Ok, so the game tells me I'm about 24% into the game. I haven't done the skirmish mode yet, but my chars are mostly maxed out of upgrades in the main game. I'm not braging, I'm just try'n to say where I'm coming from in the game.
First off, I love it! I can't believe how into this game I'm getting, I really am suprised. Here's a few things I like about the game:
1: You can take cover behind fences and the sturdier the fence/barrier, the more damage will be reduced when the baddies are taking thier shots at you (that goes for them as well). You can also hide in buildings for extra protection as well, but if you're a square inside the building you can't shoot out and people can't shoot you from the outside. It's like you have to be near a window or something, crazy eh?
2: Figuring out the load outs to carry on each mission, ie do I need the extra health with the "not being able to move as far" thing. It's something to rack your brains on before each mission if it's going to be a cqb match or a sniping expidition.
3: 3D... I think it's been done rather well on this game. Since I can't think of a way to "need" 3D in a game, just having it to make the holes seem hole-ier and the towers try and poke at my eyes when I scroll past them, it's just plain neat.
I've only been playing on hard and yeh, there's been times when I've wanted to stick the the 3D through something, it was mostly me just not thinking a few steps ahead. The damage/hp thing is pretty even on boths sides and like someone mentioned before, it's a ratio thing. Don't expect your heavy gunner to be able to take out 3 armed baddies all by himself. However, since I haven't played on the easier setting, I'm also not sure if you don't get as much of a bonus for competing objectives in the game to help lvl you characters. For all I know, playing on hard is just for frustrating me and leveling your rank... for whatever that does.
MAJOUR WARNING!
SAVE FREQUENTLY! I'm just saying. This is one of the few games I've heard of having issues with freezing. This should be fixed by doing the update from Nintendo, but from those that haven't updated yet... well update already. I've also had an issue playing with the 3DS plugged in giving me and error and freezing when the battery is fully charged. It did this to me a few times. Simplest solution, play it unplugged for a bit... then feel free to plug and play.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I just had to get a few things out. I feel this game is not getting enough cred for as awesome of a game this is. I still don't even see a review on NWR, which makes me sad.
