Ninja Gaiden II Review

Jim from Bit Cultures writes: "Ninja Gaiden is a game series that I have completely missed out on over the years. I wasn’t around when the NES games came out and when the series was revived by Team Ninja in 2004. I simply didn’t play. I had always heard good things, but just never made the time to try them. That is until recently, anyway. My roommate suggested that we sit down and play through the game and it was one hell of a time."

....and that's a bad thing how?

343_Guilty_Spark268d ago

If it ain’t on Sony box it’s bad

autobotdan268d ago (Edited 268d ago )

Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all

Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.

Vits268d ago

Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.

Juiceid268d ago

This list is ok, but Ninja Gaiden reigns supreme!

GhostScholar268d ago

I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds465d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3465d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese465d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits464d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Old news now. A few days old

Az1ner1522d ago

Been rocking ng II..such brutality!

Prubar1522d ago

I play a shit tone if action adventure games and NG2 remains one of my favourites. As soon as I’m done DMC5 again ima break this one out.

spicelicka1522d ago

NG2 has the most satisfying combat I've ever experienced in a hack n slash game. I don't know why in the hell they changed it up in the games following.

Z5011521d ago (Edited 1521d ago )

Maybe, because NG has never been about 1 thing cept difficulty. NG always changes since part 2 on NES. (built-in wall climbing & 'shadows')

When NG launched on Xbox. I was like "Why'd they get rid of shadows?"

babadivad1521d ago

Because Team Ninja booted Itigaki from the company. Games have been utter shite ever since.
