Sweet, sweet, SWEET! After having the Toys R Us dick around with me all day Tuesday, I picked up a copy Wednesday from someone else. And every bit of time Tecmo has spent polishing NG it was well worth it.
Although I will say one thing- it's
hard. I got wasted by the first boss about five times before I got him.
Logically, though, if you're going to spend the game fighting special ops men and other ninjas, they really shouldn't be pushovers.
