This game is incredibly good, I have been playing it since I got it and don't think I'll put it down any time soon. The images are incredibly good and all the different moves you can perform with each weapon give the game a great interaction.
great game

Ninja Gaiden II Review

I've played the first ninja gaiden and just mainly the beginnning of this one since I haven't had too much time to play it yet. First one's story line definetely seemed better from what I can see and am told however in an action game like this story line isn't the games main purpose. Ninja gaiden II definitely improves the fun factor with a more exciting action system that involves you performing finishing moves constantly (which are undoubtedly fun to watch and have several animations). The camera is a bit off but can be fixed to a good degree if you enhance the camera speed to it's maximum and you can center the view if needed with the press of a button.
If you bought the first one and enjoyed it, and replayed it this is a definite buy. If you feel you just want to go through it once you should probably rent it first.
The Usual Tecmo storyline, the Usual Tecmo Gameplay.

Normally, I rate a game based on story, foremost... but the gameplay here is so satisfying, and so fast-paced and realtime that the thirty stars it acrues far outweigh the three earned by the storyline. Not to say there's no story, it _does_ exist and there's nothing wrong with it, but those players spoiled by games with high-tensity, jerking-you-out-of-your-seat plot-twists will understand where I'm coming from. The game looks amazing and the combat is so polished that Gaiden II's commands remind me of Halo 3 in feel and brain-to-controller travel time. Picking this game up is outrageously easy if you've played Ninja Gaiden Sigma; the controls are almost identical, and playing the previous ninja gaidens undoubtably helped me prepare for the ne'er faltering unfairness of the situations the PC gets tossed into.
The dismemberment is awe-inspiring, the combos are easy to execute but it takes practice to know _when_ to use them properly, and the interaction between your swords, ninpo and your enemies is tasty in a toe-curling kind of way.
Playing this game is a treat. I love it.
Cleanly done.

The first game was one of those games that you could easily get burnt out on. This one, that isn't the case. With the different selection of weapons and changing from Tokyo to New York City keeps things interesting. The bosses are also harder in this game. I had to repeat the Chapter 2 boss at least 10 times before I finally beat the crap out of him and won. I would suggest this game to those who are blood thirsty, feel like being a ninja and like a good story line with not too many holes in it.
I finally beat it!!!!

Very difficult game. At certain points, the game stopped being fun and was just plain tedious. The graphics are incredible and the game play is similar to the first one.
I didn't like that you could only save one game file. I actually had to restart the game halfway through. I kept dying and didn't have any health potions.
The game really picks up near the end. At one point, you face about 30 ninjas at one time. This should have been the best part of the game. Unfortunately, the 360 can't handle this part and the game slows down to a crawl. Very disappointing.
I also didn't care for the optional tests of valor sequences. It was just wave after wave of the same enemies. Not much fun.
Overall, a good game but can be very aggravating
Camera View!!

Bloody camera view is the most frustrating thing about this game. It constantly sweeps around and half the time it's impossible to know where the enemies are. Not to mention the camera sweeping and panning around makes one have to constantly change the direction they want/need to go with the thumb stick. It's more annoying that Mass Effect's camera system. Simply frustrating to no end! Am I the only one that's just annoyed at how the camera system works? One can use the right trigger to center on Hayabusa's back to keep the camera from constantly sweeping around, but it would have been better if the button made the camera focus on the bad guys instead so one wouldn't have to jump around blindly to find them. Sure, you could turn around and look for them, but by then you'd have a sword in the back.
