Ninja Gaiden 2 - It's like Devil May Cry on Steroids!!
2nd) After playing NG on the original Xbox, i was curious to know just how much of a nutcase one would have to be play the 2nd installment of such a cruel and punishing game. (She's pretty in every possible way but don't let that fool you, she is twice as cruel and likes to taunt you at the same time if you misjudge something whilst playing)
Finally, DMC is like a walk in the park compared to NG (DMC4 compared to NG2 anyway as i have both on the 360, and at the same time have enjoyed playing both games and can't fault them in any way)
Anyways, a little about Ninja Gaiden 2:
Graphics:
Now to me, Graphics don't have to be ground breaking, and they aren't the best i've ever seen, but what NG2 does for graphics, it does for graphics awesomely, i've rarely seen a game which moves so fast, able to keep up with the pace of what is onscreen and continue running leaving the player in the dust thinking "WTH just happened?"
Animation and aesthetics are jaw dropping like a brilliantly made arcade game....i for one don't like this notion of having to play an ultra realistic game, and this is another example of Escapism with games.
GamePlay:
What can i say? other than a super slick and super stylishly brutal action game, with the notion of destroy everything which opposes you whilst upgrading to more powerful weapons as you play (ie: buying weapons and upgrading them so you can REEK even more havoc on those unrelenting DEMONS (Muahahahahaaaaa)
(Sorry NG and DMC really get me going at times because of the action and choreograpy...lol)
Story:
Not much to say about the story except for the usual: You play the part of the super cool ninja, ryu hayabusa, who has to avenge his clan and save the human race from a brutal and relentless demon and his entire following of hell spawn.
For the Action Junkie Gamer, this is a must get game.
i almost gave NG2 a 9 but it deserved the 10 because it's a cruel demon who dishes out the challenge and you just always have to come back for more and this b!tch bites you freaking hard and throws you around like a chew toy if you let your guard down for a second.
