No matter how good you are at this game, nothing can prepare you for the lame cheap fest your in for.  I beat this game countless times but it never stops pissing me off that the enemies are so cheap, the game is so unfair and how they use the screen layout to their advantage.  Half the time no matter what you do you can't move because your getting gang raped and your sword magically goes through enemies running past you preparing for the gang rape, then your screwed.  I love games that are challenging, but not insanely hard just because of crippled controls and cheapness.  Fun for a little while, but the cheapness is too much.
