Ninja Gaiden II Needs to Level Up the Camera Work

The team that brought you one of the more difficult games of all time (according to some) has come back for another round. According to one review Ninja Gaiden II serves up what looks to be an amazing addition to the franchise, at least what you can see of it through the very counter-intuitive camera work. "The hybrid aesthetic - high-tech Technicolor Japan mixed with muted feudalist Japan - might sound dissonant but looks sharply coherent. In fact, in the hands of a skilled player NGII looks nothing less than exhilarating, and occasionally surpasses any martial arts movie you might care to name. And this is why the camera is such a surprisingly big issue. This isn't a problem with it getting caught on a corner occasionally, nor the odd confusing switch of perspective. It is a constant problem: obscuring foes, breaking up combos, losing track of Ryu, and flicking back and forth between positions."

xbox only

It is an XBox 360 game only, so we can only expect it to be 'full featured' and on par with what consumers 'really want'.

In other news, the Wii is about to outsell the xbox, while the xbox360 has been available for twice the time.

Crap like that makes me want to kill a kitten.
Not sure that means what you think it means: definition [urbandictionary.com]. Unless camera angles turn you on ;-)
