I love this game. I beat it in around 9 hrs the first time through. Well I screwed up at the end and did not get to see the full ending.

I set the game down, and played others and spent alot of time in the Virtual Console world.

Well I pick Red Steel back up again. I started a new game under my original profile in save slot #2. It took a few minutes to get use to the controls again....I am about half way through the 2nd time and it seems harder..?

Hey UBiSoft guys....I am just rusty or is this a difficulty feature that was not advertised???

My mate is using my profiles second save slot and there was no difference, I guess it's you being a little rusty.
