If you guys didn't know, Ninja Gaiden Black is currently my favorite game, and it's sequel seems jsut as good. The storyline is slighty better than the one presented in Ninja Gaiden Black. It starts off with aa girl named Sonia, a US agent looking for Ryu Hayabusa because of something called the archfiend. Eventually it leads into a plot involving Genshin the leader of the Black Spider Clan and the four Greater fiends. The gameplay is pretty much the same as it was in Ninja Gaiden Black. A jumps, X is swift attack, Y is strong attack, hold down Y to charge up an Ultimate technigue, when you have severed an opponent Y also does an Obliteration attack, B buttons throws your projectile, Y+B is your Ninpo (Ninja Magic), LT blocks, RT zooms in with your arrow, RB interacts with objects, Left thumbstick moves, Right thumbstick works with the camera, D-Pad brings up a fast menu to swap out weapons and stuff. A new gameplay feature is an auto-heal system, but you get semi perminate signs of damage (red bar) which need healing items to restore or a save point. The graphics are really nice for the most part, but there will sometimes be framerate slow downs (most notiably in Chapter 13). The games music is nice and the voice acting is pretty solid. This game you're gonna have to play through several times if you want every achievement. So overall Ninja Gaiden II is without a doubt one of the best action games on the Xbox 360 and is certainly a worthy follow-up to Ninja Gaiden Black.
