All in all this is a Ninja Gaiden game but...its kind of..mehh..
Being a sequel to Ninja Gaiden or Ninja Gaiden black most would say, this lives up to the reputation....atleast thats what it only achieves, Ninja Gaiden is the exact same blood spilling, head splitting, controller slamming game we all love...or hate.
Ninja Gaiden 2's story is more of a push over...its not great and it dosent really achieve much in the end, Of course you play the role as Ryu Hyabusa a ninja from the Hyabusa clan and as well as the son as Joe Hyabusa (seems like they ran out of japanesse names..like seriously..joe?) The Spider clan or the shadow clan or really the 4 Greater Fiends are looking for a demon head which can open a portal and alot of nasties will come out and destroy the world and its up to you to get it back from their evil hands...pretty simple and almost no orginal characters come back to help( WTH!?! No Ayame!?!?!) Calm down fan boys...theirs a Hot Blonde haired agent....that does what all girls made by japanesse creaters do...you know it...i know its not like we havent seen it.
When it comes to the story it wont really suck you into the game its just there to show off some cool things and a couple of cool new characters but really that is all.
Now as we know gameplay in NInja Gaiden is grusome, it is in fact the bloodiest game that has come to the Xbox 360 for a while now. Among the Dragon Sword that you will get from the gekko you will eventually get a staff, claws,a sythe, dual swords ect. All these weapons have different attributes especially when it comes to power technique and speed. The Lunar staff being very long and powerful is also slow and is open to attack often especially from fast opponents. The claws on the other hand are very fast good against agille oppoents as well as slow ones but when faced by many eneimes around you, you may have some trouble taking care of them
Each weapon as their own execution techinques, when you wound a opponent (wounding an opponent is basically taking off a piece of their body being their head arms legs) You may perform a execution technique that will rip opponents to shreds or cut of their head and let them die on the ground.
Ultimate attacks are really the same thing ripping your opponents to shreads but with a stronger effect the longer you hold the Y button, Unleashing these techniques can be mostly fatal to any enemy as well as others around the enemy.
Bosses are more varitized in Ninja Gaiden, some bosses may be huge when some may be small but overall...some can be pretty cheap...and some may have glitches....some may be easier then others all in all they are fun to fight if it wasent for...the difficulty..
The difficulty you could say might have gotten worse even at the lowest setting, enenimes come in numbers as well as some invisible enenimes that you cant see mabey from the camera problems or just invisible overall, but the gruling difficulty can be punishing especially to new comers to the series as well as veterans on the high difficulties.
This is a pretty game to look at as well as Ryu Having a voice actor which sounds good but not the greatest, Ryu looks great as well as the blood effects from enenimes but some of the level designs look just plain and done in a 3D paint option
Overall this is a game that you will either really enjoy or be completly frustrated with it and hate it, this is the bloodiest game on the Xbox 360 now and will be satisfying for those wanna be ninjas and cerial killers. You will be playing this game for a while and deserves a rent just to see how to kill somone in the funnest way
