Ninja Gaiden II

Published: Sun 20 Jul, 2008 | On:

The Good:
-The graphics are really great(nex-gen style) and suit the game.
-Fast paced ninja action, crazy awesome moves.
-Cool new weapons and improved upgrades.(My favourites are the Vigorian Flail and the Lunar Staff and the two swords are also really good)
-Easy to use/learn controls system.
-Gorey, bloody ,almost dicusting. Every slash or swipe takes off a limb and squirts blood all over the surroundings.
-Alot more costumes to unlock and buy(ms points)
-Test of valors are challenging and rewarding.
-Alot of difficulties for different skill levels at the game.
-Online leaderboards are ok it's good to watch other players.
-Saving is much simpler with autosave.
-A good playing time, takes a while to finish and gets addictive.

The Bad:
-Some times the blood splatter looks a bit weird half on the wall and half in the air.
-Needs more projectile weapons, the windmill shuriken is found too late in the game.(the ending could of been better.)
-The storyline is a bit stuffed and is basically just about defeating the 'greater fiends'.
-A few glitches on chapters with worms that come out of the ground.
-There are no power enhancing bracelets from the original and no variety in arrows.
-Some quite annoying enemies like water mines and rocket guys.

OVERALL Ninja Gaiden II is a fun, fast, action packed, blood covered game.

I would recommend it to anyone who has played the original or likes ninja games, action games and has a 360 and wants a great game.
