Won't Win Over Any New Fans But Will Surely Keep the Old Ones

The title pretty much says it all.  Yes, the camera can be frustrating.  Yes, the story is ridiculous (but do you really care?).  But the action is just as great as in NG:Black and the post-battle regenerating health and the obliteration techniques are welcome additions.  I have to mention that you'll still have to re-fight some bosses (ugh), and the game seems to take a difficulty spike around chapter 10 of 14 (specifically on the Way of the Warrior difficulty).  Ultimately, this a game for the fans.  If you liked Black, you'll undoubtedly love the new gameplay tweaks, but they likely won't make you a convert to the Ninja Gaiden series.
