Just incase you read his review, buy the game, play it, find the lounge, think the high rollers lounge will be AWESOME, and spend an hour playing video poker to get the money to enter.

Does the game let me replay with my current stuff on hard when I finish, ala RE4? Am I going to have to worry about saving over my game again like a huge dumbass? Other than that, I'd add, even if you're kicking ass take some time with the training dummy to pick up the subtleties of the combat.


No, you do not carry over stuff to different difficulties. In fact, you cant even carry stuff over to the same difficulty; all things reset every new game.

So what's the point of the high rollers lounge? If you have a million gold, you could just buy everything in the game right there.

Also: the slot machine jackpot prizes aren't worth it. 2 of them will always be some worthless garbage, and the 3rd technique will be merely decent instead of the ass kicker you'd expect it to be.


If I were to place the blame for everything wrong with this game and all the bad press it's garnered onto one thing, it would be the lack of tutorials. I finished the game without knowing half the little necessary mechanical quirks (like how pressing triangle while dodging forward will make you do a sweep kick or that circle isn't the only button you can press while pummeling an enemy).

When you load your clear save, you start over with all the default moves. BUT! You get double money from pickups, EVERY move is unlocked in the shop, including several obsecenely overpriced ones that weren't available the first time through, EVERY arena battle (including the ones you didn't have access to the 1st time around) is available, and every table at the casino is open. Plus you get some silly costume changes and music tracks.

As for things transfering across difficulty levels that's kind of a non-issue for this game since Easy and Hard mode do nothing but limit the in-game difficulty slider. If you get your ass kicked regularly the game's no different than easy mode, and if you rawk the game's will boost to level die anyway.
