Suicide attacks – Ninja Gaiden 2
Ninja Gaiden was an impossibly tough game, but thankfully its sequel has been made a bit easier so those who aren’t ninjas in real life can play it. Don’t get me wrong – it’s still extremely challenging; which is to say, it just doesn’t rip your balls out and laugh at you like its predecessor did. Each enemy is hard to take down, and when you’re surrounded by many of them, it becomes a real challenge to keep the health meter from draining out.
So, yeah, it would have been just the right difficulty level had they not added the suicide system. What this system does is that when your enemies get their limbs chopped off, they don’t die or go boohoo in a corner. Instead, they jump at you with a bomb in their hand to blow the living daylights out of your health bar! Just 2-3 such attacks and you're a dead duck. What this means is, every time you injure a bad guy you have to ensure that you kill him, or else he’s going to kill you. It’s really frustrating to focus on who’s got how many limbs, when you’re having fun decapitating guys and watching their appendages fly around. At least, it kills the fun for me quite a bit.
Burnout Paradise should have had a GPS system like GTA IV (with the shortest legal route) to the destination - lack of such a system is really pissing off in the races - to the Observatory in particular.
