Customer Reviews same old NG1 action.......on steroids, plenty of room for improvement Good-Improved graphics/LOTS of weapons/frequent save points/better music/semi-regenerating health bar/gore/finishing techniques Bad-bland environments/glitches and bugs/camera seems to "fight" you/low replay value/VERY little unlockable content/enemy AI resorts to cheap tactics This games combat is its saving grace, its addictive, fun, and satisfying with so many ways to off the opposition. The finishers can really bring out the masochist in you. I'm currently on master ninja having played the 1st 3 difficulties. The enemy AI is really intelligent that they'll adjust to always find the most effective way to take out Ryu, most of the time thats resorting to cheap tactics such as 6 enemies aggressively attacking you up front(2 of them looking for an unblockable throw while the remaining 4 relentlessly executes combos) and the remaining enemies stay in the back throwing shuriken after shuriken that explode. You will constantly be attacked as soon as you walk through a door without even sighting an enemy, constant cheap shots like this along with the camera looking at everything but the action will be more than enough to frustrate the avg. gamer. There is no theater mode/concept art, or anything of that nature upon completing the game. The unlockables include costumes(1 per difficulty) and these are color variants not even new costumes. This game seemed like a rushed product, but even after dying so many times you'll still keep playing because the combat was so well made. In love with Ninja Gaiden II I just finished this game not to long ago and it was quite a rush. It wasn't as hard as the first one but still a challenge. It took me 4 days to beat it. The game was absolutely amazing and full of surprises. one of the best games in xbox360 i love the cover box and , the game is fast and cool with great fight like real fight. and its better than ninga daiden sigma. if you like fast action game buy it now. my score is 9.5 the graphic 9 . good graphic but small problem with camera. sound 9 i like the japan's voice gameplay 9 very fast action game with lot of blood [ Buy Ninja Gaiden II ] [ All Games ]
