Ninja Gaiden 2 Review

By Tom Orry - 26/05/2008 - 8:02am GMT

For every level you beat you feel like you're becoming a better gamer and that's a feeling that very few games can claim to give. This is action gaming at its very best.

Schwingy	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Gamesradar is vulgar and insulting in its review. I don't think they are worth listening to. "The saving grace here is the fanbase. If youre in this group, theres no reason why you wont love Ninja Gaiden 2, despite its faults. You dont care about next-gen graphics, level design and fairness, right? You like having Tomonobu Itagaki stamp on your ego, rob your of sanity and piss down your throat." Reply

aojiroi	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Those slow down problems are very real. The camera complaints are very real as well. I loved NG:B and played the crap out of it. played it again this past week in preparation for NG2. Ive been playing NG2 for the past few hours and ive seen some really bad slow down. Also on the boss in Hayabusa village the camera was insanely bad. i was staring at a wall 9/10 of the time. The action is great and the gore is ridiculous but i dont know if i can sludge through the awful camera problems. Report Reply

robo	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post This game is in the range from 8.3-9.3 in my opinion. All sites (worth mentioning.... that is not including low class gameradar) that gave it a low score, had a pretentious reviewer who complained about things that are not a problem. Slow downs? never had one, even in Tests of Valor. Camera angle? Controlled by the user, only a noob would complain about that. This game is fun, and the combat outclasses God of War, and Devil May Cry (especially after DMC4 disappointed so badly). If you have XBOX360, you owe it to yourself to own this classic.... or at least rent it. Reply

Dissapointed	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Fighting with normal ninja and demonoid mobs is pure gold, but the bosses are just sad. I'd rather be fighting equally skilled martial arts-like bosses (resembling a more bloody Soul Caliber like fight) instead of these wannabe Devil May Cry like bosses. The battle with Genshin for instance, (the main bad-guy) is much more to my liking. Also what i dislike is the fact that enemies can't damage each other. Loads of demons and soldiers carrying rpg's are nuking the hell out of you while they themselves don't receive any damage from it. Doesn't seem right. Game mechanics in this game are 10/10 Story is 5/10 Bosses (creativity behind it) 3/10 Camera (really tends to suck every now and then) Reply

Slowdowns R us	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Somewhere in Chapter 10, after you fought 2 skeleton dragons, you`ll need to fight another skeleton dragon to receive a bone tablet after which a door opens and as you walk up the stairs, a GIGANTIC Ninja horde approaches you. It slows down from the moment all those ninja's advance. But to be completely honest, i like it slowing down, that way you`ll get to enjoy the extreme carnage more in detail ;) Reply

Anonymous	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post Was there even a story to this. The "story-line" is just an excuse for the game to have an ending, or else it would be endless blood-baths. And that battle with the hordes on Ninja in Chapter 10, that was epic. I got a crap load of Karma from that. Really fun game though. If you even dare say the combat engine has a flaw, you deserve to be shot. And will be shot. Reply
