Wow this game is actually good!
The fighting in ninja gaiden 2 is awesome it just feels right even if you can't remember some of the combos you will, the combos you do know never get old. The new finishing moves are so sweet it just makes you feel good to see the camra zoom in for the kill.
Now this game is good but it has its flaws so beware. I played on the easy difficulty level and it felt like the hardest level when I got to the middle of the game. You will get pounded by rockets while you are still getting pounded by three robots(and you might as well just use the zoom thing instead of blocking on these guys because all of their attacks break you blocks). Some of the level design have bad texture. The game skips a little but not alot.
Besides some of the poor level design the graphics on this game are great, character models, blood on weapons, and the weapons in general look amazing.
The controls are easy to pick up on and very easy.
Before I got the game I was hearing about how awful the story was but the story actually make sense a girl is looking for Ryu when the black spider clan shows up. They take the girl and Ryu talks to the person the girl last spoke to and that person told Ryu that the girl had information regarding the fiens and when Ryu gets the girl she tells him that the black spider clan is on their way to Ryu's village to the the demon seal or something. See the story has more than that but that is the base it is not bad at all and you know why you go to every place you go to.
