Not bad. G'nG I think is going to live up to all the hype. Awesome graphics and tons of new weapons and armor. Difficulty seems to have been lowered down a notch from the original but it's still pretty tough. You get to get hit twice before loosing your armor instead of just once. Looks like there's some new inventory system too but I couldn't understand it because the demo was in Japanese. Great music too. I'll definitely pick Ghosts 'N Goblins up though when it's released.

I dunno about Power Stone though. Plays exactly the same as the original but I couldn't tell what the hell was going on half the time because the screen is too small. The camera always pulls out so you can see all 4 players but it's too far out to see any detail. Picked up a gun for instance but I couldn't tell if or where I was shooting because my player was too small. Stage I played was real bland too (flat desert). :/ As much as I love Power Stone 1 & 2, I'd probably pass on this unless it's cheap or has online multiplayer.

The difficulty of Ghosts 'N Goblins going down "a notch" is about equivalent to someone taking off one of the notches on Wilt Chamberlain's bedpost.

It came with the latest issue of Famitsu. I just downloaded the demo from bittorrent though and loaded it up on my 1.5 PSP with Devhook 0.44 + 2.71. There is also a full version of 1943 (or 1942, I can't tell which) on there from the Capcom Collection.

i just played the demo too, and the difficulty can be ramped up if you choose "arcade mode". I like all the different weapons, and suits- theres lots of secrets to find!

the music is pretty good too! the jumping is a little stiff- such as if your not moving, and jump- you cant change directions midjump.. but i believe the other gng games were the same.. but once you get the double jump it rectifys this.
