This was almost a good game, but should have been throught through and given more depth.
User Rating: 6 | Ninja Gaiden II X360
Having played several versions of Ninja Gaiden in the past going all the way back to the original with I was a kid, I was expecting more from this one. The Ninja has some pretty trick moves but I just could never use them naturally. I kept having to 'think' about moves and you don't have time to do that when you are fighting a bazillion bad guys. Other games such as GOW, COD4, and Halo are just more intuitive and 'feel' right. Plus, this game is ridiculously violent. It is not just violent but borderline insane. It is as if the creators thought if there was enough blood around and limbs laying about, it would make up for the lack of story and plot.
So, the game flows like this: Short story, kill, move, kill a hundred more, move, kill some more, move, get a new power to kill a thousand more, tiny bit of story, repeat.
The graphics are OK but nothing like some other next gen games.
In then end, I did not finish the game and sold it at the local used game shop. It was worth more to me in store credit than the time it would have taken to finish it.
