just played demo.

i'm really satisfied , nothing disappointed me.

the graphics:

many cows said ninja gaiden sigma looks better, but none of them admit that truth, NGS only remake the first two level of NGB, the rest level is same as original xb version. only scaled to hd . ngs is truly a lazy work.

as for ng2 graphics, I can't found any next gen ACT game have same beautiful environment and detailed character model as ng2.

gameplay

at least the demo is extremely smooth, no framertae issue at all.

as for camera issue , it's basically the same as NGB,ngs, only a bit lower camera view occasionally may disturb you , but you can press RT button to slove this problem.

others, NG2 featured an exciting OT system, when you cut enemy's limbs , you can use Y button to launch OT, every weapon have different OT .

enemy AI is always the best part of NG series, in NG2 , I found enemies even more aggressive than NGB.

overall, NG2 definitely won't regret any ninja fans.

some of my demo offscreens

Ninja Gaiden 2 is a faster, more brutal, better looking upgrade of the previous game. I have no problem with that at all and will be buying it day one. The last game was the best action game I've ever played , this is better.

I can't wait.

I wish Itagaki would ditch the spandex costume for Ryu.

I know spandex is Itagaki's thing. It's tight and shows all the buldges and curves and everything, but it's just too damn shiny.

Yeah playing the demo made me smile from ear to ear:D

I cant wait to get the final game and play on a harder difficulty than the demo.

I mean the AI was aggressive, but didn't take a lot off your health on this difficulty level. Imagine the same ferocity with them giving more damage per hit. Cant wait 8)

The demo was fantastic, I can't believe it's being marked down in places for Camera, i had no issue with it. My only dissapointment was how easy it was, probably something to do with all my weapons being Level 3 and being forced to play on easy mode though.

Very fast, very brutal, very fun. Major improvement over NG1

You haven't played the full game, so no its not way underrated.

Personally im going to enjoy it alot as i liked Ninja Gaiden Black.

but still NG 2 has its flaws, and reviewers felt some of them really needed to be addressed and they weren't.

Yes because weak sauce games reviewers decide if a game is good or not, oh wait they don't. the millions of people who buy the games will decide for themselves.

Stop being a sheep and make your own mind up about what is good and what isn't.

and the game being AA makes it terrible?

The PS3 must really suck ass than if we go by that logic?

hell that logic means don't bother with Stalker, Witcher, Persona 3, Mass Effect, Metroid Prime 3, Resistance Fall of Man, Dead Rising, Viva Pinata, etc

All those games suck.

Devil May Cry sold a million on the 360.

Ninja Gaiden wasn't far off from a million when it was on XBOX.

The 360 fanbase buys games alot, even Lost Odyssey sold well(a japanese rpg on a western oriented console)

Ninja Gaiden 2 could easily sell a million copies...its the difficulty thats gonna hurt it.

yeah if all these reviewers have for criticism, is difficulty and camera problems then yes, it's way under rated!! The intended method for this game is to give camera control to the player. its not going to show things properly for you. you have to implement the right trigger contantly. once u understand how the camera works this game just becomes Ninja Heaven!! seriously nothing comes close to the experience!

See the difference between what I said and what you just said is that I said Millions and you said a million, when you originally said millions. ;)

I also have Ninja Gaiden 2. It got what it deserved. It hasnt fixed the previous games mistakes such as camera angles and story. The Ultimate attacks are easy to do and the AI can get cheap at times. Lets face it, Team Ninja need a new engine for this game PERIOD

Yeah... I usually follow reviews pretty closely.... but NG2 is the exception for me..... it's essentially a BIGGER BADDER more BEAUTIFUL Ninja Gaiden Black (BEST ACTION GAME EVER)..... so I couldn't give a rats *** if all reviewers give it..... if they score it low it just shows how little taste they have in games....

read what I posted eralier! and story has never been the focus in NG2. its always been about combat! and the easiness maybe due to the easy difficulty.

lol.. ya whatever DMC fanboy... I'm guessing you love to hate on Ninja Gaiden, because its universally accepted as being much much better than DMC....

Camera problems.... sry didn't have any problems with the camera in the original, maybe noobs have a problem, but not me.

Story???.... Who the heck cares... you're an ultimate Ninja kickin the crap outta demons/monsters and other Ninja.

AI is cheap??? try not sucking.... there solved that problem for ya too.

Go tell that to gametrailers, there the ones that said the game needed a new engine.

I do agree that Ninja Gaiden 2 does look better then sigma, but that is not a big leap. Check it out. http://img365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscf3860pt7.jpg

teh maturity :| I didnt find Devil May Cry 4 to that great of a game. I know Ninja Gaiden is better than DMC, not once have i mentioned otherwise, but Camera angles and story cannot be overlooked since its sequal to a great action game. NG2 is crap loads easier than the first. I am playing "path of a warrior" and the ultimate techniques are so easy to charge, not to mention you simply press "Y" when an enemy is down to destroy them :|

GT also mentioned AI is cheap.

Camera - Well, i had major problems when versing alma in the first one. Try going to the pillars and fighting her, you can barely see whats going on.

Stop being such an idiotic fanboy. I know you love bumming off Itagaki,and my oppinion still stands.

Not overrated, it is what it is. Editors have stated to story is horrible, and I see people paying more attention to the blood/gore than the actual gameplay:|

IMO those screens dont look that good. Ill try the demo later. Hopefully the game is as good if not better than the first. I've read no reviews on the game because I dont like going into a game Im hyped for with a jaded perspective from other peoples thoughts.

I agree.the difficulty seemed a bit lower in ng2. although featureed more aggressive enemies on screen . but lack defensive AI(maybe for the sack of casual gamers)/

I want it to get AAA now just so I can laugh at you.
