Now I've just come from playing the game in question, so some of the things a say may be a bit rash, but anywho....
What the hell were Team Ninja thinking
- I've got nothing against hard games, but plain annoying just isn't on. To be more specific I'm talking about trying to get a gold in tag Time Attack; I've managed 2:30.42 before
and just now after 4 extremely fast fights I was seriously eyeing a place at the top of the leaderboard, but of course it takes several minutes to complete the last fight
It's as if the game has an automatic annoy-o-meter which it hikes up if you're doing well. Of course it isn't just tag time attack either, the main boss isn't particularly hard to beat, but is so annoying as you get the impression that if need be it could defeat you in two or three moves (which is indeed possible) and often does....and when you have to defeat it twice in single time attack after already having completed 7 fights, your just asking for trouble. As for survival, in both single and tag, at some point - and it could be the 7th or 67th fight - a character will come along that seems programmed to beat you no matter what and you've just gotta live with it
Not to mention the extreme abiguity of the moves in the sparring exercises....
I love this game in multiplayer, but when it comes to playing on my own it's just bloody stupid....I thought games were meant to be fun
