This HP is kicking my ass.
Well first you get to choose 2 different outfits depending on whether you pressed white for DOA outfit and black for a futurisitic demon looking outfit.
Difficulty. Its only harder because you are playing a harder hard mode with increased A.I. Many enemies have been replaced with harder ones. For example, early in chp 1 guess who you have to fight? Yup, those damned ninjas that throw exploding shirukens. NOW, they have a move where they grab you and stab you through the chest with their sword. It takes off a lot so you can't constantly block them now, you have to keep moving. You get the Lunar (Staff) and regular Nunchakus in the first level. The Lunar is a very powerful weapon. You get Intercept. Intercept is a counter attack. It is like Onimusha where you block at the last second of an attack and you flash. When you attack while flashing, you do a counterattack which is more damaging and gives you more essence.
Bosses are smarter and more intense. You may even need new strategies. Murai actually dodges your wall jumps more frequently now and the bone dragon from Chp 6 can't be hurt by the windmill shiruken anymore. You have a new camera by clicking the right thumbstick where you can control 3rd person instead of 1st person. Regular enemies seem to be on Very Hard. From what I am hearing the catwomen are the fastest and worst enemies to fight so far.
You have to buy Ninpo for 20000 Essence now. You have to buy the Guillotine Throw, Izuna and Countering for a lot as well. I don't think you can buy Great Devil Exilirs anymore.
All I can say is master Intercept. I heard the content may come out on a demo disc.
