In the 1980's we had the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kicking Shredder's metal backside while teaching us that fighting didn't solve everything. The 1990's brought us the 3 Ninja's, where Rocky, Colt and Tum-Tum trained hard and taught us that fighting didn't solve everything. Then in the 2000's we had Naruto, the young unfortunate Ninja who tried his very best and in turn taught us that fighting didn't solve everything. What does Ninja Gaiden II teach us? Well of course, killing your enemy in the most brutal way possible will solve everything, what else?
It's amazing to see that the OFLC, Australia's ratings board, did not ban this game. Ninja Gaiden II is full of incredible gore, dismemberments, beheadings... you name it, and it all comes to you at a million miles per minute. The huge amount of ways you can destroy an enemy is unparalleled and heck, you can admit it, a whole lot of fun."
