This game is awesome! If you like Ninjas, Japanese anime, beat'em ups, the supernatural, weapons, or just absolute carnage, then you need to get this game.

However, here's a few things this game is NOT:

1) A button masher
2) For the squeamish
3) A game with a coherent story line
4) Easy difficulty (I know it sounds like an oxymoron)
5) For the casual gamer

This game requires some form of dedication to master and have fun with... Since otherwise, you'll just spend all your time complaining why you died a hundred million times on the first level. Although, I have to admit, Team Ninja have tried their best to make this one somewhat easier compared to the first (ie, auto heal after every battle, more checkpoints, easier combos, and instant fatality moves).

Top Notch

I loved NGB on the XBox, and really looked forward to NG2. And I think it delivers. Fanboys probably think it's too easy, but for the rest of us, it's a lush, adrenenalizing, fighting environment. You could take forever to learn the various moves and tricks to defeat bosses.
In many ways, it is easier than Ninja Gaiden Black, but I think this makes it more fun. It is very linear, but the graphics and occasional surprises make it worthwhile and sometimes unique.
I continue to have camera view issues with this game. But overall I anticipate playing it again, which is something unusual for me.

Best Action game for xbox 360!

I think anybody who has xbox 360 should buy this game, because it is the best action game out there. Even for all platform. People might compare this with Metal Gear Solid 4, but I can tell you, they are different, this will gives you more fun. I played MGS4 as well, but that game makes me sleep. Although this game might not has the best graphic out there, but the action is smooth and fun. There are two bad thing, one is camera, another one is number of long range shot it required. I believe you heard a lot of review about the camera problem, so I don't want to say it anymore. It is playable, but may give you a bad time for it. I think there are way too many long range shot requirement, this reduce a lot of fun. Personally, I like the first one better, because it balance the level. Maybe this one they try to lower the difficulty, trust me, it is much easier than the first one. I think anybody can beat this game with normal level. Other than these two problems, I think this is a great game, and you shouldn't miss it.

This was fun for about an hour. Then I ran into a boss that is to hard. I died about a zillion times.

Anyone out there I will send you my copy free just to get rid of it before I break it.

I was misinformed. I thought it had an easy mode.

My first run with the 'new' Ryu

I bought this game for the gift card and how I heard NG Black was so great. First, let me say this game focuses more on survival than stylishly beating up on enemies. You'll get ambushed many times by numerous enemies, sometimes spamming projectiles to no end.

I feel kind of bad for using items, but I suppose this game encourages it, because your score is not affected. Still, it makes me feel like an amateur. The gameplay is as deep as you want it to be. You can use one weapon and spam the same combo everytime, or you can do many different combos with many different weapons.

This game is glitchy so beware. I've had to restart twice due to game freezes, and sometimes the camera gets skippy. Oh yeah, the camera.. The bane of everyone's existence. It's usually too close and not high enough, so you can't see very well. And I really hate it when stuff is exploding all around you and you can't see anything. Also, sometimes I get a wall or door between me and Ryu, so I can't see a thing. Right trigger readjusts the camera but it doesn't always help.

This feels like an unfinished product and is frustrating at times so I'll give it two stars. Probably deserves three, but I am kind of annoyed at the moment. I know many would like to disagree with my rating, but I'm not all that happy with my purchase. I guess they feel like the gore and combos make up for its shortcomings. Not me, I'd trade in the delimbing fests for a more polished game.

In love with Ninja Gaiden II

I just finished this game not to long ago and it was quite a rush. It wasn't as hard as the first one but still a challenge. It took me 4 days to beat it. The game was absolutely amazing and full of surprises.

Itagaki's goodbye gift

Tomonobu Itagaki left Tecmo and this is his last ninja gaiden, but he make sure that when he left a good last game was behind his footsteps, once again you face one of the hardest games out there, this game is really violent and fast, it will make the normal player into submission far too quickly, the combat system is even better in this one but the game mechanics are getting old and boring kill, walk a few steps, kill, and kill. Fans will be pleased but newcomers may not enjoy the flavor of blood in this violent and fun tittle

Ninja Gaiden 2, The end of Ninja Gaiden lacks story.

I've been a fan of Ninja Gaiden since it was first on Nintendo. When Ninja Gaiden came to the original X-Box there was nothing more awesome than it! Then they upgraded it to Ninja Gaiden Black. This year for the X-Box 360 came Ninja Gaiden 2. Sadly, it's very lame compared to Ninja Gaiden standards. The characters designs, backgrounds, and all are great. The story lacks. Still love kicking butt with Ryu as always but some of the NEW weapons didn't measure up. Only one out of the several new weapons met my expectations and that was the Scythe. 14 chapters to the end... and then ... an anti-climatic ending. Ick.

I was sad to see Ninja Gaiden end like this because it is the LAST one going to be made. The dude who created it and a bunch of others are going to sue the distributor or something. Anyway, no more Team Ninja, No more Dead or Alive or Ninja Gaiden games. This saddens me because for me, there was no one (save for Bungie who made HALO) better than Team Ninja.

You can tell that this game wasn't the way they planned it to be... it's a good game for Ninja Gaiden but there is not much new ... and in custom Ninja Gaiden style, it's harder than ever, even in normal (path of the warrior) mode. However, I can say this. Ninja Gaiden is still one of my favorite all time games come hell or high water. I love Ryu, I love kicking booty with him. I love the design of the worlds and the bad guys... what I don't like is no story. But when you are playing a Ninja who walks the worlds between life and death, good and evil, human and fiend... it doesn't really matter what kind of story it is... just so I can kick butt, take names, and be a bad *** ninja.

Great but not like the first!!!

This Ninja Gaiden is awesome. All the elements that make it a true Ninja Gaiden are present. Flawless controls, the impossibility that we've all come to know, are all there. I must say that the first next gen installment of the series is far better and harder. Don't get me wrong this one is great but the previous one was a rock solid game versus this one where it has its strong points and soft spots.
