Ninja Gaiden 2 scores 4.2 at Cheat CC

Bottom line, Ninja Gaiden II is a very good action title that has a repetitive yet satisfying combat mechanic. It doesn't look or feel quite like the masterpiece Itagaki stated it was, but it will provide you with several hours of a bloody good time.

conjurdevil5798d ago

such a misleading title!! I actually laughed at myself!

GiantEnemyCrab5798d ago

Agreed. They gave it a 4.2 not a 4.5 so why the discrepancy in this submission?

I LOVE my xbox5798d ago

Yeah pretty misleading title LOL.
Judging from what I've heard so far though.. doesn't deserve more than a 3.8/5 I think.

chaosatom3335798d ago (Edited 5798d ago )

uhhh. NG2 has become like Haze. People just won't stop summiting the reviews.

We all know how NG2 turned out to be.

ukilnme5798d ago

@ chaosatom333

Indeed. Looks like another solid action title.

Montrealien5797d ago (Edited 5797d ago )

yet another solid review, for a solid action title. Nothing new here, this game has been getting positive reviews across the board, and although I liked Haze, this is not the same pedigree. I just hope we get it at my store today, damn Quebec and their french laws, lol.

solidt125797d ago

At first glance i thought they meant 4.2 out 10 but it is 4.2 out 5. I think they should change the title to reflect that because I almost crapped my pants. I will probably pick this one up.

The scores are a bag of mixed nuts. Just shows that this game is not for everybody and that's ok. I'm sure the haters will be all over this with the usual fud though. Just one more day.

decapitator5798d ago (Edited 5798d ago )

People who don't read will surely fall for this, a bit misleading but oh well. Still a rent for me.

v1c1ous5798d ago

didn't that site become irrelevant once everyone found out they were stealing guides from gamefaqs? and people that read the guides eventually found gfaq anyways through the guides and left cheatcc forever?

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 :)

skcej2980d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772980d ago (Edited 2980d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842980d ago

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

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"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

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13284d ago (Edited 3284d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773284d ago (Edited 3284d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3284d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3284d ago (Edited 3284d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113284d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

freshslicepizza3284d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3284d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773284d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3284d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3284d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3284d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3284d ago

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.
