Ninja Gaiden 2 (NG II) (Xbox 360)

...sorry if I'll harm any Ninja Gaiden fans, I have played this game for some time, and I regret that I've payed 40 quid for it in this review I will be honest about this game. This game is Hack'n'Slash type of game, and there is lot's of battles in which you need to fight with all kind of different enemies. Every enemy have some abilities that makes the battles more challenging, you can't just run straight and swing your sword all around, the game ...
...but that's what being a ninja is about. There are plenty of nice looking moves that you can do, but with some time you get bored with them, then you need to join them in pretty advanced combos, but when you master that, then again it gets boring. Few type of weapons is helping this game really much, adding the choice of which weapon you like the best, during the game you can improve them to be even more deadly. The story plot for me is disappointing ...

Review of Ninja Gaiden 2 (NG II) (Xbox 360)

...for me and by default Ninja Gaiden 2 was the only game that looked at all worthwhile trying out. It was. I am not normally a fan of games in chop all the bad guys up genre due to the fact I never seem to be any good at them. I am being converted by this game though, don't get me wrong this is a hard game, it will frustrate and anger most gamers without a doubt....but, this is an important but.....everything can be overcome, it will take time and ...
...time whirling around like a ninja on speed chopping things up with blades and sticks. It rocks! Again I do warn it is a hard game, I get frustrated with it but nothing in comparison to the last one. It redeems itself for two reasons, 1. it reminds me of games of old like golden axe and mario in which completion was a very rare thing, 2. the load timesare short and save points are quick to use and available quite regularly throughout the game. If ...

Review of Ninja Gaiden 2 (NG II) (Xbox 360)

Ninja Gaiden 2 was, in my opinion, going to be the best game of 2008 and to be honest this was solely based on the stunning first instalment from Team Ninja. Everything was perfect; a compelling storyline, fun and fast gameplay that was still very challenging and graphics like none other on the xbox however, NG2 seems to me like it just doesnt have the same effort like the first. Don't get me wrong, Ninja Gaiden 2 is actually a good game however, ...
...unlocked) Path of the Master Ninja (has to be unlocked) Each chapter has you progress through a level with it concluding in a boss battle. The problem here is that NG1 was very challenging in that each boss had a specific strategy yet, NG2 seems that the majority of the bosses can just be hacked down with little effort which is a disappointment. The only other playable feature, aside from story, is the downloadable 'Mission Mode' which allows ...

Review of Ninja Gaiden 2 (NG II) (Xbox 360)

The first ninja gaiden released for the original Xbox was ahead of its time in action gameplay. Its been over four years but finally the sequel is here. You play as a hyabusa ninja battling against huge bosses with a large choice of weapons to-do so. Fans of the series will be glad to here that the original melee combat system which made the first game a joy, hasn't been changed. But Ninja Gaiden 2 also includes a lot of the same issues the original ...
...game is that a rival ninja clan, is trying to resurrect an evil god, you must stop it. Along the way you will journey from New York city to the depths of hell. This change of scenery is a pleasant attribute the first gaiden didn't have. But saying that the story is cliché with hollow characters and plot twists you can easily see coming. Concerning NG2s gameplay, each level is linear and only has small side paths. There are also a lot more chance ...

Review of Ninja Gaiden 2 (NG II) (Xbox 360)

The new Ninja gaiden is here and better than last. This game is not for the faint hearted. There is plenty of body slashing in this game and it is a must for ninja game fans. But there are a few flaws such as the game gets very repetetive (but it can be fun for a hack and slash fan) the difficulty of the game will have you pulling your hair (honestly.) But overall it is a good experience and there are awesome combos and flips to peform during the ...
...will say click LB or RB (cant remeber lol) to switch camera angle so it you will be able to see the boss. So my final word is buy this game for some ninja slashing fun but be prepared for the diffuculty curve. Now Have fun and Slash!!!!! ...

Review of Ninja Gaiden 2 (NG II) (Xbox 360)

Ninja Gaiden is just one of those games where my interest was disturbed as i did research on its previous game. Winning all kids of awards game of the year ect i decided to take a look at Ninja gaiden 2. Its starts off in a bar in a somewhat futuristic city with a girl with huge er guns shall we say. Getting early impressions of the game already i decided it should be a fun play. Then i was thrown straight into it with the difficulty curve being ...
...pretty damn hard but you soon pick it up. The graphics wont amaze but its not what the games about. This is deffinatly aimed at the hardcore gamers and is worth a play. Its always fun to cut through an enemy and see his body parts scatter to opposite ends of the room. I recommed this game if just for a fun weekend. ...
