kick ass
awesome game dude, seriously, this game rocks. the gameplay was fantastic, so were the graphics, except for on the frozen lake level, where things looked a bit choppy. other than that, the game is great all around.
For anyone who is stuck on the western ocean boss, there is a simple, but kinda long way to beat him without getting hit.
First, equip the demon nunchucks and head for the healing cavern, then go to battle. when it starts, he'll be at the top-left side. move around the edge of the screen slowly, but just quick enough so he can keep up.(ex. he's at the top left and you're in the center, move to the top right and wait for him to charge. when he's halfway, move to the bottom right, then to the bottom left) the nunchucks have the longest projectile range, so you'll have to keep your distance.
good luck.
