[NGW]

Well, now that I actually have my copy of the first game and have managed to play it for a bit I am definitely down for the sequel.

I'm not all that far into the game. I've only unlocked two additional riders (W and Hibiki) and done their first respective stages. It's been pretty fun though. It's a nice bit of power fantasy fulfillment, and playing on hard has..not actually provided all that much of a challenge, aside from one of the few things in recent gaming memory I can in all honesty call "cheap", which was the lightning storm part of the little mini-gauntlet before facing Weather at the end of W's stage. Getting juggled from "perfectly timed/placed" lightning bolt to "perfectly timed/placed" lightning bolt until I was basically dead when I finally fought Weather was really really irritating, and I died quite a few times before finally beating the stage.

They do manage to make playing as the different riders feel, well, different. Hibiki is an absolute beast as well, love playing as him, he combos like a mother ****er hahahaha.

Bike play definitely needs to be improved. Hell add in some on-bike combat and I'll be happy. Controlling them in the first takes a bit of getting used to, and even when you are used to it it never quite feels right.

Oh and I really hope the new game just has the licensed music instead of releasing two separate versions of the game, charging us a premium if we want to REALLY feel like we are playing a Kamen Rider game.

Part of me really wants to put all the appropriate songs on my PS3 to make use of the custom soundtrack option to make my standard version sound like the premium one, but I heard that running custom soundtracks makes the game lag really bad.

Speaking on that, I haven't had much in the way of really bad lag yet. Even having Hibiki spam fireballs into a ton of bakeneko and rat fangires doesn't slow the game to a chug.

Do need more secondary riders playable. Hell give me all the Gaim and Ryuki riders and I'll be oh so very happy.
