First off my current favorite game is Ninja Gaiden 2. I know people said it was gory and full of carnage but it wasn't until I reached a distant level where I got to face a possy...no a horde... no a smorgsborg of enemies. Heads rolling down the stairs,literally TONS of enemies on screen in a small space, and a beautifully done slowmotion implementation.

I believe it was really intended slowdown since it went into it gracefully and exited it just as smooth. I was spent after a good 15 minutes of laughing my ass off from over exposure to violence. I'm telling you this is the funnest game I've played.

So yes, it's pure carnage, the slowdown was amazing and I hope to dear god it was intentional. BUT....I ran across some issues, some more severe than others. For example....

I got into a map hole, spawned on a rock and jumped into an area that I couldn't get out of. All after the script failed to allow me through a door. I speak out of experience, I know the game failed me there.

Second, is the infinitely respawning monster that just kept popping into my screen like it's spawning and the disappearing and reappearing again, FOREVER!!! That weas strange, but I just ran by it and never saw it again, until I fell in a trap door and had to go bacl through the area again.

Third was Guiles invisible handcuffs, yes. I was fighting the blood queen and she put me into Guiles invisible handcuffs, but then she decided to disappear and never return leaving Ryu Hayabusa in a hold that he never did get out of after trying everything. SO I turned off my console and went to sleep.

Great game, buggy as **** though. I hope they fix it with an update.
