Yup. For anyone, even experienced players, it's probably best going through on Acolyte first simply to learn the level design and to learn the attacks of the enemies and bosses. You're given more health potions and the enemies do less damage, so it's definitely easier than Warrior

If you completed the first one, you'll likely find this one a bit easier

I played the first one on xbox and found it very difficult and only got to the bit on the bridge and couldn't do it. Thinking of renting this for a week as I have a free rental to use. Would I find this as difficult? I just fancy some videogame violence at the moment...

Jesus the camera on this game is so damn terrible, what the hell were they thinking? I'm on one of the bosses and I need to see the boss so I can dodge his attacks, but as I move the camera keeps directing away from the boss so I can't see him, and even by pressing RT I can't get it to stay focused on the boss, it just moves away again. Utterly useless. Why the hell can't the camera just focus on the damn boss?

Wyrdo · 6 Jun 2008 at 15:36

Yep i have to agree, the camera is poop.

got down the long pathway, went into loading, 10 mins later still loading

Whats that all about?

This has happened a few times to me at loading points, have had to switch off the 360 and it's been fine the next time I get to that point.

Very annoying

Bit of luck a patch will be released to fix the issue as it is pretty annoying.

Not had that bug yet, but when i fought alexi first time and defeated him he just died and the cutscene didn't appear, was stuck in limbo untill i releaded the game.

But this game is awesome, some of the bosses don't seem to have any concrete tactics though which is so far the most disapointing thing about the game to me so far.

elmuzzy66. · 6 Jun 2008 at 17:38

Do you think that these bugs are why the creator of the game left temco. Is it worth buying a 360 for? The first 1 made me buy an xbox.

Yeah that is annoying. Also the difficulty of each boss as you go along doesn't progressively go up, it's more like up, down, down loads, up.

That metal snake thing was way harder than the boss after that (The big thing on the bridge), which was frankly ridiculously easy.

Shamikebab · 6 Jun 2008 at 17:54

It turned up

Finding pretty damn challenging.

Oh yeah, but some of those are mini bosses, i don't mind them being easy, but when fighting against alexi it was just dodge dodge flying sparrow combo dodge etc. No real tactics there and the guy even gives you gamer score

. In fact it's like the Alma fight just easy.

Still plenty of the game left to go and loving every second of it.

omg stupid lava turtle thing, how do I beat it, it just explodes at the end :mad:

R0B75 · 6 Jun 2008 at 19:20

Just finished chapter 1 and liking it so far, though I died a few times on the end boss before realising I could use my big attacks :/

Tried casting Ninpo as it explodes? Since you are immune to damage while using it.
