Ninja Gaiden II improves on the formula established by the original Xbox Ninja Gaiden, while retaining all that was fun.

I'm going to say this right off the bat...this game is completely and utterly amazing. The difficulty and gameplay give it a nice retro feel while at the same time being refreshing and a new experience. This game cracks everything to 11, starting from a soundtrack that makes the game just click to the difficulty that is challenging and yet rewarding at the same time. I've gotten frustrated at the game before, but never once did I think it was cheap, just a player error that caused my downfall. Along the course of the game, you just get better as your weapons do (you pretty much have to to survive), and you just have a brutal, bloody blast. My 1 and only gripe on this game is the glitches at points (like on the Lycanthrope Castle, I got stuck in a wall on a roof fight with some of the werewolves, and then they got stuck too), but all in all, this game is the epitome of action games. If you want to have fun, pick this up, but you better bring your A game to the table with you.
