i start off my morning by checking out a few game websites. they i get sickened by the cover story, NINJA GAIDEN 2 PREVIEW. let me tell u something, NINJA GAIDEN SUCKS. sadly i was one of the 360 owners looking foward to nj2 cause stupid me listened tothepetty hype and believed that this was,as that b**** hilary goldstien said, "a ground braking action playformer that sets the bar for others to come."so i puchased ninja gaiden to see what i was missing. turns out i wasnt missing a whole lot
let me stop my bickering and explain myself. i will give credit to team ninja for presenting quite polished graphics and smooth frame rate. the combat system is entertaining, as there are a fine variety of moves u can use to kill ur enemies. i also have no problem, actually i encourage aggressive AI, and that's to say the least in NJ. the final thing that i would give this game credit to is the customization for the weapons, health,& magic
this is where the fun stops
ive read several reviews of this game, which have said, "minor camera issues" that's one hell of an understatment. THE CAMERA IS GOD AWEFUL!! u will run into a hallway and ge shot at by someone u can even see, and this happens VERY OFTEN. the second boss battle hits toilet bottum as the horseman appears out of FREAKIN NOWHERE and hacks the living crap out of u. boss battle r just no fun because of this. as a hardcore gamer,i look foward to boss battles, yet in this game, i roll my eyes everytime i encouter one. i played the game hoping that it would end quickly. enviorments run from moderate to very bland, and the voice acting sucks.
now for the worse parts... what the hell is up with the respawning enemies? its inconsistant and just plain retarded as times enemies would appear, then disappear and never show up again, others will always be there no matter how many times u kill them. finally, let me just make this perfectly clear, aggressive AI+BAD camera angles+no check points=BAD GAME. u get hacked up by enemies that u cant even see (again with the camera) once u die, and u do die a lot, u will be sent back to the LAST save point. that's just plain bad game design, as u will have to endure the level of crap this game has to offer over, and over and over again each time u die
as Matt Cassamasina said, Ninja gaiden is the most overated game of all time
