how hard is this fucking game? i just got it for my birthday. i'm about to begin chapter 5 (of 16). i think i shouted the phrase "fucking cunt!" on level one. i've never done that before. anyone play or finish this beast? i'm loving the challenge.

It really starts to get a lot easier during the middle chapters, then turns into a bitch again around chapter 14. That is where I stopped. I thought about picking it up again, but I don't need that frustration in my life.

i dont own an xbox but i may make the trade..

castlevania (new) and ps2 for xbox and gaiden..

not forever, just till we both complete the games..castlevania is kinda easy so he may beat it before i do

My friend just beat it recently. It was fucking hard.

I'll stick with the NES version. I don't need a bastardized, improved graphics one.

How is it bastardized? It kicks the originals ass, plus you can unlock the original withen the game.....

Don't question my bitter old man complaints. *Recalls renting Pit Fall solely for the purpose of accessing the hidden original Atari version.*

one of the hardest first bosses ever hehe, i stopped playing shortly after that, i'd still like to pick it up again though

i beat the game last night! i put it down for almost half a year and finally decided, bullshit. i started from the beginning and after over 20 hours of work, i'm king dork!

Harder than Goldeneye Aztec in 00 agent?

It is like any hard game. You have to memorize your enemies moves, where they attack from, and know how to counter them. That is pretty much how Goldeneye was. Goldeneye was a bit more about being sneaky on the harder levels. Ninja Gaiden is super fast paced when the action gets going and the enemies are pretty damn smart. Both freaking hard.
