Ninja Gaiden II Review - XB360



Ninja Gaiden is one of those games that you either love or hate due to a number of things. And unfortunatly the sequel to last generations version of the game suffers from alot of the same problems. The first thing of course is the difficulty. This game is tough and new people to the series will probably get turned off by this, even with the easiest difficulty. Another turn off is the camera angles, while not as bad as last time around it still suffers from those problems and will cause you to put down the controller due to shady deaths. As far as those two things, other than the very odd and very hard to follow story the game does not really ahve any other problems. I have nothing but praise for this game. The visuals are very nice with the blood splashing everywhere and the special attack moves will blow you away with the head and body slicing that will be going on. That being said this game is very bloody, VERY BLOODY. Its odd that this game was not all over the papers saying kids are going to start killing people with samurai swords or other japanese cutlery. Speaking of cutlery, lol. This game has a ton of weapons to use with them all have a unique set of moves which make you as giddy as a school girl when you use them. The story as I said is kind of odd and sometimes unclear but your not in this for the story your in it for the action and thats what this game delivers, ad it does it very well. So of course this is the game I would say is the one to make you put down GTA IV. But as I said in the beginning, newbies be very cautious caus this is not a easy title this is made to be tough and has always been this way so be warned and enjoy a great action title and possibly the greatest one for the 360 this summer.

Overall Score - A
