty cool. There is certainly a learning curve to it, but it was no doubt fun trying to learn it. I think it's main stepping stone will be establishing the right sensitivity when looking around(it's adjustable like Halo)
      EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

            I liked the Ninja Gaiden Demo. The camera took some getting used to, but it was fun. IMO the game seems to be a cross between Onimusha and Prince of Persia.

                  That's kind of how I felt too (about the cross between Oni and PoP), but after hearing so much hype, I really didn't expect to have the camera show such bizarre angles.

                  I mean, a simple thing like letting you reposition it with the right stick would have done a lot for me...I'm not sure why they did what they did, but it really hindered my enjoyment of the demo.

                  However, it's a demo, so I'll still check out the final and see what happens.

                        I loved the NG demo and can't wait to pick it up this coming week. I didn't think the camera was too bad, considering. I love the fluidity of the gameplay and the graphics are . Only a few more days.

                              I think pulling the left or right trigger repositions the camera.
                              EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.
