A must have if you enjoyed the original X-Box Ninja Gaiden; Team Ninja really took this title to the next level. If you decide to play this game, be sure to stop and look at some of the wonderful environmental programing within this title.
I loved ninja gaiden on the old nes system. Ninja gaiden on the xbox was a great game seen in 3-d. Now ninja gaiden 2 just took a step up. Ryu has always been a great ninja but just crossed the line.
with all has brutalness. He now can slice body parts off heads arms legs everything you can think of. Ninja gaiden 2 is a great adventure game great bosses and very cool weapons. Please pick this game up right away.
I'll admit right off the bat that I'm a ninja fanboy, so I may have a less critical view of the game. I'll also say that I'm only 1/3 of the way through the game as well so I can't say how the end is or if the game continues to impress as it goes on. What I will say is that after this is one of the most fun, intense games I've played in a really long time. It has a very visceral feel and and the game play is so brutal and fast paced that it's hard not to get into it. I particularly enjoy that team ninja doesn't start you off with some lame tutorial with some disposable bad guys, but opts to throw you right into the fray. Also Ryu is insanely strong to start off with compared to the last Ninja Gaiden game (as though he kept most of his health increases and some of the skills from upgrading the dragon sword). The cool thing about that is that rather than nerf Ryu and provide some weak excuse about why he can't take a punch anymore, team ninja decided to make the enemies stronger to match Ryu. An added bonus from that is that it's very rewarding when you beat a bunch of enemies in NG2 because it wasn't easy.
I would recomend this game to everyone but there are a lot of casual gamers who will find the game frustrating and too hard. Also definetly not for children or those easily offended by copious amounts of blood and gore (it's tamer than the hostel series).
"Ninja gaiden brings a lot of weapons, cool upgrades and action! Expect to see arms and legs falling apart! Great game!"
"Ninja gaiden 2 is the best ninja game that u will ever play,i hope they make another one."
