 Spectacular June 4, 2008
N. Durham (Philadelphia, PA)
11 out of 20 found this review helpful
The title Ninja Gaiden alone will coax enough praise and groan-worthy comments from anyone who has had experience with Tecmo's long running series, and Ninja Gaiden II is no different. Once again, a Ninja Gaiden game has managed to provide heaping amounts of action-oriented gameplay that can become mind-numbingly difficult, and once again, for those that enjoy the series' gameplay, the game delivers in spades, and is a spectacular action experience. Once again playing as Ryu Hyabusa, you take on hordes of enemies that can be dispatched in some outrageously bloody and violent ways. The character models and action set-pieces are so flashy and well designed that there will be moments of trying to pick your jaw up off the floor. Yes, the game looks that good. The only drawback from a graphical standpoint is that some of the environments themselves aren't all that worth noting, but with so much frentic action, you'll rarely notice. Being a Ninja Gaiden game, there are spectacular boss battles to engage in as well, and the other enemies in general provide much challenge to boot. The only major flaw with Ninja Gaiden II would have to be the in-game camera, which at times can make the game even more infuriating to play. If this can be forgiven however, you will find some tough and rewarding gameplay that the series is known for; and the game's wonderful control, wild story, superb cut-scenes, great new weapons, and grisly finishing moves make this an even sweeter package. All in all, Ninja Gaiden II is a spectacular action game that nearly perfectly follows the same winning formula that the series has in the past, and is an essential pick up for XBox 360 owners that love the series, and a more than worthwhile introduction for new fans of the series as well.
Best 3D action hack and slash game... again! June 5, 2008

7 out of 12 found this review helpful
I have and played every single Ninja Gaiden game on the original Xbox and the recent PS3 version and beat them multiple times on varies difficulties. I consider the Ninja Gaiden series the best 3D action hack and slash games in the world (no, it's not God of War. Devil May what?). The latest is no exception and brings the action few steps above previous games. Like most of the other reviewers have said, all the Ninja Gaiden games are hard, but very enjoyable once you learn the system and moves. You can button mash but it won't get you very far before you see the "game over" sign repeatedly in your face. Ninja Gaiden series is really a deep fighting game mashed into an action game. People who plays fighting games know you can't just button mash to be successful. For fans and NG lovers, don't hesitate to get this game. It's awesome! For new comers to the series who will invest some time to learn the fighting system, Ninja Gaiden 2 will be your ultimate action game. Lastly, for people who button mashed your way to the first boss and died 10x and gave up in the original Xbox games, this game is not for you.
Much Better Than The First One June 7, 2008

The first game was one of those games that you could easily get burnt out on. This one, that isn't the case. With the different selection of weapons and changing from Tokyo to New York City keeps things interesting. The bosses are also harder in this game. I had to repeat the Chapter 2 boss at least 10 times before I finally beat the crap out of him and won. I would suggest this game to those who are blood thirsty, feel like being a ninja and like a good story line with not too many holes in it.
Top Notch July 6, 2008

I loved NGB on the XBox, and really looked forward to NG2. And I think it delivers. Fanboys probably think it's too easy, but for the rest of us, it's a lush, adrenenalizing, fighting environment. You could take forever to learn the various moves and tricks to defeat bosses.
In many ways, it is easier than Ninja Gaiden Black, but I think this makes it more fun. It is very linear, but the graphics and occasional surprises make it worthwhile and sometimes unique.
I continue to have camera view issues with this game. But overall I anticipate playing it again, which is something unusual for me.
Hardcore to the MAX!!! July 1, 2008

This game is awesome! If you like Ninjas, Japanese anime, beat'em ups, the supernatural, weapons, or just absolute carnage, then you need to get this game.
However, here's a few things this game is NOT:
1) A button masher
2) For the squeamish
3) A game with a coherent story line
4) Easy difficulty (I know it sounds like an oxymoron)
5) For the casual gamer
This game requires some form of dedication to master and have fun with... Since otherwise, you'll just spend all your time complaining why you died a hundred million times on the first level. Although, I have to admit, Team Ninja have tried their best to make this one somewhat easier compared to the first (ie, auto heal after every battle, more checkpoints, easier combos, and instant fatality moves).
