Well, Dan, I guess that is what seperates the men from the boys, other than the fact my testicles have dropped and your\'s apparently have not.

My story with the game is very long. The fact is I haven\'t bought the game yet, I have been borrowing Capcom\'s, an extended borrow, since maybe the day it came out. I cussed a lot during this game, there is no doubt about it. I can\'t count how many times I died during a certain boss that was a helicopter (hmm, Helicopter...and I got a bow with CORE Arrows..eh..*chant*..
"one lucky run, one lucky run, is all I need...") . I gave up once due to a certain insane wall run / jump / wall run/ jump area - Thank\'s a lot to Capcom for making that jump, when I had given up on the game... And I let out plenty of screams of anger and depression due to a certain bitch who wouldn\'t stay dead (Note: Reoccuring bosses are a bitch). Through it all though, twenty three hours later, I saw the brief ending and felt happy.... for the moment, that is until I realized I had not unlocked the original \'Ninja Gaiden\' (one of my all time favorites) and 1.1 was on it\'s way...Now I am back to hating my life and pushing myself through the game again.
Seriously though, the game is
hard there is no debating that fact. It is cheap sometimes, yes, but for the most part the game is a blast to play through to the end. And like any good game, I can walk away with stories about it. Sure most the stories will be filled with choice words like "mother f**ker" and "cheap ass", but overall, I kept coming back, because when I wasn\'t dying, I was doin\' great and having a blast...Though I am not sure I will be able to say the same with smarter AI and a faster engine, as I thought the game was plenty fast enough, but maybe I am just getting old
In Brief:
You\'ll get your game back one day, Capcom.
1.1. makes my nipples hard.

Alma\'s Bitch.
I have a love / hate relationship with this game. I love it when I\'m in my zen state, I hate it when I see the words "Game Over" more than twenty times in a row.
