I prefer to counter everyone. :-)
I love countering the Ghosts and slowly move the shotgun under their chin and then blow their heads off! So fun!
And when you counter those dudes with their sticks, you start stabbing them really fast about 100 times in 10 seconds and then give them a final blow. Soooo awesome!
Man, I had fun in this game, but it was indeed a bit easy doing all that. Favorite fight was the fight against the HUGE BOSS (I think it's name is the Sentinel). That was a long fight, and even after you think you killed him, he makes you chase him in this really long drop through the sky and take him apart one bit at the time. Man, I enjoyed that. And that video with the final 'headshot' was just the cherry on the cake for me! :-D
