 Decent action title, don't expect a lot of depth. October 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ninja Gaiden II is a fast paced gory action title. It's a lot of fun at first, but it's really easy to get bored with it. The action is lightning quick, the visuals are cinematic, the graphics are very nice although they over used the blinn and anistropic shaders a bit. (Gives things a kind of shiny plastic look.) It's pretty non-stop action from the get go.
Unfortunately the story is laughable at best. The enemies are a bit far fetched and repetetive, i.e. ninja dogs. Yes, they're dogs that have little doggy pants that hold shurikens. They grab the throwning knives with their mouths and throw them at you with surprising accuracy. Who comes up with this?
While we're on the topic of obsurdity... Your CIA co-star has breasts so big they could make a pornstar blush, not to mention she's dressed more for a fetish club than a covert mission. Seriously, her boobs jiggle even when she stands still. This woman has to have major back problems.
All in all it's a fast paced action game with a shallow/nonsensical story and obsurd enemies. If you're looking for a slaughterfest and have no desire for storyline or just thinking too hard in general, I can recommend this game. If you get bored easily with games that don't have story, depth, or just don't make sense, then you should probably look elsewhere.
Impressive game, maybe a little over-rated October 16, 2008

Visually this game was very impressive, but I must say that I did have some problems with it. At first the game is a ton of fun. The graphics are amazing and the action really never gets old.
However, the more I played it, I did get a little or even a lot annoyed. For one, the camera control, whether automatic or manual, really messed me up quite a few times. And I will say that even playing this in the easiest mode, this game was HARD when it came time to fight some of the 'bosses'. I think that games in general have gotten good at having different levels of difficulty, but this one kind of dropped the ball on having a 'casual gamer' mode.
Don't get me wrong I am all for a hard game from time to time, but sometimes you just want to sit down and play a game to have fun, and not have to worry about getting stuck on one guy for an hour.
 Improvement on the original October 4, 2008

It's hard to improve upon near-perfection, but Ninja Gaiden II manages it. The enhanced graphics are mind-blowing, the new landscapes fascinating, and the new weapons intriguing. What I've played through of the storyline is interesting, but I hope it picks up (I've only completed chapter III)

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've only played a few hours so far and I think the game is a great sequal to the first. The action seems to be more fast-paced and the graphics are very impressive. I was hesitant reading some of the bad reviews, but if you liked the original, I don't see how you can hate the sequal. Maybe it gets worse as I go, but I don't see how.
Yes the camera is quarky, but it was like that in the original as well. With the replenishing lifeline and replenishing save points, the game is a little easier (at least on easy mode)--I didn't die until fighting the boss in Hayabusa Village.
I'm tired of programmers dumbing down games. Although I'm a casual gamer nowadays, I hate games like Bioshock and Bad Company that give you no reason to get skillful because enemies don't respawn with each continuation.
Bottom line is if you played the first and enjoyed it, you should definitely enjoy this one. If you like hack and slash games, you should enjoy it. If you're looking for a challenge you should enjoy it. If you like blood and decapitation and mutilation (in video games), you should enjoy it. If you have A.D.D., you should enjoy it. If you like a slow, methodical game, stay away.
