It's unflinchingly hard, unapologetically cheap and just when you think you're getting good with the combos, a multi-boss sequence demoralizes you in that way that you've come to expect from the series. There's a fine line between challenging difficulty and blood-boiling frustration. Depending on who you are, Ninja Gaiden 2 will either respect that line or slice it up into tiny pieces and force feed it to you with bits of broken glass.
So those who aren't down with the difficulty level are going to want to play a game that utilizes the Xbox 360's potential with a balanced difficulty level that compliments the solid gameplay - and thereby restore self esteem - leaving Itagaki's insatiable bloodlust to the hardcore crowd that loves it so.
You'll love:
- Gory, slice and dice combat
- Easy-access sub-menu
- Punishing difficulty makes victory that much sweeter
You'll hate:
- Horrible camera that gets stuck behind things
- Lousy level graphics that don't jibe with the pretty-looking gore
- Punishing difficulty makes victory nigh-impossible
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 debuted in 2009; ahead of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's launch, it's time to look back at one of Tecmo Koei's best titles.
With the release of games now slowing on the PlayStation 3, Twinfinite take a look at the 10 hardest platinum trophies on Sony's older system.
I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.
Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.
I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.
Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme
One of my proudest trophies :)
I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes
The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.
I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.
Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.
I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
But I'm still buying this. Big fan of the series.
And this ^ ,is exactly what I was afraid of.
Looks like it will be a rental for me.
