Ripten Review: Ninja Gaiden 2

[Jack007]

Ripten writes: "Ninja Gaiden 2 is the game many 360 action fans have been waiting for. Promising in-depth combat as well as ground breaking graphical quality it has been very difficult not to get excited about this particular release. With the announcement that this will be the series final farewell does the gaming worlds second most famous Ryu live up to the expectations?

Well, no. But, then again what games ever live up the kind of hype this game has had? MGS4, maybe? But while NG2 is far from perfect it still has a great deal to offer.

I'm going to completely bypass talking about the story, firstly because I don't want to ruin it for you, secondly because it's bloody difficult to follow anyway (without reading every text you come across while playing) and thirdly because the story is clearly an afterthought with this series. What I will say though, is that new character Sonia has breasts so large that you could write a story based on their daily trials, (the difficulty in finding a large enough bra, for example) and it would be more interesting than the story that is played out here."

7.9 / 10

Great score for this awsome game.

I am thoroughly enjoying this game. The camera issues occur less than 10% of the time and if you just keep hitting combos, you will be fine. The camera has not once caused me to die.

This game has opened my eyes to a whole new genre. I'll probably pick-up DMC 4 after playing this one.

I'm against volf at the moment and I can't beat him. any help would be great ;)

this is a great game but way too hard I would give it an 8/10

Just use the reverse wind to dodge and then hit him from behind. I find that with all of the bosses, let them make their move first, then dodge or counter.

I just completed the game on Acolyte difficulty and I have to say I enjoyed it more than I did the original on the first playthrough... the tweaking of the difficulty made it more enjoyable... and now I can start on the harder difficulties knowing what's coming and how the story turned out... should be a good ride..
