A challenging but great experience

This game is one of the most notoriously challenging games around, if you play this game slumped on your chair you will get massacred, but it never feels unfair ( most of the times, cause there are sections where the game will strain your abilities and make you scream at the tv), when you suck you feel like you suck, but when you are owning people you feel badass and this is one of the game's strong points, making you feel like a loser if you suck or like a ninja that is doing some pretty awesome stuff.
The game itself is simple enough enter room, collect items, kill stuff and move on, at first its really entertaining but after a while it kind of grinds on and on and you start losing interest.
It has LOTS of content unlockable missions ( where you are set with unique challenges) and in the story mode you can use Rachel, though really freaking hot, using her at first is really uncomfortable because she's slower and weaker and Ryu and has a whole different feel than Ryu, but after a while you get used to her.
Now one of the main flaws is that after you finish this game you probably won't play it again, cause it's fun at first, but every single level you pass there are even steeper challenges and after you go through them once there isn't enough incentive to replay the game, it gets old after a while.
The camera is annoying, and makes the game harder, cause it hampers your vision during combat and an enemy you didn't see gets in a cheap shot because of it.
Graphics: everything looks great especially the character models. 5.0
Sound: it has some generic music and the rest of the sound package is nothing too special. 4.0
Controls: Really comfortable and surprisingly easy to get into, blocking and dodging take a few moments of practice to get used to the pace of the dodging and jumping you'll be doing to evade the enemies attacks. 4.75
So if you want to play a challengingly fun game then this a good buy but beware that, after a while it kind of drags on and the story is pretty much disposable. But no better choice if you want to feel like a ninja.
