I've never played DMC3 or Ninja Gaiden, but I would have to say that, as of the 2nd or 3rd area (after the tutorial mission), you would have to be seriously fucking good at games to think it was too easy. I don't know what kind of Super Hard Games Of Hardness the gamespot reviewer has been playing, but normal mode is plenty hard enough for me. Just hard enough that I have to sit up and pay attention and I still die fairly frequently. Checkpoints are usually pretty well-spaced, so it hasn't gotten frustrating yet.


I think it's because Ninja Gaiden and DMC3 (which are definitely hard but not that hard) started out stomping you in the face with their difficulty from the very beginning while GOW has a tutorial level to get you used to the controls. Combat feels A LOT like Sould Calibur, complete with guard breaks. My one big complaint so far is that you can't change the control buttons. About half the necessary actions feel like they were tossed in a hat then assigned to shoulder buttons at random.
