Average/good game. It's not a flop in terms of reviews from around the internet.

It's a flop on gamespot SW standards 'cause it was hyped AAA.

I swear people now days take reviews too serious. I mean for crying out loud, this is ninja gaiden 2 were talking about here. U really going to let reviews stop u from buying this game? I for one am not going to let a few sites that prolly are more casual gamers prevent me from playing this game. Its simple as this, if u dont enjoy games because of the difficulty level in it, then ninja gaiden isnt a game recommended to u. Its simply for the hardcore group. All u people who whine about the game being too damn hard need to go practise more on how to enjoy any game that is thrown at u. I mean to me there are all type gamers but the real gamers wont whine about difficulty, that is one of the challenges a great game brings to challenge a gamer, if every game was just fun and had no difficulty then it wouldnt be a challenge and prolly would get boring fast. I am still going to purchase this game on day 1, but im quite suprised at howmany low scores reviewers are giving this game.

there's nothing wrong with game being hard, however there is a lot wrong when game cheats to ramp up the difficulty and that's apparently what NG2 is doing

Yeah well sorry I got a little out of hand because this is a big anticipated game for me and prolly shouldnt take it out on others, sorry people, the reviewers just piss me off. But I totally understand why they would complain about the game but ninja games has always had camera issues but it didnt stop those who played it and loved it from enjoying it. I just think some of these reviewers are being a little harsh. I think another big reason could be because of itagaki talking so much and putting down other games. That is unnaceptable but I already know for those who enjoy this game, it will be AAA material to us.

8.0 isnt a bad score at all...

Yes its not AAA as expected (though this isnt GS), however it still looks to be a great game.

Although saying that it of course has its....issues.

The reviewes review the game I dont think anything itagaki has said about other games has effected the review - otherwise it wouldent be a game review at all.

I still wouldn't be surprised if NG II gets AAA here. Remember the whole Assassin's Creed debacle?

the 360 fans do not need to damage control really. It is not like they have not had many great games. NG2 looks to be a AA game at this point but 360 has the most AAE and AAAE games of the 3 consoles. So add another AAE game to the list for the 360 which is already in the lead with.
