They're two different sort of games...

Shinobi is like... "kill as fast as you can"

DMC is like "Kill with style."

But both are hard as heck.

As for DMC not being very hard....heh if it's your first time with an action game of that style...ho boy...are you ever in for it XD

Like Conan, when I went at part 1 for the first time, I had no idea what I was getting into...and things seemed a littl hard but not impossible....

Then I got to that damned spider.

I finally killed him but it took like 30 tries XD.

I've gotten a lot better since then
